by In 2026, Bentley is preparing to present its first electric car, but for now, it is introducing us to the EXP 15 concept – a bold experiment that combines features of a coupe, sedan, and crossover. This prototype demonstrates the brand’s new design direction and unexpected ideology.
The exterior of the EXP 15 is far from Bentley’s classic silhouettes. The front is adorned with a massive illuminated grille that looks like a digital art object. It is complemented by vertical headlights and a new winged logo with illumination. The hood, under which the front trunk is located, smoothly transitions into black windshield pillars and a sloping roof, creating a contrast with the shiny silver-gold body.
Among the details that attract attention are the muscular lines above the wheel arches, as well as the door asymmetry: on the driver’s side there is only one, while on the passenger side there are two, with no seat behind the front one. The rear looks more restrained: active spoilers, a diffuser, and laconic taillights reminiscent of American muscle cars. With a length of over 5 meters, the EXP 15 is slightly shorter than the Flying Spur but retains its impressiveness.
The concept’s interior is designed for three people but with a flexible approach. The front passenger seat can recline 45° for easy entry, switch to “co-pilot” mode, or even transform into a dog bed. The absence of a traditional second front seat creates a sense of space, especially for rear passengers.
The central element of the interior is the wide instrument panel with the “Wing Gesture” concept. It is a combination of digital displays and mechanical indicators that create the feeling of a living mechanism: the needles light up and move, showing data about charge, direction of travel, and more. If desired, the screens can be hidden, revealing a decorative wooden panel under the glass, adding a classic atmosphere.
The rear seats are separated by a console with a screen, a lamp, and a refrigerator. And the trunk transforms into a picnic spot: the tailgate folds down, revealing small seats, and the console extends, creating a cozy spot outdoors.
Bentley is cautious about technical specifications, only noting that the production version will receive an all-wheel-drive electric setup with a long range and fast charging to meet the expectations of the brand’s clients.
