Set to be revealed teased in the third quarter of this year, the Bentley SUV will be the luxury automaker's first EV and kick off a new design language. [Bentley president and CEO Mike Rocco told *The Drive*]() in April that the electric SUV will go on sale in the third quarter of 2027 and cost Bentayga money. Don't let the camouflage fool you. Despite the Bentaya- and Flying Spur-like lighting elements, which are actually [mostly stickers](), the camo-clad prototype looks nothing like a Bentley on sale today. Take note of the blunt, upright front end, wide lower intake spanning the front end, and large radar sensor array front and center. The rear has a faster rake to the roofline leading into a sloped rear hatch than that of today's Bentayga. The rear fenders feature some curves, which might be the most similar aspect of this prototype compared to today's Bentayga. ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() It's unclear how much of the [EXP 15 Concept's design]() is baked into this electric Bentley's design with the camouflage. But the blunt front end and wide lower intakes does make one question whether some of the concept's design elements will make it to production. The electric Bentley SUV will share the [2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric]()'s underpinnings, which means a fast 800-volt electrical architecture, probably about 113-kWh battery, dual-motor powertrains utilizing in-house developed motors, and the PPE platform first used by the [Macan Electric](). [Wireless charging]() may even benefit standard or an option on the Bentley EV. We'll see and learn more about the electric Bentley as the reveal draws near. In the meantime, take a stroll through the gallery slideshow of spy shots and see what you can spot on the upcoming electric Bentley. - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley Urban EV Spy Shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() - ![Bentley electric SUV spy shots]() [][][] *Spot something?
