- New Bentley EXP 15 revealed
- Concept car that’s fully-electric
- Hints at a future production model
- Takes its cues from classic 1930’s Bentley Speed Six
Bentley has revealed its latest concept car, the EXP 15, offering a bold vision of the brand’s electric future.
As it stands right now, there’s no electric Bentley in the firm’s line-up, though a battery-powered SUV has been promised for 2026 as the brand looks to go full EV by 2030.
And this new concept offers a glimpse at what Bentley’s debut EV might look like.
Drawing inspiration from the legendary 1930 Bentley Speed Six (famously nicknamed the ‘Blue Train’), the EXP 15 reinterprets the classic Grand Tourer silhouette with a show-stopping modern twist.
The design features a striking upright grille enhanced by futuristic lighting technology, an elongated bonnet, and powerful rear haunches.
To many observers, there are hints of the controversial Jaguar Type 00 concept (which had the world talking when it was launched last year) in the EXP 15’s look and feel, particularly with its massive bonnet sitting in a different postcode and with a squared-off front face.
Bentley talks about the EXP 15 representing a whole new design language, with phrases like ‘Upright Elegance’, ‘Endless Bonnet Line’ and even ‘Resting Beast’ being enthused about.
Inside the cabin there’s a unique three-seat, three-door layout that allows for more space and also includes swivelling passenger seats - and a bed for your dog!
You can also expect the finest quality materials, including wool textiles, 3D-printed titanium and illuminated mesh inlays.
The dash also toggles between an infotainment screen and a veneered wood panel.
There are no details about the car’s battery and powertrain just yet.
But a Bentley spokesperson said: “EXP 15 is not a preview of the smaller all-electric production Bentley vehicle expected in 2026 either. But subtle design cues relating to that first car are highlighted within this concept’s exterior form, as well as showcasing digital and technical ideas on the interior that could become reality in the longer-term.”
