ROLLS-ROYCE posted the highest ever sales figures in its 117-year history in 2021, according to a report released yesterday (January 10) by the company. The firm delivered 5,586 cars last year, an increase of 49% on 2020, with record sales seen in areas such as Greater China, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV, which starts from around £250,000, was the company’s best-selling model in the UK with 128 units finding new owners. Order books are filled well into the third quarter of 2022, Rolls said, while its used Provenance programme also enjoyed record sales. Müller-Ötvös said, however, that Rolls-Royce would not be chasing volume sales in the same way as rival Bentley, which sells around three times as many cars every year.
