Bentley Delivers Over 10,000 Cars For Third Consecutive Year

On the back of strong growth in Europe, the UK and North America, Bentley has every reason to be jubilant.

The British luxury brand delivered 10,100 vehicles in 2015. Of those, 2,864 were sold in North America, which once again was its biggest market, even if this number fell shy on 2014’s 3,186 units.

Meanwhile, sales in Europe jumped by 10 per cent, from 1,539 to 1,695 cars. It also experience a marginal rise in the UK, from 1,387 to 1,457.

As with many other luxury automakers, the slowdown in China adversely affected the company, with deliveries dropping from 2,560 in 2014 to 1,615 in 2015. Despite that, most other markets enjoyed increases in sales including Asia Pacific, Japan, South Korea and the Middle East.

Discussing the sales, Bentley’s member of the board for sales, marketing and aftersales Kevin Rose said: “This international success is a further indication of the strength of Bentley’s brand. Not only have we established four key sales regions – North America, Middle East, Europe, including the UK, and China – we are also seeing markets such as South Korea, Russia and Japan grow rapidly too. This will only help us grow further, without compromising our exclusivity, and providing even greater long-term stability for Bentley Motors.”

With deliveries of the Bentayga hitting full gear this year, a record sales result for Bentley could be on the cards.
