Bentley reveals details of its upcoming electric SUV

Bentley has announced more details of its first all-electric SUV, as well as giving us the first official glimpse of its silhouette. 

We have previously seen spy images of the SUV testing in camouflage, and this teaser image confirms those proportions. 

Set to slot beneath the Bentayga in the brand’s line-up this SUV will measure a touch under five metres long. 

According to the British brand, this SUV will offer “industry-leading” charging speeds, with the ability to add 161 km of range in seven minutes. 

It’s likely that this SUV will share a lot of its internals with the Porsche Cayenne Electric, potentially getting the same 108kWh battery. 

“Our first fully electric Bentley, the world’s first true Luxury Urban SUV, represents a bold step forward, it embodies our vision for sustainable luxury and technological excellence,” said Chairman and CEO, Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser.

This SUV will be unveiled in full at some point next year, with a launch slated “towards the end of 2026.”

Alongside talking about its new electric offering, Bentley mentioned that it has updated its plans around going electric-only by 2030. 

The new plan sees the British brand extending this deadline to 2035, where it plans to sell hybrid vehicles up until “at least” that date.
