Sami Malkawi, Managing Director, Lincoln Middle East is pleased that the region’s luxury nameplate buyers continued to demonstrate a strong affinity for Lincoln through 2021. “We saw exceptional growth across a range of vehicles. The consumer response to the Corsair and Aviator, which both launched in the region in 2020, was reflected in the excellent growth in sales, and I would like to thank our distributors for their tireless efforts to support our iconic, premium nameplates.

“Our line of luxury SUVs continue to appeal to a broad swathe of Middle East buyers who possess a highly refined taste and appreciate a world-class customer experience.”
