In 2022, the economic headwind will have had little influence on the popularity of expensive cars. Sports car manufacturer Porsche sold 3 percent more cars worldwide than a year earlier.
It was previously announced that Bentley, another luxury brand of the Volkswagen Group, was able to sell more cars in 2022 than a year earlier.
Porsche delivered 309,884 cars last year. The number of cars sold grew particularly rapidly in Europe: an increase of 7 percent. There was no rise or fall in North America. In China, Porsche’s largest sales market, sales fell by 2 percent due to corona problems.
SUVs, such as the Porsche Cayenne, were the most popular at Porsche. Marketing director Detlev von Platen emphasizes in a statement that the car manufacturer was experiencing supply problems and a shortage of parts. This mainly affected the sale of electric models.
Sister brand Bentley had a record year in 2022. The number of sales rose to 15,174, an increase of 4 percent compared to 2021.
