Overview

Competing in the fullsize sedan segment, the 2015 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan is a direct competitor to the Mercedes-Benz Maybach Sedan, the Bentley Flying Spur V8 Sedan, and the Maserati Quattroporte GTS sedan. Keep in mind that all these rival models cost significantly less and have the higher horsepower. The Rolls-Royce Phantom starts off at an MSRP of $407,400, going all up to $480,175, 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

There is only one difference between the standard Phantom and the extended-wheelbase model, and that is the extra legroom in the back. Despite this, buyers who are considering such an expensive vehicle aren't likely to be discouraged. If you spend more time being chauffeured than driving, make sure you order the massage and ventilation rear seats regardless of the trim level.
