Rolls-Royce is better.
As for "Which is better, Rolls-Royce or Bentley?" Schoppmann, head of Rolls-Royce Europe, said in an interview that there is no more luxurious brand in the automotive industry than Rolls-Royce, and Bentley It's not a rival at all, because the price of a new Rolls-Royce can buy two Bentleys. Although this is a bit self-proclaimed, it is undeniable that the overall price of Rolls-Royce is much higher than that of Bentley.
Rolls-Royce’s high-end attributes have always been maintained at a high level. Li Long, Director of Rolls-Royce China, also said: Rolls-Royce will not enter the mass luxury market. We must maintain Rolls-Royce high-end attributes. Above 4 million is the pricing range for Rolls-Royce cars. Currently, there is no strategy to explore the next lower-end market, let alone lower the brand positioning in order to impact sales.
Bentley’s highest-end model, the Mulsanne, is equivalent to Rolls-Royce’s Ghost. However, considering that Ghost is only an entry-level model for Rolls-Royce, and Bentley currently does not have Higher-level models can compete equally with Rolls-Royce Phantom. From this point of view, the gap between Bentley and Rolls-Royce is still obvious.
