Bentley's first electric vehicle, the Torcal, is getting closer to its release, and the company is slowly revealing more details about the upcoming model. The latest teaser focuses on the interior, where a curved touchscreen takes center stage, giving us a glimpse of what to expect from the luxury EV.

The one-minute teaser video shows a floating diamond grille and diamond-stitched seat upholstery, honoring the century-old tradition of Bentley's Crewe models. However, the curved screen is what caught our attention, as it bears a strong resemblance to the Cayenne EV's Flow Display.

Porsche is fitting a curved 12.3-inch OLED panel that extends to the lower section of the center console, which also appears to be the case with the Torcal. However, there are some differences in the Torcal's dashboard layout, including more physical controls below the screen, such as a large rotary knob and plenty of switches to the left and right of the dial.

The curved screen is a notable feature, but it's not as large as the one in the Porsche Cayenne EV. The Torcal also features a fully digital instrument cluster, which might be seen as a missed opportunity to install analog dials and needles for a more upmarket look. The dual-motor setup in the Cayenne Turbo is capable of producing 1,140 horsepower, while the 113-kWh battery supports 400-kW charging and delivers nearly 400 miles of range.

Although the Torcal's specifications are not yet confirmed, it's expected to be closely related to the Cayenne EV. With the Cayenne Turbo Electric already starting at $165,350, the Bentley's sticker price will likely begin with a 2. Pricing details and technical specifications will be published on September 23 at the world premiere in London.
