Introducing Bentley's vision of the future: the Bentley EXP 15 concept, with which the British luxury manufacturer bids farewell to combustion engines, but not glamour. Triple boldness, asymmetry and a digital grille speak the language of the future – and in style.

Bentley The EXP 15 clearly bears the heritage of the Speed Six “Blue Train” (1930), which once defeated a French train. The long bonnet and low, speed-cooker profile are a nostalgic homage, but with a modern electro-dress code. Even from a distance, we can sense the British spirit of good old hunting elegance.

Asymmetry – elegance with purpose: Bentley EXP 15

They were seduced by: one door on the driver's side, two on the passenger side. External, of course – they didn't change the biorhythm of the racer. The rear seat on the passenger side swivels open, allowing easy entry and exit – it has a tology in the world of luxury, if anyone even tests it.

A wealth of light instead of a refrigerator

Without the engine, there's no need to crash into the grill - that's why the cooling grille is at Bentley EXP 15 has given way to “digital art.” The front end is full of dazzling LEDs, while the rear diffuser and dual active spoilers are elegant aerial gymnastics – practical and spectacular.

Dogs, suitcases, a picnic – and surprises

The Bentley EXP 15 carries acoustic beauties: a spacious compartment in front of the rear seat is invaded by a “dog bed” – ideal for your poodle or Hermès handbag. The rear part reveals a tailgate with a minibar, two chairs and a picnic set – a piece of English rural romance in the style of the original clog Greek.

Unknown hearts – but promised speed

Bentley has revealed that the EXP 15 will be electric, all-wheel drive, long-range and fast-charging (the luxury class can’t stand slowness). There are no official numbers on battery, power or acceleration – but there are rumors of +600 kW all-wheel drive and 800‑V architecture. Meanwhile, the production model will debut next year.

Vision: Subtle but compelling prediction of the future

Although it is publicly stated that the EXP 15 is not a direct prototype, the design highlights – airiness, “upright elegance”, new lighting architecture and UX – are real predictions of Bentley’s branded electric future. The production version will likely be an SUV, but the defining elements are already here in the EXP.

Conclusion: Bentley EXP 15

The Bentley EXP 15 is no ordinary concept car – it’s an exception in a world where digital and hand-stitched are no longer opposites, but allies. The asymmetry, the light grille, the doghouse, the array of switches and the mix of textures create an experience that goes deeper than just the visual. No official technical numbers – but with the promise that Bentley’s next EV will be luxurious in a way we can hardly imagine today. And if it’s as quiet as Bentley calls it, we might just feel – boom – the pulse of the last W12 in the silence of the future drive. Prodigal enthusiasts? Kiss the LEDs and wait – Bentley’s silence of the future is coming.
