Bentley EXP 15 Concept Unveiled: A Bold Glimpse Into Bentley’s Electric Future
Bentley Motors has taken a huge step toward its fully electric future with the stunning reveal of the EXP 15 concept. While it won’t ever go on sale, this full-size exterior model is more than just eye candy—it's a design manifesto previewing the brand’s first all-electric production car, set to debut in 2026.
🔹 A Nod to Bentley Heritage
Inspired by the iconic 1930 Bentley Speed Six "Blue Train", the EXP 15 carries forward design cues like:
An upright, classic Bentley grille
A long, sculpted bonnet
Rearward cabin placement
Muscular rear haunches
Side by side, the Blue Train and EXP 15 showcase the evolution from classic luxury to futuristic performance.
🔹 Futuristic Yet Grounded in Reality
Though it draws comparisons to Jaguar's Type 00 concept, the EXP 15 offers a more grounded and realistic vision of the future. Bentley's designers made it clear: this isn’t a flight of fantasy—it’s a preview of what’s coming.
🔹 Design & Innovation
The EXP 15 is a three-seat, three-door concept with asymmetrical door access:
Driver side: One door
Passenger side: Twin coach doors + partial roof opening for easier entry
The luxurious passenger seat can swivel 45 degrees and slide forward, backward, or recline—perfect for first-class comfort.
🔹 “Mechanical Marvel” Dashboard
At the heart of the dashboard lies a unique Bentley creation called the Mechanical Marvel. This analog-style device features illuminated, movable fingers to display:
Direction of travel
Battery charge
Other vehicle statuses
All hidden behind a rotating digital screen for that ultra-premium futuristic touch.
🔹 Materials That Redefine Luxury
Bentley’s EXP 15 concept blends high-end craftsmanship with futuristic materials:
Pallas Gold satin liquid metal paint
Silk jacquard textiles promoting well-being
Acrylic Couture mesh with illuminated 3D effects
100% wool textiles in damson ombré tones
3D-printed titanium accents
🔹 What’s Next?
While the EXP 15 will never hit the road, it's a design beacon for Bentley’s 2026 electric car, and if this is any indication, the future looks exquisitely luxurious and environmentally innovative.
Stay tuned—Bentley’s electric revolution is just getting started.
