The Rolls-Royce lineup is classified as rides of status and extravagance. Its huge waterfall grille and classic upright proportions convey a message of royalty, wealth, and class.
The 2023 Rolls Royce Phantom also stands out in the ultimate-luxury car class for its price, which is hundreds of thousands higher than those of rivals such as the Bentley Flying Spur or the Mercedes-Maybach S-class.
To the Phantom’s credit, there’s probably not a more comfortable luxury car on the planet. It wafts down the road, floating serenely over pavement imperfections while pampering its passengers with an array of sumptuous interior materials.
Plus, its big V-12 engine hums away nearly silently under the Phantom’s long hood, providing effortless power. There’s seemingly no end to the customization opportunities offered by the factory.
Engine & Performance
Prodigious power is provided by a silken 563-hp twin-turbo V-12 paired with an eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. Acceleration is brisk, but Rolls-Royce’s claimed 5.1-second zero-to-60-mph time isn’t anything you’d appreciate your chauffeur trying to replicate.
The Phantom is better suited to easing along lazily; delicate inputs to throttle and steering are what it likes best. To say that the ride is smooth would be an understatement. Imagine being carried aloft on a fluffy cloud.
The Phantom practically levitates over the road; it features a pothole-spotting camera that helps the suspension adapt to road imperfections in real time. It’s a library-quiet, sensory-deprivation cocoon.
Fuel Economy
A Phantom owner’s conspicuous consumption is matched by the car’s penchant for consuming fuel. The EPA’s fuel-economy estimates run as low as 12-mpg city, although the Phantom’s 20-mpg highway rating actually bests the smaller Rolls-Royce Ghost by 2 mpg.
Interior
Acres of wood, leather and metal accents cover the cabin, which is no surprise for a car of this class. But there’s so much more: for instance, if you want to use your Phantom to support the arts, you can specify custom artwork in place of the standard instrument panel trim.
Rolls Royce offers both a standard and long wheelbase versions of the Phantom. The latter stretched by 8.6 inches, which results in additional rear-seat legroom. Rear-hinged coach doors open to allow graceful and dramatic arrivals and departures.
Rear-seat passengers can be treated to myriad luxuries such as deep-pile carpeted floor mats, power-adjustable seats with massage, remote controls for the infotainment system, and a refrigerated console compartment for libations.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
The Phantom’s dizzying array of optional tech includes night vision and a distinct laser-light system, but Rolls-Royce also offers more conventional driver-assistance features such as forward-collision, lane-departure warnings, and cruise control with night vision as standard.
