Used 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom is a large ultra-luxury sedan with a seemingly infinite number of ways to be tailored to the buyer's whims. Two versions are available — the standard Phantom and a roomier extended wheelbase (EWB) that adds roughly 9 inches of legroom. Regardless of body style, the Phantom is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 producing a healthy 563 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. It transmits power to all four wheels via an 8-speed transmission that uses the navigation system to change gears based on upcoming road conditions.

Both Phantom models come with the same set of features. Every Phantom comes with 21-inch wheels, laser headlights, a road-reading adaptive air suspension, power-closing doors (with umbrellas inside), leather headliner, heated and ventilated front massaging seats, a navigation system, a 10.25-inch central display, a head-up display, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a 16-speaker audio system, and the Starlight headliner that incorporates hundreds of LEDs to resemble the night sky. Standard safety features include a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, lane departure warning, a blind-spot monitor, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection.

Stand-alone options include a modified Spirit of Ecstasy ornament (solid silver, gold-plated, or illuminated), 22-inch wheels, ventilated and massaging rear seats, rear footrests, lambswool floor mats, a rear cooler with two champagne flutes and an 18-speaker audio system. Rear bench seating is standard, though you can also specify wider outboard seats or ditch the middle seat altogether for a four-seat configuration. Both of these choices add massaging rear seats. There are also a couple significant packages, including the Driver Assistance Systems package (adaptive cruise control and night vision) and the Phantom package (22-inch wheels, dual rear entertainment display screens, the wider outboard seats, the Driver Assistance Systems package, and "RR" monograms on all headrests).

While a standardized list of optional features is all fine and dandy, Rolls-Royce prides itself in offering custom enhancements tailored to the buyer. Though a wealth of exotic woods are available, Rolls-Royce has, in the past, made bespoke veneers from an individual, customer-selected tree. You can also ask Rolls to engrave custom designs in the veneer for a truly personalized look.

Rolls-Royce has also gone off script with leather choices in the past — pick an animal, and Rolls can probably make upholstery out of it (within legal confines, of course). Want an exact match of the constellations in the night sky the day you proposed to your spouse? Rolls will do that too. Personalized treadplates, embossed headrests and hand-painted coachlines, contrasting color lines that run the length of the vehicle, are also available. The only limit is your imagination and the size of your pocketbook.

Which Phantom trim does Edmunds recommend?

Tens of thousands of dollars separate the standard Phantom from the extended-wheelbase model, and the only difference is the extra rear legroom. But buyers considering a vehicle this expensive aren't likely to be dissuaded by the additional cost. Most of the options center around driver customization, though we're enamored with the alternate Gallery designs. Make sure to specify the massaging and ventilated rear seats, especially if you spend more time being chauffeured than driving.
