Overview

We tend to think of an automaker's cheapest vehicle as its entry-level offering, but with a price well past $300,000, the Ghost is more accurately described as the Rolls-Royce for those who drive themselves. (Stretching even longer than a Chevrolet Suburban, its big brother, the Phantom, can be difficult to maneuver.) But the tidier of Rolls-Royce's sedans is just as opulent as its pricier sibling and also boasts a velvety twin-turbocharged V12. And if you need a bigger back seat but don't want to deal with the full bulk of the Phantom, the Ghost Extended is 6.7 inches longer than the regular-wheelbase model, all of which is devoted to the back seat.
Edmunds spotlight: What's new for 2025
Rolls-Royce gave the Ghost a bit of a face-lift for this year, with smoother front sheetmetal and new exterior lighting. But the change is most evident inside, where glass now spans the entire dashboard. Pixels don't necessarily convey wealth the way physical objects do, and so next to the infotainment touchscreen is the Spirit of Ecstasy Clock Cabinet, which includes an analog clock and a mirror-polished miniature of Rolls' hood ornament. Elsewhere inside, buyers can spec the new Duality Twill upholstery, a rayon made from bamboo fibers, or leather with Placed Perforations, which uses different-size holes punched into the upholstery to create images with a three-dimensional effect.
Competitors to consider
Bentley is the Joker to Roll-Royce's Batman, and its Flying Spur undercuts the Ghost's base price by some $75,000. But as of this year, the Flying Spur is no longer available with a 12-cylinder engine. The Bentley's new plug-in hybrid V8 is vastly more powerful than the Ghost's V12, but buyers who absolutely must have a dozen cylinders should also check out the Mercedes-Maybach S 680.
