• Lows Uncommunicative brake pedal, big blind spots, price reflects the neighborhood.
• Verdict There’s nothing junior about the entry-level Rolls-Royce sedan, which offers the opulence as the brand is famous for.

What's New for 2023?

Rolls-Royce’s entry-level sedan carries over to 2023 with no significant changes to its styling, equipment, powertrain, or price tag.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The Ghost is the entry-level Rolls, but what an entry. The list of standard and optional equipment is mesmerizing and long, and Rolls-Royce offers a seemingly endless list of additional features and customizations. The only question is how much you're willing to spend.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The Ghost is powered by a 563-hp 6.7-liter V-12 that is shared with the Cullinan SUV ; Black Badge models get a boost in power to 592 hp. An eight-speed automatic handles shifting duties, and all-wheel drive is standard. According to Rolls-Royce, the Ghost is capable of hitting 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, and we're looking forward to verifying that claim at our test track. Rolls-Royce also boasts that the Ghost offers sharp handling, pointing to its all-wheel-steering system and 50/50 weight distribution as evidence that driving satisfaction played a significant role in the car's development. The Ghost provides a peerless ride thanks to its standard adaptive suspension, which employs a road-scanning camera to help the vehicle anticipate and compensate for potholes. Of course.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The EPA estimates that the Ghost will return 12 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. Once we get a chance, we'll put the Ghost through our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test and update this story with the results. For more information about the Ghost's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website .

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Like the cabin of any Rolls-Royce, the new Ghost’s is opulent, with every surface, knob, switch, and lever crafted from quality materials. Think thick carpet, finely grained leather, real wood and metal accents, and even an available headliner with tiny integrated LEDs to simulate a starlit sky. An illuminated dashboard inlay glows when the driver turns on the Ghost, adding to the starry-night ambiance. Rear-seat passengers are treated to such luxuries as massaging seats, an entertainment system, and acres of legroom. It’s nothing less than expected for a car in the same class as the Bentley Flying Spur and the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-class.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Along with providing a Wi-Fi hotspot, the Ghost features a large infotainment touchscreen with in-dash navigation. It also includes both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces. A dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system allows passengers to adjust the radio, input destinations into the nav, and more. Rolls-Royce also supplies an 18-speaker Bespoke stereo system with 1300 watts of power and magnesium-ceramic speaker cones.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Rolls-Royce offers a host of driver-assistance features as standard on the Ghost, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. For more information about the Ghost's crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ( IIHS ) websites. Key safety features include:

• Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
• Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
• Standard adaptive cruise control

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Like the rest of the Rolls-Royce lineup, the Ghost comes with a four-year warranty and maintenance package, which doesn't expire at a certain mileage limit.

• Limited warranty covers four years or unlimited miles
• Powertrain warranty covers four years or unlimited miles
• Complimentary maintenance is covered for four years or unlimited miles

2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost Review

• Luxury only a Rolls-Royce can offer
• Supple ride at all speeds
• Ample thrust from 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12
• Infinitely customizable
• Interior doesn't offer quite the space you'd expect of a large car
• Prohibitively expensive

What's new

• The Ghost is unchanged for 2023
• Part of the second Ghost generation introduced for 2021

The 2023 Ghost serves as the entry point into the Rolls-Royce brand. Smaller in size and more contemporary in design than the legendary Phantom, the Ghost is aimed at a younger, though still fabulously wealthy, clientele. The Ghost offers insane levels of craftsmanship and customization possibilities befitting a Rolls-Royce. It can also be had in a more sporting model, the Black Badge version, and is offered with an extended-wheelbase version for increased rear passenger legroom.

Cost to Drive Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost 4dr Sedan AWD (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 $4.52 per gallon for premium unleaded in North Dakota.

Edmunds' spotlight: luxury and power.

Any fear of the Ghost being anything other than a full-blooded Rolls-Royce should be laid to rest. The 2023 Ghost can be customized to your heart's content (or your bank account's balance) with all manner of paint combinations, an endless array of leather upholstery options, and features including a stainless steel hood, plush wool carpets, wood trim and even monogrammed headrests. The Ghost doesn't skimp on power either. Under the hood is the same 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine as you find in the larger Phantom and Cullinan SUV. That means the Ghost has the same 563 horsepower (592 hp for the Black Badge model) but with less weight to slow it down.

Competitors to consider

The only other vehicle not made by Rolls-Royce that comes close to offering the traditional luxury and extent of personalization as the Ghost is the Bentley Flying Spur. If a more modern interpretation of luxury is what you're after, the BMW 760i and Mercedes-Maybach S-Class are both brimming with technology and offer a slightly more low-key approach to ostentatious luxury.

Which Ghost does Edmunds recommend?

To make the most of the Ghost's smaller size (relative to other Rolls-Royce vehicles) and more dynamic styling, we'd commission ours in the Black Badge specification. That gets you additional power from the twin-turbo V12 as well as carbon composite wheels, blacked-out exterior trim, a sport-tuned suspension and a slightly louder exhaust.

Rolls-Royce Ghost models

Almost every aspect of the Ghost can be built to suit, so customization options are essentially limitless. Standard features include:

Ghost Includes all the trappings you find on most high-end luxury vehicles, including:

• Rear-wheel steering
• Adaptive air suspension
• 21-inch wheels
• Laser headlights
• Electronically retracting hood ornament
• Power-closing doors
• Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
• Full leather upholstery
• Heated steering wheel
• Heated and ventilated front seats with massage
• Laminated glass for extra sound and heat insulation
• Panoramic sunroof
• Adaptive cruise control
• Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
• Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
• Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
• Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

Extended Wheelbase Includes all the standard features of the Ghost but features a longer wheelbase that adds nearly 7 inches of rear legroom.

Black Badge Boosts engine output, sharpens the handling, and changes the look of the standard Ghost with:

• 21-inch carbon composite wheels
• Blacked-out exterior trim
• Sport-tuned suspension
• Black-painted brake calipers
• Special carbon-fiber interior trim

Is a car that costs more than a house really better than the average luxury sedan? We drive the 2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost to find out.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge is what happens when the luxury automotive giant sets its sights firmly on younger buyers.  These buyers want the best, but want it to be subtle. At least as subtle as a 12-cylinder 600-horsepower sedan the size of a Chevrolet Tahoe can be. And even then, that subtlety applies only on the outside.

Think of the average Roller owner and you’re probably thinking of someone like Thurston Howell III (if you’re older than 50), or maybe Bill Gates (if you’re younger). The actual Rolls-Royce buyer, though, is far younger. Younger than a BMW or Mini shopper, and even younger than Mazda or Volkswagen. The age we heard from Rolls-Royce PR people put Rolls buyers in their 20s and 30s.

Back in the day, it was your typical multigenerational, high-wealth client buying such a vehicle. Today a Rolls-Royce is the car of choice for musicians, athletes, and tech startup winners who are ready to show off. But only a little bit. That younger demographic actually explains a lot about how Rolls can do what it does inside of its vehicles.

2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost: Luxury Intelligence Unit

To keep up with what ultra-lux buyers want, Rolls has what it calls the Luxury Intelligence Unit. No, that’s not a “Law & Order” series you missed. It’s the group that tries to keep up on changing trends within its buyer group. These days it’s saying the trends are bold in design, assertive in character, and dark in trim.

Black Badge means dark chrome trim replaces the brightwork of a standard Ghost. The dark-mirror gloss comes from a special electrolyte used in the chrome process. You won’t find mere paint or tinted clearcoat at work in a vehicle like this.

It also means carbon fiber wheels: not the wheel face, but the barrel, where 22 layers of carbon fiber sheet are folded over to make the 44-layer-thick wheels.

44,000 Paint Color Options

There are other highlights of the Black Badge spec, but because this is a Rolls, most of them aren’t mandatory. A key part of this car is the ability of the owner to make every piece unique. From choosing one of 44,000 paint colors to picking your umbrella handle color to getting whatever text you want on the illuminated sill plates. This makes us wonder how many Rolls dealers have had to try and talk a customer out of a cryptocurrency reference that was dated before the car hit the showroom.

The only other mandated accent is the Lemniscate. We would call the icon the infinity symbol, and it glows in the dash with 152 LED lights. A light guide has 90,000 laser-etched dots to make sure the illumination is dispersed evenly.

Black Badge Means a 591-Horse V12

OK, there is one other Black Badge perk, and you’ll find it under the extremely long bonnet. Rolls-Royce has tweaked the 6.75L V12 engine to make 591 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque. The company used to simply say its power figures were “sufficient” — which makes this one more than sufficient.

Most Ghost Black Badge buyers pick the company’s not-so-basic black paint. One-hundred pounds of paint is atomized and applied to the bodywork to create what the company calls the darkest black in the industry.

The one we drove for this review is Burnout Grey. A $15,900 option, it’s set off by the $2,575 purple pinstripe that’s a recurring theme on the car both inside and out.

A buyer could spend hours or even days at their Rolls showroom picking through the different options for interior colors and options. There are dozens of different shades of hide, more choices of wood than your local forest, and then the really special stuff they don’t even really tell us about.

Rolls-Royce Ghost on the Road

But what is it actually like? Depending on what vehicle you’re coming from, it’s either the most amazing automotive experience in the world or surprisingly average.

Get behind the wheel and the Rolls-Royce Ghost is like nothing else. It has a sense of presence, even just walking up to it, that’s unmatchable. Thanks to its massive size, it looks larger than life. If you told me it was double the size of the BMW 7 Series I had driven earlier in the day, I would have no trouble believing you, even though they’re nearly the same.

The controls are a mix of delicate and perpetual. The gear lever, for example, is like a champagne flute in its delicateness. Grab it as you would in an F-150 and it would likely snap off, shocked that you would treat it in such a fashion. Immediately beside it, though, sits one of the several organ stop vent closure controls. Hewn from solid metal, these parts feel as though they could survive centuries at their given task.

Rolls is strange with its use of tech in the Ghost Black Badge. The company says its buyers don’t want fancy driver aids, so it has only the basics. It does have parking sensors — we expected a harbor pilot instead — and other key assists, but you won’t take your hands off the wheel anytime soon.

We thought that was because Rolls-Royce owners already had autonomous driving in the form of a chauffeur. But no, we’re told most of these cars are driven by their owners.

The 12.3-inch screen also looks out of place with its graphics and operation a generation old. It does enjoy a suitably British accent when it addresses you, of course.

Power Reserve Shows What You’re Not Using

Inside the fully digital dash is a gauge that tells you your power reserve: how much of your V12’s output you aren’t currently using. Keep the gauge above about 75 and you will hear nothing at all from the engine bay. The Rolls wafts forward at an increasing rate of speed.

Press harder and move the gauge past 75% and the V12 comes alive. We hadn’t expected this much sound or fury from the Ghost, but 591 horsepower is enough to move even this heavy sedan at a very brisk pace.

There is a bellow from the engine and exhaust telling you it is a fancy bellow and not some pedestrian V8. I expected it to be more silent, but part of Black Badge is a louder exhaust system.

The Ultimate in Suspension Comfort?

I expected the Ghost to waft over any potholes or bumps without ever notifying the driver; for example, to jump railroad tracks with little more than a slight clearing of its throat. So it’s with those high expectations in mind that I say the Rolls was not capable of those feats of silence. I’ll compare it again to the 7 Series, which was as quiet and as composed on the streets and highways around Palm Springs.

What the 7 doesn’t do that the Ghost does, however, is move people out of the left lane. That upright grille and the road presence of this car is unmistakable. It says, “I’m willing to take a sum that would buy a beach house and throw it down an interstate. I don’t care and you will get out of my way” like nothing else can.

Cramped Cabin for Massive Car

Despite its size, the Ghost is not a massive car inside. It feels narrow, with rear seat passengers quite close to (in my case, sandwiched against) the door panels. The multi-adjustable rear seats were comfortable, but, again, not more than those in the 7. What it offers instead are tremendous appointments including folding tables, televisions (calling them TVs in here seems inadequate), footrests, and the Black Badge’s lovely carbon fiber and metal diamond weave trim.

The floor mats and carpets are everything you have imagined. Made from lambswool and inches deep, driving barefoot seems like an everyday decision to make.

2023 Rolls-Royce Ghost: First Drive Summary

So then, what are these masters of music, code, and sport getting for their money? Exclusivity, yes, since Rolls makes only around 5,000 vehicles per year, but there is more than that. There has to be to justify the $437,350 base price of this Black Badge ($492,250, with the options shown here).

Owners of this car are getting a level of personalization that isn’t available anywhere else in the auto industry. What other brand could give you Tailored Purple insets for the door pockets and matching contrast stitching? Or the ability to have three different exterior colors at the same time with your choice of hand-lined pinstripes in yet another shade? Or even the ability to have a starlight headliner with a sky matching your birthday, anniversary, or any other date that’s important to you? Maybe Bentley could, but they’re no Rolls-Royce.

Rolls will even give buyers the opportunity to visit its Goodwood, U.K., head office and explore an entire salon dedicated to making each car exactly to the buyer’s specification.
