The Bentley EXP 15 is a design vision which aims to provide clues about the brand’s first full-electric production car being revealed 2026.
The Bentley EXP 15 is all-electric with an all-wheel drive powertrain and has a three-seater layout taking inspiration from the 1930 three-seater Bentley Speed Six nicknamed “Blue Train”.
The five metre-plus full-size physical exterior model has an iconic upright grille, long ‘endless’ bonnet and rearward cabin reminiscent of the 1930 Bentley Speed Six Gurney Nutting Sportsman coupe, often known as the “Blue Train”.
Bentley says that the concept provides hints about the design of future Bentleys including the brand’s first fully electric car, due soon.
The EXP 15’s cabin, created using virtual reality (VR) software to enable customers to see and experience a wider variety of possible configurations, mixes familiar contemporary physical car interior features like luxury seating, wing-shaped dashboard, steering wheel, dials and switches with futuristic digital elements that can be brought to the fore or melt away into the background as driver mood or functional need requires.
The concept is unusual for featuring three seats and three doors – rather than four or five of both – and includes innovative in-cabin storage for pets and/or hand luggage. When stationary even the boot space can take on a dual role as upmarket picnic seating. Open the large rear hatch and two small seats can deploy alongside an atmospheric physical lamp and fridge stocked with cold drinks, which can slide back from the rear seats.
The EXP 15 is conceived as having a fully-electric, all-wheel drive powertrain with a long range and ultra-rapid charging speeds.
The EXP 15 is not a preview of the smaller all-electric production Bentley Urban SUV expected in 2026.
