Bentley has unveiled the Torcal, its first fully electric SUV, which is manufactured in the UK at the Crewe facility. The vehicle measures five meters in length and features a design language that includes a backlit radiator grille and the company's updated emblem.
The Torcal S model is equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing 888 hp and 1350 Nm of torque, allowing for a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 2.9 seconds. The base version offers 821 hp, 1194 Nm of torque, and a 0-100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds.
The vehicle uses an 800-volt architecture with a 113 kWh battery, providing a range of 600 km per the WLTP cycle. Rapid charging at 400 kW allows the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes. Bentley provides a ten-year warranty on the battery, limited to 160 000 km.
The interior features seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, as well as an automated rear bench. The car is equipped with 25 sensors and cameras for driver assistance, including automated parking and obstacle avoidance. The infotainment system supports Dolby Atmos 7.1.
Instead of engine noise, the vehicle uses a synthesized sound system featuring string and percussion instruments. The car includes active suspension and rear-wheel steering up to 5 degrees. Pricing and availability details have not been disclosed by the manufacturer.
