2028 Bentley Torcal: First Electric SUV for the U.S.

The new Bentley Torcal becomes the brand’s first production EV, combining up to 810 hp, 375 miles of range and ultra-luxury craftsmanship.

Bentley enters the electric era with the Torcal

Bentley has officially revealed the Torcal, its first production electric vehicle.

The new SUV becomes the brand’s fourth current model line and the first all-new Bentley introduced in a decade. It also brings a new design direction with cleaner surfaces, a more minimalist shape and a new interpretation of Bentley’s traditional details.

For American buyers, the Torcal is already part of Bentley’s U.S. website. Bentley lists it as “Coming Soon”, confirming that the model is intended for the U.S. market.

The production Bentley Torcal introduces a cleaner, more progressive design language.

The new design is easy to recognize.

At the front, Bentley uses a Floating Diamond Grille with 76 individually applied illuminated diamonds. The lighting sequence activates when the vehicle is unlocked.

The body also has a strong, upright stance. At 197 inches long, the Torcal remains a substantial luxury SUV despite being positioned below the Bentayga in the range.

Bentley has also integrated a number of advanced lighting elements. Welcome lamps project the Bentley wings onto the ground, while the tailgate design references the luggage carrier of the historic Blue Train Bentley.

The Torcal offers serious electric performance

The standard Torcal uses two electric motors and all-wheel drive.

Bentley lists 810 bhp, 852 lb-ft of torque and a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds. The SUV has a 113.2-kWh battery and a top speed of 155 mph.

Range is also a key part of the package.

Bentley lists up to 375 miles of range for the Torcal. The company also says a 10-to-80 percent DC fast-charge session can take just 16 minutes.

Those figures put the Torcal firmly into the high-performance luxury EV segment.

The cabin combines handcrafted materials with a curved OLED touchscreen and Bentley’s new Curation Engine.

The cabin follows the same philosophy.

Bentley uses Ombre Walnut veneers, leather, Dinamica and satin-finished metal controls. The dashboard also features a vertically curved 12.25-inch OLED touchscreen, the first OLED display Bentley has fitted to one of its cars.

Comfort is another major focus.

The front seats offer 16-way adjustment, heating, ventilation and massage functions. Bentley also offers Wellness Seating with additional massage functions and automatic seat climate control.

Bentley creates a cabin that changes with the driver

One of the Torcal’s most unusual features is the Curation Engine.

This system changes more than the driving settings. It can also alter lighting, sound, seat settings, the sunroof and climate functions to create different cabin environments. Bentley offers four main modes: Comfort, Sport, Bentley and Refresh.

The goal is to make the interior feel different depending on the journey.

Sport mode creates a more focused atmosphere. Comfort mode reduces distractions. Refresh mode is designed to make longer journeys feel more energizing.

Bentley also offers a 28-speaker Naim for Bentley audio system with 1,780 watts, Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 and individually configurable sound zones.

Torcal S pushes performance even further

Bentley is also launching a more powerful Torcal S.

The performance version produces 876 bhp and 996 lb-ft of torque. With Launch Control activated, Bentley quotes a 0-60 mph time of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 162 mph.

That makes the Torcal S the most powerful production Bentley ever built, according to the company. Its exterior adds darker trim, a more aggressive body kit and exclusive 22-inch wheels.

The S version also keeps the same 375-mile maximum range listed for the Torcal.

The Torcal combines all-wheel drive with Bentley Active Ride and four-wheel steering.

Advanced chassis technology keeps the Torcal refined

Bentley has not focused only on power.

The Torcal uses Bentley Active Ride, an advanced suspension and roll-control system with electrically controlled hydraulic pumps for each damper. The system can adjust each corner independently to improve body control.

Four-wheel steering is also standard.

At low speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels. Bentley says that can reduce the turning circle to 11 meters. At higher speeds, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels to improve stability.

The Torcal also adds intelligent parking functions.

Depending on market and equipment, systems can assist with parking, reversing out of tight spaces and even recording a route into and out of a garage.

What does the Bentley Torcal cost in the U.S.?

Bentley has not officially announced a U.S. MSRP for the Torcal.

Current U.S. estimates place the starting price around $250,000, but that remains an estimate rather than an official Bentley figure.

The model is already featured on Bentley’s U.S. website, where the company lists it as Coming Soon. Bentley’s U.S. site also warns that the vehicles shown in its imagery are European models and that specifications can vary by market.

That means the final American specifications and pricing still need to be confirmed.

The 2028 Bentley Torcal therefore represents a major change for the brand. It combines a new electric powertrain with traditional Bentley craftsmanship, advanced chassis systems and a highly personalized cabin.

For the U.S. market, the Torcal is clearly on its way. The official Bentley site already includes the model, while pricing and final American-market details remain to be announced.
