Bentley Torcal electric SUV revealed for India launch in 2027

Bentley has officially revealed the Torcal, marking a significant shift for a brand traditionally defined by massive combustion engines. The Bentley Torcal is the manufacturer's first fully electric vehicle and will arrive in India by mid-2027. It represents the fourth model line in the portfolio, sitting just below the Bentayga SUV.

Bentley Torcal electric powertrain and future plans

For over a century, the British luxury carmaker has been known for its supercharged engines, mighty W12s and thundering V8 powerplants. The Torcal departs from this rich history entirely as it will never feature a petrol engine under its bonnet, completely changing the ownership experience.

Instead, this new electric vehicle serves as the foundational template for every upcoming Bentley model. The company states that this design and engineering approach will define their future vehicles, regardless of what powers them.

What to know about the new electric SUV

While exact battery specifications, range, and performance figures are yet to be detailed for the production model, the vehicle promises a complete departure from the rumbling engines of the past. Buyers interested in adding this luxury EV to their garage will have a long wait ahead before experiencing its silent luxury on Indian roads.

• It is the first fully electric car from the brand
• It stands as the fourth distinct model line
• The vehicle is positioned just below the Bentayga
• It establishes a new template for future models

Waiting for the 2027 India launch

The mid-2027 timeline means Indian buyers looking for a high-end luxury electric vehicle right now will need to explore other options on sale today. However, those loyal to the winged badge who want an emissions-free driving experience finally have a definitive target to look forward to.

Since the car is still in the early reveal phase, it is much too early to predict the exact variants, battery sizes, and pricing that will eventually make it to our shores. Prospective owners can expect local dealerships to start sharing more concrete information and accepting initial deposits much closer to the global rollout.
