Bentley EV: Luxury carmaker Bentley has finally begun the pre-production of its first fully electric SUV. This SUV is an important part of the company’s Beyond100+ strategy, under which Bentley will move its entire portfolio towards Electric in the next few years.
The company is offering this electric SUV as the Luxury Urban SUV, which will be less than five meters in size. Its global debut will be in late 2026, while customer delivery will be launched from 2027. Currently, the prototype testing phase of this SUV is underway and is being built at Bentley’s Crewe plant.

Bentley’s first electric SUV
Bentley has designed this SUV specifically for the ultra-luxury electric segment. The company claims that this SUV will be able to charge a range of about 160 km in just 7 minutes. This means that this car will be given a 300kW fast charging system, making it one of the most advanced electric trains in the market.
This EV of Bentley not only focuses on range and charging speed, but is being built with a lightweight platform and aerodynamic body design. The company is positioning it as a “Luxury Urban SUV ” for use in cities, which will give the perfect balance of both performance and stability.
Crewe Dream Factory
Bentley has started the process of converting its entire Crewe factory to “Dream Factory”. The factory is now becoming a carbon-neutral and flexible production hub, being designed to manufacture incoming Bentley EV models.
The company has created a new paint shop, modern logistics hub, and state-of-the-art design center here. This is Bentley’s largest self-funded investment ever.
Hybrid and ICE Models
Let us tell you that Bentley is rapidly moving towards an electric future, but the company has made it clear that it will not discontinue its existing hybrid and ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) models just yet.
CEO Frank-Steffen Walliser said that given the current market situation, Bentley will continue to offer hybrid versions of models like the Continental GT, GTC, and Flying Spur until 2035.
Limited-Run Performance Model
Bentley has given another big surprise. The company is set to launch a Limited-Run Performance Model by the end of 2025. The model will be a non-hybrid petrol performance car, which is considered a fairwell tribute for Bentley enthusiasts, as the company’s entire focus will be on the electric lineup in the coming decade.

Sustainable Luxury
Bentley’s goal is not just to make electric carts, but to move in the direction of the stable luxury mobility. According to the company, the upcoming EV SUV will not only be environmentally friendly, but will also retain Bentley’s traditional “handcrafted luxury” standards.
Materials used in SUVs such as recycled aluminum, eco-friendly leather alternatives, and renewable components prove that Bentley is writing a new meaning of luxury with responsibility, not just style.
