Discover Bentley’s upcoming electric SUV, delivering 600 hp and a 7‑minute fast charge for 160 km range. Learn more and stay tuned for its 2027 launch.
Following the remarkable success of the Bentayga, Bentley is now turning its attention to a fully electric sport‑utility vehicle that could redefine luxury mobility. Codenamed the “Urban SUV” during development, the upcoming model sits between the Bentayga and Bentley’s future electric offerings, aiming to combine the brand’s iconic styling with cutting‑edge electric performance.
Lightning‑Fast Charging
One of the headline features is an ultra‑rapid DC fast‑charging system that can add roughly 160 km (about the distance from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay) to the range in just seven minutes. This capability puts the vehicle among the fastest‑charging luxury EVs on the market and aligns with Bentley’s promise of convenience without compromising prestige.
Powertrain and Platform
The SUV is built on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) – the same high‑tech architecture currently used for the Porsche Cayenne Electric. Sharing the battery pack, motor configuration, and many chassis components with its German sibling, the Bentley version is expected to deliver around 600 horsepower from a dual‑motor setup, offering both power and efficiency.
Design & Interior Highlights
During winter testing in Europe, the prototype was spotted in a dark, camouflage wrap that hinted at a more angular design than previous concepts. Notable exterior cues include a broader LED light bar at the front and a slim, hidden LED tail‑light cluster. Inside, the cabin features a curved central infotainment screen reminiscent of the Porsche Cayenne Electric, a dedicated digital instrument cluster, and a steering column layout that consolidates controls for lighting, wipers, and headlights – a design language shared with the new Audi Q3.
Key Specifications
- Platform: Premium Platform Electric (PPE)
- Power: Approx. 600 hp (dual‑motor)
- Fast‑charge: 0‑100 % in ~7 minutes for 160 km range
- Estimated release: 2027
- Luxury interior materials continuing Bentley’s heritage
Roadmap to Launch
Bentley plans to unveil the production‑ready design later this year, with customer deliveries slated to begin in 2027. This timeline gives the Crewe‑based automaker ample time to fine‑tune the vehicle’s details, finalize an official model name, and ensure the electric SUV meets the exacting standards expected of the Bentley badge.
Stay tuned for further updates as Bentley moves closer to launching what could become the brand’s most electrified statement of luxury yet.
