The car is tested on snowy roads at sub-zero temperatures. This is necessary in order to evaluate the capabilities of the electronics and battery. Production of the new product will be established at the Crewe plant in the UK, and its official presentation is planned for the end of 2026.
If the manufacturer’s plans do not change, the first customers will receive their cars in 2027. This will allow Bentley to overtake arch-rival Rolls-Royce, which is also developing an electric crossover but has scheduled its debut for a later date.
Despite the dense vinyl camouflage, you can see the general outlines of the Bentley Urban SUV body: the car is noticeably more compact than the Bentayga, its silhouette is distinguished by smooth and laconic lines. The headlights and taillights feature a final design that differs from the EXP 15 concept.
The interior will feature a curved OLED display similar to that found in the Porsche Cayenne, as both models are built on a common Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform. Some controls are borrowed from the Audi Q3 and Volkswagen ID.4, but the finishing materials promise to be an order of magnitude higher than those of their German “relatives”.
The basic version of the Urban SUV will receive an engine with a capacity of over 600 horsepower. Top modification – 1000 hp. It is expected that the acceleration dynamics and power reserve of the new model will be among the best in its class.
The entry of the Urban SUV into the market could seriously change the balance of power among luxury electric crossovers. Bentley is committed to signature style, cutting-edge technology and outstanding performance. We can expect new details about the production version to emerge in the coming months.
Earlier it was reported that in Russia they sell a VAZ-2101 with lambo doors and a powerful engine.
