Rolls-Royce Phantom 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data.

It’s about the size of a tiny house and ten times the price, but the Rolls-Royce Phantom justifies its price with the most luxurious cabin in the car and the exclusivity built into a half-million-dollar car. The exterior may evoke a familiar, decades-old silhouette, but the Phantom’s interior is packed with modern amenities and high-tech features to accompany its truly sumptuous surroundings.

Excelsior Phantom

A V-12 engine provides endless power, but it purrs quietly under the Phantom’s long hood so as not to disturb the calm ambience of the interior. Fine leather, real wood and real metal parts cover every square inch of the cabin, and those who remain in the back seats can relax in the utmost comfort, especially in the long version Extended.

What’s new ?

Rolls-Royce’s flagship Phantom limousine glides into with few changes, but a new option called the Privacy Suite is now available. This feature adds an electrochromic glass partition between the front and rear seats, as well as an intercom that allows communication with the driver. A duo of 12.0-inch monitors mounted in front of the rear passengers can be set up to mirror laptops or other smart devices, and a set of curtains provides additional privacy from the outside.

You don’t just pick a Phantom – or any Rolls-Royce – off the dealer lot. No. These cars are built to the exacting specifications of the millionaires and billionaires who can afford them; these carriages of the rich are often customized down to the last detail. We won’t even begin to suggest which special order options are worth adding, because how would we know? We would, however, suggest springing for the extended wheelbase model to take advantage of the limousine-like legroom in the rear seats. As they say, go big or go home.

Engine, transmission and performance

Providing incredible power is a silky smooth 563-hp twin-turbo V-12 paired with an eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. Acceleration is brisk, but Rolls-Royce’s claimed zero-to-60-mph time of 5.1 seconds isn’t something you’d appreciate your chauffeur trying to replicate. The Phantom is better suited to wafting along with delicate throttle and steering inputs.

To say the ride is smooth would be an understatement – imagine being carried on a fluffy cloud. The Phantom practically floats above the road; it has a pothole detection camera that helps the suspension adjust to road imperfections in real time. It’s a librarian cocoon that makes you feel like part of the royal family.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

A Phantom owner’s conspicuous consumption is offset by the car’s penchant for fuel economy. The EPA’s fuel economy estimates run as low as 12 mpg city, though the Phantom’s 20 mpg highway rating actually beats the smaller Rolls-Royce Ghost by 2 mpg. If we’re ever lucky enough to put the Phantom through our 200-mile highway fuel economy test, we’ll update this story with test results.

Interior, comfort and cargo

An interior tailored for royalty can get its own custom artwork punch. Ample wood, real metal accents and huge expanses of supple leather cover the cabin.

Rolls-Royce offers the Phantom in both a standard and long-wheelbase version, the latter stretched by 8.6 inches, much of which results in additional legroom in the rear seats. Rear-hinged doors open to allow for graceful and dramatic arrivals and departures.

Rear passengers can be pampered with countless amenities such as deep-pile carpet floor mats, electrically adjustable seats with massage, a cooled console compartment and remote controls for the infotainment system.

Infotainment and connectivity

Speaking of infotainment, the Phantom comes standard with a large infotainment display artfully hidden behind a glass panel that stretches the full width of the dashboard, controlled by a rotary knob on the center console. Lest you think rear seat passengers are left out of the technology game, the Phantom also features touchscreens that slide down from each of the front seatbacks to provide access to the car’s audio and navigation systems, as well as a live TV tuner, so passengers aren’t left behind on their favorite shows while on the road.

Safety and driver assistance functions

The Phantom’s dizzying array of optional tech includes night vision and a distinctive laser light system, but Rolls-Royce also offers more conventional driver assistance features such as forward collision and lane departure warnings as standard. For more information on the Phantom’s crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

• Standard forward collision warning
• Standard lane departure warning
• Available adaptive cruise control with night vision
