Bentley unveils Torcal, its first fully electric SUV
–
Neutral summary
Bentley presented the Torcal, its first fully electric car, in London on 23 September. The five-metre SUV is the fourth model line for the British marque and a standalone design rather than an electric version of the Bentayga. The name refers to the Torcal de Antequera nature reserve in Spain’s Malaga and also plays on the word “torque”. The top version produces 888 hp and 1,350 Nm of torque, accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and offers up to 600 km of WLTP range. The 113 kWh battery supports rapid charging from 10 to 80 per cent in 16 minutes. The interior uses Merino wool, and the car’s soundtrack, created with musicians, recreates the feel of a V8 engine using orchestral timpani. The UK price starts at £173,300, making the Torcal the most affordable Bentley; O Globo puts this at about $230,000. The model shares its platform with the Porsche Cayenne Electric and is aimed at younger and first-time buyers, including customers in China. The launch follows a €408 million investment in Bentley’s Crewe factory, and comes after the company delayed its first EV and dropped a target of going fully electric by 2030.
