车展对话｜宾利汽车主席：计划两年内推出首款纯电动车型

Group 1 - The acceptance of plug-in hybrid models among Bentley customers is increasing, while the acceptance of pure electric models remains unclear. Bentley plans to launch its first pure electric model within two years [1][7]. - Bentley's performance in the global and Chinese markets is facing challenges, with 2024 being a transitional year. The introduction of the new Continental GT with a high-performance hybrid system is expected to meet performance expectations in Q1 2025. However, overall market prospects are uncertain due to changes in U.S. tariffs, which will impact Bentley's business in the U.S. and affect Chinese customers [4][5]. - The ultra-luxury car market in China is contracting, but Bentley's market share in this segment is growing positively. The company will work closely with its Chinese team to carefully manage supply and demand [5]. Group 2 - Bentley has extended the lifecycle of its plug-in hybrid models from 2030 to 2035 due to positive market feedback regarding the transition from the W12 engine to the V8 hybrid system [6]. - The company is focused on ensuring that its upcoming pure electric model features suitable technology for higher charging efficiency and range, marking it as a completely new Bentley model rather than an electrified version of existing models [7]. - While the trend of smart technology in vehicles is prominent, Bentley customers prioritize craftsmanship and classic design elements when choosing their vehicles. The company remains committed to technological innovation and is actively monitoring industry developments to incorporate suitable technologies into its latest models [8].
