Bentley, the British luxury carmaker known for its powerful and opulent vehicles, has unveiled its first fully electric car, the Torcal. This five-seat SUV offers impressive performance, with up to 876 horsepower and a claimed range of 375 miles on a single charge. The Torcal will be available in two versions: the standard Torcal, starting at £173,300, and the sportier Torcal S, priced at £200,000. The standard model produces 810bhp and can accelerate from 0 to 62mph in 3.4 seconds, while the S version increases these figures to 876bhp and a top speed of 162mph. Both models use two electric motors, an 113kWh battery, and an 800-volt electrical system, allowing for fast charging—up to 80% in 16 minutes at 400kW. The battery comes with a ten-year, 100,000-mile warranty. The Torcal is the shortest four-door model in Bentley's lineup, measuring 5,000mm in length. It offers practicality with a 460-litre boot, 90-litres of storage under the bonnet, and space for three people in the rear, which can be folded electrically. Designed by Bentley’s head of design, Robin Page, the Torcal features a low roofline, a long bonnet, and a cabin that narrows toward the rear. The car includes an illuminated diamond-pattern grille and a redesigned badge. It also features Bentley’s first fully active suspension, which adjusts each corner independently based on road conditions and driver input. Standard features include rear-wheel steering, which improves maneuverability and reduces the turning circle to 11,100mm. Buyers can choose between conventional brakes or an optional carbon-ceramic system with the largest brake discs in the world. The Torcal is equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, including 25 radars, sensors, and cameras that monitor the surroundings and can automatically reverse to avoid obstacles. The car's powered doors can open and close using radar, with passengers able to trigger the closing by fastening their seatbelts, and the driver can do so by pressing the brake pedal. The main touchscreen can also close the doors. The driving experience is enhanced by a unique soundtrack created by musicians using recordings of drums, a viola, and a bass guitar, with small imperfections retained for a more natural feel. The sound changes based on accelerator demand and speed and can be turned off. The car's indicator sound is a recording of a hammer striking leather in Bentley's upholstery workshops, while the sound from the touchscreen and digital assistant comes from a crystal glass. Inside, the Torcal offers a high level of comfort and luxury. The standard audio system includes 16 speakers and 620 watts, with an optional Naim system offering 28 speakers and 1,780 watts, including seat shakers and Dolby Atmos 7.1. The car features physical controls on the centre console and steering wheel, alongside curved screens. Facial recognition can identify the driver and adjust settings to their preference, and a compatible phone can serve as the key. A head-up display provides navigation and driving assistance information. Four driving modes—Bentley, comfort, sport, and refresh—adjust lighting, sound, temperature, airflow, and displayed information. The Torcal's standard seats come with 16-way adjustment, heating, ventilation, and massage functions, with optional systems that can subtly change the seat’s shape and adjust heating and ventilation. A Wellness Seat Specification extends the massage to the legs, back, and shoulders. A switchable-glass sunroof allows occupants to control the light entering the cabin, with new materials including a wool fabric developed with Fox Brothers and a new ombré walnut finish made from recycled paper and wood. The standard Torcal features satin silver exterior trim and walnut interiors, while the sportier S version has black trim, mirror caps, dark rear lights, and red brake calipers. Inside, the S version includes piano black trim, dedicated quilting and stitching, sports pedals, and illuminated door sill plates. Martin Page, the Torcal’s product line director, emphasized that the car represents a new direction for Bentley while maintaining its core identity. The Torcal will be built at Bentley’s Crewe factory, with UK prices starting at just over £173,300 for the standard model and £200,000 for the S version. First deliveries are expected in the second quarter of 2027.
