Bentley states its manufacturing will remain human-led and handcrafted.

According to CarExpert, Bentley will keep human-led, handcrafted manufacturing and will not adopt AI-driven automation, even as it unveils the Torcal, its first electric vehicle. Production is set to begin on a new Crewe production line in Q2 2027, with Australian deliveries expected before the end of next year, and the car introduces bespoke options including Merino wool interiors with 100% RWS certification.
