2028 Bentley Torcal First Ride: A Luxury EV that Moves to a Different Beat
Bentley says the luxury SUV will deliver over 838 horsepower and a 300-mile EPA range as it targets new EV buyers.
- During Monterey Car Week, Bentley Motors Limited previewed the Torcal, the automaker's first battery-electric vehicle, ahead of its September 23 reveal in London.
- Engineering for the Torcal utilizes the Volkswagen Group's Premium Platform Electric architecture, shared with the Porsche Cayenne Electric but specifically tuned by Bentley for luxury performance.
- Generating over 838 horsepower with an estimated 370-mile range, the Torcal features the 'Bentley Dynamic Symphony' sound system created by product line director Martin Page using real instruments.
- Bentley confirmed the Torcal will not include a passenger screen, instead featuring a curved multimedia display controlled by the 'Curation Engine' drive mode system.
- Launching next year, the Torcal will price below the $220,000 Bentayga, positioning the SUV as a growth driver targeting both existing and new luxury customers.
