Bentley Worldwide Sales by Model in 2022
The continued demand for SUVs ensured Bentayga remained Bentley’s number one model, selling more in its sixth year of sales than ever before, accounting for 42 percent of total sales and establishing itself as the most successful luxury SUV in the world.
Furthermore, consistent appeal continued for the Continental GT and GT Convertible, accounting for nearly a third of sales, 30 percent, with the new, performance-orientated GT Speed the most dynamic road car Bentley has ever built, taking a 31 percent high of the model mix.
Finally, the Flying Spur, a luxury four-door grand tourer, reached 28 percent of total sales, thanks in part to the introduction of the new Hybrid model, the most advanced and environmentally-friendly Flying Spur ever. Since market entry, the Flying Spur Hybrid is 30 percent of the model mix, however, in the UK, two-thirds of all Flying Spurs sold are hybrid, the highest figure globally.
“The reaction to the market introduction of our hybrid models, Flying Spur joining Bentayga last year, demonstrates the path the luxury sector is heading, and we are positioned firmly at the forefront. These numbers are validation that we not only lead the sector in sales and market share but also investment in electric technologies and commitment to being net carbon neutral in 2030.”
