Luxury carmaker Bentley has reported a decline of 11% in vehicle sales for the year 2023, writes Leatherbiz.

Sales were down in Europe, the Americas, and China due to rising costs and slowing economies. However, sales of personalized and bespoke content in vehicles, including leather and wood, increased by 43% during the same period.

Bentley sold a total of 13,560 cars in 2023, a year after the automaker achieved record sales in 2022.

Despite the decline in sales, Bentley remains cautiously optimistic for the year ahead.
