The launch of the first Electric Bentley is postponed to 2026.
One of the most important points of Bentley’s new strategy talks about the company’s first all-electric model.
As part of a massive investment of around $3 billion, the EV is being designed and developed in Crewe, where it will also be manufactured.
Originally, the zero-emissions model was supposed to be released in 2025, but CEO Adrian Hallmark has said the launch has been pushed back to 2026.
The luxury brand’s boss says the delay is technically a “matter of months” rather than a full year.
He said the setback was not related to recent reports about parent company Volkswagen Group having major software problems with its upcoming high-end electric products.
Earlier this month, media reported how VW’s software division, Cariad, is behind schedule with Project Artemis that will produce Audi, Porsche and Bentley EV.
