2020 Rolls-Royce Phantom

The 2020 Rolls-Royce Phantom is a large, stately ultra-luxury sedan that seats five people. It’s a car with top brand status meant for the very wealthy — particularly those who are chauffeured.

The Phantom is the epitome of luxury. It’s formally styled, with clamshell-opening doors, and elegantly cast inside, with extensive avenues for customization. As tradition dictates, its bold front grille is topped by a “Spirit of Ecstasy” hood ornament. The rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Phantom comes in standard and extended-wheelbase models, which add space in the backseat. It’s powered by a 563-horsepower twin-turbocharged V12 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which is more than enough to get this big, heavy ride up to highway speeds effortlessly.

• Mercedes-Maybach S 680 4Matic: Top S-Class sedan is super sumptuous, with V12 power.

• Tesla Model S: The bargain of this group, it’s a full-electric sedan that’s quicker than most sports cars, with futuristic luxury.

Should I Buy an Older Rolls-Royce Phantom Instead?

The present-generation Phantom was introduced for the 2018 model year. Like most cars in its class, it changes little from one model year to the next, so a used Phantom can be a more-affordable alternative to a new model for wealthy bargain hunters.
