Pros

Peerless interior design and materials quality
Massively powerful V12
Seemingly infinite customization options

Cons

At this size, tight parking lots are not the Phantom's friend
Costs more than a house

What's new

New illuminated front grille and optional dark exterior trim
Interior updated with new available materials and a thicker steering wheel
Part of the eighth Phantom generation introduced for 2018

Overview

Even in the rarefied air of ultra-luxury vehicles, the Rolls-Royce Phantom enjoys an even more elevated status given its perch atop the Rolls-Royce lineup. And for 2023, the apex predator of this class gets a slight refresh that tweaks its styling inside and out and gives it even more customization options that folks spending a cool half a million bucks on a mode of transportation have come to expect.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Rolls-Royce Phantom 4dr Sedan (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 $4.45 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Rolls-Royce doesn't call these changes a refresh like other automakers; instead it calls the update "a new expression'' for the Phantom. That means a tweaked face with new headlights and daytime running lights, while the Pantheon grille gets some illuminated details. Instead of bright chrome around the vehicle, there's now an option for darkened trim pieces for the windshield, side windows, and grille surround that better match dark paint. Two new wheel designs also debut: a seven-spoke wheel with a milled stainless steel finish and a disc wheel inspired by Rolls-Royce vehicles from the 1920s.

Inside, the steering wheel has been thickened slightly to increase its connection to the driver (though we guess many owners don't do the driving), and the back seat now offers fabric options. The dashboard clock also gets a new surrounding ceramic trim piece that is 3D-printed.

Power still comes from a twin-turbo V12 that makes 563 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, plenty of power to easily move this luxury sedan behemoth.

Which Phantom does Edmunds recommend?

There isn't a trim we'd recommend, though, because the Phantom doesn't offer trim levels. Instead, there's a choice of the standard or the extended-wheelbase Phantom (EWB). Our preference is for the EWB model because it offers the most opulence and is the one that's most suitable if you plan to buy a Phantom to be driven in, instead of drive.

Rolls-Royce Phantom models

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is offered in two variants: the standard Phantom and the extended-wheelbase version, the EWB. Both are powered by a turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 engine (563 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque). An eight-speed transmission sends power to the rear wheels.

The standard Phantom and EWB models are appointed with the same features. These include:

21-inch wheels
Adaptive air suspension that adjusts to road conditions
Power-closing doors with concealed umbrellas
Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
Leather headliner with starlight-like illumination
Heated and ventilated front seats with massage functions
Rear bench seat
10.25-inch central display
Digital instrument cluster
Navigation system
Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
16-speaker audio system
Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Phantom and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
A suite of advanced driver aids:

Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
Blind-spot warning system (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

Packaged options include:

Driver Assistance Systems package (standard on the EWB model)

Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
Night vision (displays an infrared image of the area in front of the vehicle to assist while driving at night)

Rear Theatre Configuration

Two rear electronically deployable 12-inch screens

Phantom package includes the Driver Assistance Systems package, plus:

22-inch wheels
Rear elevating footrests
Rear seat curtains
Wider outboard seats
Rolls-Royce monograms on all headrests

The Phantom also offers several types of wood for veneer and Canadel paneling. Veneers can be extended to other parts of the interior. There is also a choice of Gallery (dashboard) design, clock design, doorsill engraving and trunk interior color.

Besides the bespoke options offered, the many stand-alone options include:

Solid silver, gold-plated or carbon-fiber Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament
Ventilated and massaging rear seats
Two rear fold-out tables
Rear elevating footrests
Lambswool floor mats
Embossed headrests
Rear cooler with two Champagne flutes
18-speaker audio system
Rear headrest cushions
Shooting star headliner
Phantom Suite (limousine-like separate rear cabin with electrochromic privacy glass and an intercom system)

Tire Problems

2019 Rolls-Royce Phantom 4dr Sedan (6.7L 12cyl Turbo 8A)

I have had a 2019 phantom since the beginning of April and the car has been in the shop at least 3 times because of vibrations coming from the wheels and tires. The last time it was in the shop for 3 weeks! Other than that I really like the car. I think that the customer service of rolls royce is not that great.

This car is amazing

2019 Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB 4dr Sedan (6.7L 12cyl Turbo 8A)

I have owned this car for a few months and I have loved every moment in it. It looks absolutely amazing and I love it so much. The performance is what you would expect from a 5,000 pound car.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2023 Rolls-Royce Phantom, so we've included reviews for other years of the Phantom since its last redesign.

Rolls-Royce Phantom vs. Bentley Flying Spur

The Flying Spur is a fantastic Phantom alternative for those who don't need the most expensive and most customizable mega luxury sedan there is. Like the Phantom, it packs a powerful turbocharged 12-cylinder engine and is adorned with some of the most luxurious features on the market. The Flying Spur is also very exclusive and highly customizable. A new hybrid engine is now offered for owners who want to visit the gas pump less frequently.

Rolls-Royce Phantom vs. Mercedes-Benz Maybach

The Maybach S-Class doesn't quite have the opulence of the Phantom, but it's still remarkably lavish and will impress just about anyone who sees it. Though it's less exclusive than the Phantom, it will still turn plenty of heads wherever it drives and is loaded with more luxury and comfort than 99% of vehicles on the road.

Rolls-Royce Phantom vs. Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The Cullinan is Rolls-Royce's only SUV and a high-riding alternative to the Phantom, and it offers many of the same features and customization found in the sedan. There isn't an extended-wheelbase version of the Cullinan, however, meaning you can't get it with the rear legroom and executive feeling offered in the Phantom. But since it's an SUV, the Cullinan has the ability to tow a trailer and do some light off-roading that the Phantom would sneer at.

2023 Rolls-Royce Phantom First Impressions

byNick Yekikian

•6/14/2022

What is the Phantom?

Ah, the Phantom. If you were to ask Rolls-Royce to describe its flagship luxury sedan, it'd be reluctant to even admit it's a car. To it, the Phantom "occupies an unrivaled position at the very apex of the luxury world." To Rolls, it is the ultimate expression of opulence in the pantheon of all things resplendent, powerful, awe-inspiring and breathtaking. Its Phantom is a totem of luxury to help deliver oligarchs to their mega yachts and ride high through the plebeian crowds in pure sumptuous grandeur. We appreciate the automaker's commitment to humility and objectivity. To the rest of us, however, the Phantom is just a really, really nice car.

For 2023, the Phantom is getting what most automakers refer to as a refresh. But, Rolls-Royce being what it is, says the Phantom is getting "a new expression" and that it wasn't so much a question of changing the Phantom as it was about keeping it perfect. Right. Anyway, the refresh brings with it a number of small changes to the exterior looks and adds some new interior materials.

Let's start with the exterior. The headlights get a redo and the daytime running lights now feature a starlight pattern, and the pantheon grille is now illuminated — a very BMW characteristic that's been carried over to its luxury sub-brand. There is now the option for darkened exterior trim around the windshield, side windows and grille surround. Phantom buyers, rejoice: You no longer have to settle for chintzy chrome. There are also two new wheel designs. The first one is a seven-spoke unit with a milled stainless steel finish and the other is a disc wheel that's been inspired by Rollers of the 1920s.

Inside there is a slightly thicker steering wheel and the passenger area can now be had in something other than bull hide. One new choice for the rear seat material is a combination of bamboo fibers and cotton, with real leather up front. Meanwhile, the Rolls-Royce clock in the dashboard is now surrounded by a 3D-printed ceramic finish.

There are no mechanical changes to the Phantom for 2023, so the twin-turbo V12 under the hood still makes 563 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. It's also probably still so silky smooth you can stand a penny up on it as it fires into life, and the coin won't fall over.

Edmunds says

For all its pretense, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is a fantastic motorcar. It really is the pinnacle of luxury cars, and if you can afford the $460,000 asking price and need a truly luxurious way to waft about, why would you consider anything else?
