Bentley EV Model Families

List of Bentley EV model families - only all-electric (BEV) models are listed:

Bentley EV Technology

Platform = level of vehicle platform maturity or advancement, and its dominant system voltage.
Shared = ICE-derived | Dedicated = EV-native platform | SDV-Native = future-proof

E/E Architecture: degree of integration and maturity of the vehicle’s electronic/electric control systems (from Baseline legacy wiring to Advanced domain/zonal designs).
Baseline = Distributed ECUs | Modern = Domain-based | SDV-Native = Zonal-based with central compute

OTA Capability = scope of Over-The-Air updates supported — from Baseline basic infotainment to Advanced control and systems firmware.
Baseline = Infotainment/maps | Limited = Infotainment+ | Partial = Multiple systems | Advanced = Most systems | Full = Full-vehicle updateable

Battery Suppliers = primary traction battery suppliers across the model lineup.

Power Inverter Tech = power electronics technology used (silicon carbide SiC vs silicon), which affects efficiency and thermal performance.
IGBT = Conventional | SiC = High-efficiency | GaN = Next-generation, pilots

About Bentley

Bentley Motors is a British luxury automobile manufacturer renowned for its craftsmanship, performance, and heritage of grand touring excellence. Founded in 1919 by W.O. Bentley and headquartered in Crewe, England, the company has built its reputation on hand assembled vehicles that combine powerful engines, refined design, and meticulous attention to detail. Since becoming part of the Volkswagen Group in 1998, Bentley has benefited from advanced engineering resources while maintaining its distinctive British identity and bespoke manufacturing approach.

Bentley is now transitioning toward a fully electrified future under its "Beyond100" strategy, which commits the brand to becoming entirely electric by 2030. The first step in this transformation includes the expansion of plug in hybrid models such as the Bentayga Hybrid and Flying Spur Hybrid, blending traditional Bentley refinement with sustainable performance. The company's first fully electric model is scheduled for release in the second half of the decade, marking a new era for the brand's signature blend of luxury and power.

The Bentley EXP 100 GT concept, unveiled in 2019, embodies the brand's vision of sustainable grand touring for the electric era. It features an all electric drivetrain, advanced AI assistance, and an interior crafted from ethically sourced and renewable materials. The EXP 100 GT serves as both a design statement and a technology platform for Bentley's upcoming generation of EVs. In parallel, Bentley is developing a new Luxury Urban SUV, positioned as its first production battery electric vehicle, combining elevated ride comfort, digital craftsmanship, and long range capability for modern city and highway travel.

Bentley's electrification program is supported by Volkswagen Group's premium EV platforms and battery technologies, enabling the integration of high performance electric drivetrains, long range energy storage, and advanced digital architecture. Research and development efforts at Crewe are focused on preserving hallmark attributes such as effortless torque, quiet comfort, and handcrafted materials while adopting zero emission propulsion.

With continued investment in sustainability, renewable materials, and carbon neutral production, Bentley aims to redefine luxury for the electric age. The brand's evolution from combustion powered grand tourers to electric performance vehicles underscores its commitment to innovation, environmental responsibility, and the enduring appeal of British automotive craftsmanship.
