British luxury car maker, Bentley Motors has revealed that the brand’s first electric vehicle, a "Luxury Urban SUV", will make its global debut in 2026. Meanwhile, the deliveries are set to commence from 2027, starting the brand’s transition towards an all electric future. Interestingly, Bentley has adjusted its timeline for a full shift towards electric vehicles.

While the carmaker was targeting early 2030s for complete electrification, now Bentley aims to achieve this feat by 2035 as part of its revised “Beyond100+" strategy. Interestingly, over the next decade the British luxury car maker intends to release a new PHEV or BEV model annually, with a target of 10 electrified models by 2035.
