The Bentayga SUV remains Bentley’s best-selling model line with a 41 per cent share of sales. The Flying Spur luxury sedan recorded 27 per cent while the Continental GT and GTC ultimate grand tourers together accounted for 32 per cent of sales.
Americas remains the strongest sales region for Bentley, with a 7 per cent increase to 3,154 cars in the first nine months of 2022.

Bentley is expecting a strong end to the year, thanks to the introduction of the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) model. The new luxury flagship SUV has so far accounted for approximately 40 per cent of Bentayga orders since launch.
Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said:
“While Bentley continues to tackle the challenges it faces in the global market, this latest set of financial figures shows strong results in most regions.
“The continued growth in revenue per car supports the options and limited edition models created by Bentley’s in-house coachbuilder Mulliner and the positive customer reception to our increasing range of model derivatives. Furthermore, the launch of the new Bentayga Extended Wheelbase model is expected to further boost sales of Bentley’s luxury SUV.”
