Luxury car firm reports soaring profits with average price of a Bentley now £189,000

Bentley is now selling its models for an average of £189,000, the brand has revealed. Announced as part of a presentation at the launch of its new Bentayga Extended Wheelbase, Bentley also said it is now generating an impressive 23.3 per cent return on sales.

The luxury British brand based in Crewe has seen its profits soar as a result, with Bentley making £355 million in the first half of 2022. The brand has been helped by parent owners Volkswagen channeling semiconductors - of which there is a global shortage.

Fellow Volkswagen Group brand Lamborghini has also benefited because of the chip shortage for the same reason. Bentley's current line-up includes the Continental GT and GTC, along with the Flying Spur saloon and Bentayga SUV.
