Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars Launches New Luxury Showroom in Chennai
On 15 October 2026, Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars officially opened a newly redesigned luxury showroom in Chennai, marking a significant milestone for the brand’s South‑Indian operations. The inauguration was attended by Julian Jenkins, Director of Sales & Brand for Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars, who was on a broader regional visit, and Vasanthi Bhupathi, Dealer Principal of Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars Chennai (KUN Exclusive).
The new showroom has been rebuilt to reflect the marque’s global visual identity. Its entrance is inspired by the iconic Pantheon grille, offering a discreet preview of the brand’s world‑class interior. Central to the space is a dedicated Bespoke Commissioning Atelier where clients can collaborate on highly personalised vehicle projects. Complementing the atelier is a “Cabinet of Curiosities” that showcases curated Indian art and design, honouring local culture while inspiring creativity.
Julian Jenkins highlighted India’s unique place in Rolls‑Royce history, noting that Indian patrons have been commissioning bespoke cars for over a century and that the market remains a cornerstone of the brand’s legacy. He described the new showroom as an “important step” that reinforces Rolls‑Royce’s commitment to India and provides an environment designed to inspire imagination and deliver an exceptional Bespoke client experience. Vasanthi Bhupathi echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the decade‑long trust and shared pursuit of excellence between the dealer and the marque.
Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars has served the Chennai region since 2013, and the new facility expands its capability to serve clients across southern India. The company cited that India was its highest‑growth market in the Asia‑Pacific region in 2025, underscoring the strategic importance of the country.
