- Bentley has named its newest model line Torcal ahead of a London reveal on 23 September.
- The name is inspired by El Torcal de Antequera, a natural landmark in Spain.
- Full powertrain, performance, pricing and New Zealand market details have not been disclosed.
Bentley's first electric model now has a name: Torcal.
A name before the numbers
The Crewe brand says the Torcal will join its product portfolio as a fourth model line and be revealed in London on 23 September 2026.
The name continues Bentley's recent habit of borrowing from dramatic landscapes, this time taking inspiration from El Torcal de Antequera in Spain.
Bentley is keeping the hard numbers back for now. It has not disclosed power, battery capacity, performance figures, pricing or market timing for New Zealand.
What it has confirmed is the positioning: the Torcal is being presented as a new model line rather than a derivative of an existing Bentley, and the brand says it will continue its blend of craftsmanship and performance.
Why Torcal matters
That matters because Bentley's electric rollout has not followed the original all-EV timetable. Like several luxury brands, it has had to balance electrification plans with demand for combustion and hybrid models.
The Torcal therefore becomes more than another nameplate reveal. It is Bentley's clearest marker yet for how it wants its next era to look.
The official image is deliberately restrained, showing a slim rear lighting signature rather than the whole car. Bentley says more will be revealed at the September event, so the current story is mainly about the name, the model-line confirmation and the shape of the brand's electric intent.
For now, Torcal gives Bentley's EV project something tangible: a name, a reveal date and a place in the showroom hierarchy. The details that buyers will care about most are still to come.
