Bentley’s 2026 lineup arriving in South Africa
If you’ve been curious about what’s on the horizon for luxury buyers in South Africa this year, Bentley has plenty to offer. According to insiders who speak with every car manufacturer on the market, the brand’s big arrivals for 2026 include a refreshed SUV and its first fully electric model.
Bentley Bentayga Speed – a revamp that’s almost ready
The Bentayga Speed, which we got a sneak‑peek at its global launch in the United States, will soon start arriving locally. The final polish on this high‑performance SUV is being done at Bentley’s Crew headquarters. You can expect the familiar modern family grille and the sleek headlamp design that currently appear on the Continental and Flying Spur. The refreshed Bentayga promises the same powerful performance and luxury, but with a fresh, updated look.
Bentley’s first all‑electric luxury SUV – a city‑ready compact
In 2026, Bentley is also slated to debut its very first all‑electric vehicle: a “luxury urban SUV” built on a smaller footprint than the Bentayga. This compact electric model will aim to bring Bentley’s signature refinement to an urban setting, providing a greener, more efficient driving experience for city dwellers.
Keep an eye on your local dealers—South Africa should welcome these exciting new Bentleys in the coming year.
