Three versions are offered, combining an 800V platform, dual motors, a 113 kWh battery and up to 700 km of CLTC range.

Cabin combines digital and physical controls
The Bentley Torcal cabin uses a symmetrical dashboard inspired by Bentley’s winged emblem. Natural leather, wood and aluminium are combined with knurled rotary controls, physical buttons and bullseye air vents. A curved OLED centre display is paired with an augmented-reality head-up display, facial recognition and a mobile digital key.
