Bentley Motors’ first electric vehicle (EV) will arrive in 2026 as the “World’s First Luxury Urban SUV”.
This new model will be the first of a new PHEV or BEV model to be launched every year over the next decade.
The british luxury marque also announced an extension of its Beyond100 business strategy from 2030 to 2035.
Move aimed at extending the lifecycle of its PHEV models beyond 2030, before becoming fully electric in 2035.
Latest-gen Continental and Flying Spur models are now exclusively powered by the all-new Ultra Performance plug-in V8 hybrid powertrain.
Bentley Motors today confirmed that its first fully electric car will arrive in 2026 as the “world’s first true Luxury Urban SUV.” This new model will be the first of a new PHEV or BEV model to be launched every year over the next decade.
The British luxury marque also announced an extension of its Beyond100 business strategy, now called Beyond100+, from 2030 to 2035 – a move that aimed at extending the lifecycle of its PHEV models before becoming fully electric in 2035.
Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said:
“Four years almost to the day that Bentley initially outlined its Beyond100 strategy, we adapt to today’s economic, market and legislative environment to initiate a major transformative phase for tomorrow.
“Beyond100+ becomes our guiding light as we extend our ambitions beyond 2030, while maintaining our aim of a decarbonised future, including offering only fully electric cars from 2035, and reinforcing our credentials as the British creator of extraordinary cars for over a century and beyond.”
The latest-generation of Bentley’s Continental GT coupe, Convertible and Flying Spur models are now exclusively powered by the all-new Ultra Performance plug-in V8 hybrid powertrain, following the discontinuation of its iconic W12 engine.
