Black Badge edition debuts with a dark aesthetic and more power
Part of the second Ghost generation introduced for 2021

Overview

There's probably no greater display of wealth than a Rolls-Royce in your driveway. Even the entry-level 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost will set you back more than $330,000 to start. The previous-generation Ghost that debuted in 2010 received some criticism for being built on a shared platform with parent company's BMW 7 Series, but the current generation that was introduced last year isn't saddled with that burden. It's now built on a platform shared by its larger Phantom and Cullinan SUV stablemates.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost 4dr Sedan AWD (6.7L 12cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.92 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

For 2022, the Ghost gains a Black Badge variant that adds a sinister dark aesthetic along with a slight increase in power and a sportier suspension tuning for improved handling. Otherwise, it continues on as it did last year, with an impeccably crafted interior, an excess of smooth power and cloud-like comfort. On many levels, the only way to surpass the Ghost's overall excellence is to step up to the Phantom that will set you back another $125,000.

The Ghost isn't perfect, but it comes close. Its fuel economy estimate of 14 mpg in combined city and highway miles makes it as thirsty as a Ram TRX or Ford F-150 Raptor. Admittedly, that's likely not a big deal for someone with a Rolls-Royce budget. Outward visibility is also hampered by thick roof pillars, but that also may not be much of a concern for the buyer since Rolls-Royce vehicles have traditionally been driven by chauffeurs.

If you're looking for a way to celebrate your financial success, the 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost is an excellent pick, but it's not the only choice. The Bentley Flying Spur is just as opulent and prestigious, plus it costs quite a bit less. The Mercedes-Benz Maybach sedan is also much more affordable, but its familiar S-Class origins make it feel less special. On the SUV front, you also have the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Bentley Bentayga and Mercedes Maybach SUV. For a more traditional sedan experience, though, you'd have a tough time beating the Ghost.

Which Ghost does Edmunds recommend?

The 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost comes in one very well-equipped trim level. That leaves your decisions down to a lengthy list of options and customization opportunities. Of all the available options, the refrigerated rear center console definitely ups the Ghost's luxury game. For the rare owner seeking added performance, the Black Badge enhances power and handling.

Rolls-Royce Ghost models

The five-passenger 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost is available in standard-wheelbase and Extended (long-wheelbase) models. The Extended version adds 6 inches between the front and rear wheels for added rear passenger space. Under the hood is a twin-turbocharged 6.7-liter V12 engine (563 horsepower, 627 lb-ft of torque) that is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels. Standard feature highlights include:

19-inch wheels
Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
Height-adjustable air suspension
Adaptive suspension dampers (help improve ride comfort and handling stability)
Power-folding heated mirrors
Auto-dimming mirrors
Heated windshield
Power trunklid
Four-zone automatic climate control
Leather upholstery
Headliner with illuminated stars or a sunroof
Heated front and rear seats
Heated steering wheel
Umbrellas
Navigation system
16-speaker audio system with a CD player and internal memory
Satellite radio
Wi-Fi hotspot

Standard driver assist features include:

Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
Night vision (displays an infrared image of the area in front of the vehicle to assist while driving at night)
Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Black Badge
This new variant is the sportier and more sinister alternative to the Ghost's standard opulence. For the rather hefty price, you get:

Power increase to 592 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque
Dark chrome and carbon-fiber trim elements
Firmer suspension tuning
Sport exhaust system

In addition to the seemingly endless choices to customize the Ghost to your preferences, there are also bespoke options that are "off-the-menu" — for a cost, of course. Other official options include:

Power-assist doors
Massaging seats
Ventilated seats
Analog clocks
Rear entertainment system
Illuminated grille and Spirit of Ecstasy
Refrigerated rear center console (reduces passenger capacity to four)
Bespoke audio system
Rear picnic tables
Larger wheels

Rolls-Royce Ghost vs. Bentley Flying Spur

The most direct rival to the Ghost is the Bentley Flying Spur, even though the V12-powered Flying Spur has a starting price $100,000 less than the Rolls-Royce. Both deliver unparalleled levels of craftsmanship and attention to detail, as well as silky smooth driving dynamics and the kind of prestige reserved for private jets.

Rolls-Royce Ghost vs. Mercedes-Benz Maybach

The Maybach sedan is based on the stately Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which might make it seem a bit less special than the Ghost. The Maybach's interior is noticeably upgraded from the S-Class cabin, though, and retains all of its driver assist features (many of which aren't available on the Ghost). Combined with Mercedes' MBUX infotainment system, the Maybach represents the tech leader in this class.

Rolls-Royce Ghost vs. Bentley Bentayga

In the absence of another suitable ultra-luxury sedan, we suggest checking out the Bentley Bentayga SUV. Like the Flying Spur, the Bentayga is considerably less expensive than the Ghost and can be personalized to your heart's content. You also get the same level of craftsmanship and prestige, but as an added bonus, the Bentayga has some legitimate off-road abilities.
