Bentley reveals first EV but delays all-electric plans

Bentley Luxury Urban SUV is due in 2026 - (Bentley)

Bentley has revealed details of its first all-electric model, a Luxury Urban SUV, set to be built in the UK at the heavily remodelled Bentley plant in Crewe. However, plans for the full electrification of the British brand have been pushed back to 2035.

The line drawing Bentley has released reveals a familiar SUV shape, very similar to the company’s Bentayga, but the new electric car will be much smaller at under five meters in length. It will be an addition to the current Bentley line-up rather than a replacement and has been dubbed a luxury urban SUV. It will be revealed in 2026 and go on sale in 2027.
