Bentley Unveils First All-Electric Model Torkar First Edition Official Images

Bentley has recently released official images of the Torkar First Edition. This vehicle is Bentley's first all-electric car and the most powerful model in the brand's history. The First Edition features 22-inch wheels with gloss black and liquid silver spokes, self-leveling wheel center caps, and First Edition badges on the front fenders. The interior adds new color schemes, with options for full leather upholstery with contrast stitching, and an optional rear comfort seat package that includes ventilation and comfort headrests for both rear outboard seats. The vehicle is equipped with illuminated welcome pedals bearing the First Edition lettering, and comes standard with electric front and rear doors, a frosted diamond-pattern tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof with switchable privacy glass, and the Naim for Bentley audio system. The Torkar is built on Volkswagen Group's PPE luxury electric platform, sharing its architecture with the Porsche electric Cayenne. It features a short front overhang and long wheelbase design, with an overall length of approximately 5 meters—about 13 centimeters shorter than the Bentayga. It is equipped with a 5-degree rear-wheel steering system and has a turning diameter of 11 meters. The center console design is inspired by the brand's winged emblem, and the interior retains physical knurled-texture rotary knobs, bullseye air vents, and physical function buttons. The new model has a 90L front trunk and 460L standard rear cargo capacity, with electric folding rear seats offered for the first time. The vehicle features a fully active suspension system with dual-valve adaptive dampers, eliminating traditional anti-roll bars, and can independently adjust damper height and damping in real time based on road conditions. In terms of powertrain, the Torkar is based on an 800V high-voltage architecture and is equipped across the range with dual permanent magnet synchronous motors, offering high- and low-power versions. The base version produces a maximum output of 821 horsepower and peak torque of 1,194 N·m, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. The S version and First Edition can unleash 888 horsepower and 1,350 N·m of peak torque in launch mode, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 260 km/h. All versions come standard with a 113 kWh battery pack, offering a CLTC all-electric range of 700 km, and support 310 kW DC ultra-fast charging, with a 10%-80% charge time of 18 minutes.
