BENTLEY has introduced a First Edition of its new all-electric Torcal SUV, offering up to 375 miles of range and a range of rear-passenger features that could appeal to the luxury chauffeur market.
The new model is based on the higher-performance Torcal S and features a dual-motor electric powertrain producing 888 PS and 1,350 Nm of torque.
It can accelerate from 0–60 mph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 162 mph, making it one of Bentley’s most powerful production vehicles.
The Torcal uses a 113 kWh battery and an 800-volt electrical system, with Bentley quoting a maximum WLTP driving range of 375 miles for the model range. Ultra-rapid DC charging at up to 400 kW allows approximately 100 miles of range to be added in around seven minutes under suitable conditions.
The First Edition also includes several features aimed at rear-seat passengers, including powered rear doors, ventilated outer rear seats, comfort headrests and a switchable panoramic sunroof.
A 28-speaker, 1,780-watt Naim audio system with Dolby Atmos technology is fitted as standard, alongside bespoke leather upholstery, additional interior colour options and deep-pile floor mats.
Exterior changes include unique 22-inch alloy wheels, Graphene Grey brake calipers, carbon fibre detailing and First Edition badging.
The Torcal is Bentley’s first fully electric production model and joins the Bentayga, Flying Spur and Continental GT in the manufacturer’s range.
The standard Torcal is priced from approximately £173,000 in the UK, although Bentley has yet to confirm pricing for the First Edition.
