# 2028 Bentley Torcal
Bentley has announced the 2028 Torcal, a new model entering the brand's lineup that signals the British luxury maker's evolving strategy in the premium automotive space.

The brand currently focuses on flagship models like the Flying Spur sedan and Continental GT coupe, both commanding six-figure price tags. A new entry-level model would expand Bentley's addressable market.
Bentley parent company Volkswagen Group has accelerated electrification across its portfolio, and the Torcal will likely incorporate hybrid or electric powertrains as the automaker transitions away from pure internal combustion engines. This aligns with Bentley's commitment to cease producing ICE-only vehicles by 2030.
