Bentley Motors unveiled its brand’s first pure electric and urban luxury SUV, the new ‘Torcal,’ in Seoul for the first time in Asia and began accepting domestic orders. The event was held to mark the 20th anniversary of Bentley Motors Korea’s entry into the Korean market, with key executives attending, including Frank-Steffen Walliser, CEO of Bentley Motors. The official domestic sales price starts at 330 million won (including VAT) for both the base model and the sporty ‘Torcal S,’ with deliveries to the first customers scheduled to begin by the end of 2027.

The Torcal is equipped with the brand’s first pure electric powertrain, combining high performance with long-range driving capabilities. The base model delivers a maximum output of 821 horsepower and a peak torque of 121.7 kg·m, achieving an acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. The high-performance Torcal S, when launch control is engaged, produces a maximum output of 888 horsepower and a peak torque of 137.7 kg·m, completing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and recording a top speed of 260 km/h.

The battery features a total capacity of 113 kWh using lithium-ion pouch cells and an 800V system, enabling a maximum driving range of 600 km on a single charge under WLTP standards. When using a 400 kW ultra-fast charger, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 16 minutes. Additionally, for the first time in Bentley’s history, it is equipped with full active suspension, adaptive two-valve dampers, and electronically controlled all-wheel steering supporting up to 5 degrees of steering angle, enhancing ride comfort and driving stability.

Interior and convenience features include the ‘Bentley Dynamic Symphony’ sound system, which utilizes actual instrument performances to provide auditory feedback, along with sustainable eco-friendly materials such as merino wool and customizable Mulliner options. The vehicle body, approximately 5 meters in length, is equipped with a 460-liter trunk and 90 liters of front storage space, while the turning radius of 11.1 meters improves convenience for urban driving.
