Bentley has unveiled its new concept vehicle, the EXP 15, in preparation for its first electric car set to launch in 2026. This vehicle, described as an “elevated sporty sedan,” largely departs from the brand’s traditional design language.
The New Bentley EXP 15 Redefines Luxury and Comfort ⚡
The EXP 15 boasts a design philosophy quite distinct from typical Bentley lines. This triple character—part coupe, part sedan, part crossover—is defined by Bentley Design Director Robin Page as follows:
“The SUV segment continues to grow, and we are well-acquainted with the GT segment through four generations of the Continental GT. However, the most complex segment is the sedan, because this class is undergoing a transformation. While some desire the classic three-box sedan form, others prefer a single-volume design or taller vehicles. This car is an opportunity to communicate with customers and understand their expectations.”
The front of the EXP 15 is shaped by a new design language called “Upright Elegance.” Its large, closed grille, with integrated lights, evokes the classic Bentley grille while being presented as a digital work of art. Vertically placed headlights, the new winged Bentley emblem, and an illuminated hood ornament are also part of this innovative approach.
The side profile features a flat hood, black A-pillars, and a rearward-sloping black roof. The roofline, contrasting with the bright silver-gold body, is complemented by aerodynamically optimized wheels and an elevated body. One intriguing detail is the three-door design: a single door on the driver’s side and two doors on the passenger side. However, the unusual aspect isn’t just the number of doors; the EXP 15 has no front passenger seat!
Just like its exterior, the vehicle’s interior is full of unconventional details. There are only three seats in the vehicle, and in place of the front passenger seat, a special area has been designed for pets or luggage. Bentley has developed a dog bed that can be integrated into this space. Alternatively, two suitcases can be placed in this compartment.
The remaining passenger seat is mounted in the rear and can be adjusted into three different positions: Standard, Relax, and Co-Pilot (moved forward next to the driver). The seat can also swivel 45 degrees outwards, making it easier to enter the vehicle.
Bentley has not shared many technical details about the EXP 15. However, it has been stated that this concept will feature an all-electric, all-wheel-drive powertrain, offer a long range, and support fast charging to meet the expectations of Bentley customers.
