PARIS Jan 12 (ETX Daily): The iconic Rolls-Royce sold some 5,586 cars in 2021, a figure that\u2019s up 49% in one year, but above all a record number for the auto brand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rolls-Royce is not the only manufacturer to have broken its records last year, it is joined by Bentley, with 14,659 car sales, an increase of 31% in one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest example of how well the luxury car industry is doing is Aston Martin, which saw its sales increase by 82% in one year, with a total of 6,180 units sold. In every instance, these sales figures were particularly strong in America, Asia and especially in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how can this phenomenon be explained?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, these brands are becoming more and more diversified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are now in tune with the times, with the arrival of new models in their catalogues, including SUVs like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the Bentley Bentayga and the Aston Martin DBX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also promise to go electric soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rolls-Royce has already unveiled its very first 100% electric model, Spectre, which should be on sale by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bentley is already offering a plug-in hybrid version of the Bentayga and is working on an electric sedan, inspired by the EXP 100 GT concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, Aston Martin has already announced that its next generations of the Vantage and DB11 will be electric and that it will launch a brand new fully electric model in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another growth factor is that the \u201cultra-rich\u201d have traveled much less in 2021, due to the pandemic, and have thus been able to treat themselves to a new luxury car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demand has thus never been so strong, especially in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
