Bentley's Torcal EV Launches as Entry-Level SUV, Defying Industry EV Pullback

Bentley has unveiled the Torcal, its first fully electric SUV, marking a pivotal shift for the 107-year-old British luxury brand. Priced starting at approximately $229,500, the vehicle is positioned below the existing Bentayga, making it the brand's most affordable model. Built on the Volkswagen Group's 800-volt Premium Platform Electric architecture, the Torcal shares its foundation with the Porsche Cayenne Electric but features distinct Bentley design cues, including an illuminated diamond grille and synthetic V8 sound simulation. The launch includes a £350 million investment in Bentley's Crewe, England, factory, securing 4,000 local jobs. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in early 2027.
