Overview

Competing in the fullsize sedan segment, the 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan is a direct competitor to the Bentley Flying Spur and some less-expensive competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz AMG S65 Sedan and the Porsche Panamera Turbo S Sedan. Both these sedans are considerably cheaper and churn out more power than the Phantom. The 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom starts off at an MSRP of $398,970, going all up to $470,295, with 2 trims in the lineup. Each trim is offered with a 6.7L V12 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 453 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the Phantom manages a 0-60 of 5.7 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 14 MPG. 

Buying Advice

The 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan is an ultra-luxurious sedan offered in two trims. Among them, we recommend opting for the more spacious, higher-end EWB trim. The EWB trim offers 9.8 inches of added overall length thus providing more space inside the cabin.
