Whether you come from old money or are new to the world of high net worth, the 2025 Rolls-Royce Ghost just might be what you need. This large sedan—made even larger in stretched Extended form—oozes private-club-level curb appeal. It is swathed in the automotive world’s best interior materials and finishes. The cabin pampers occupants with thickly piled carpets, buttery-smooth leather, intricately stitched embroidery, open-pore wood detailing, and metal trim so finely polished it looks like fine art. The car’s peerless ride is enhanced by a camera system that scans the road ahead for imperfections and a GPS system that informs the transmission of the best gearing for upcoming curves. The Ghost can hustle too.
With a V-12 engine driving all four wheels, Rolls-Royce says it can hit 60 mph in as little as 4.6 seconds. We’ve driven several versions of the Ghost and we think that number is fairly conservative, as the engine provides what seems like endless, seamless, effortless power. The Ghost is at its best when driven gently though, smoothly shuttling VIPs in the utmost comfort. Like its siblings—the Cullinan, Phantom, and Spectre—acquiring a Ghost requires a significant investment, but if you’re capable of becoming a member of Rolls-Royce’s clientele, the cost is likely a trifling sum—and worth every cent.
Rolls-Royce has given the Ghost a stylish refresh for 2025, complete with smoother sheetmetal, updated lighting elements, a revised grille, and new wheel designs. The interior has received improved tech. The dashboard features a new glass panel that runs from A-pillar to A-pillar and houses infotainment and gauge displays as well as a digital art gallery. The infotainment system now offers an integrated app called Whispers that lets the driver send navigation itineraries directly to the system from their mobile device and manage the Ghost’s location and controls such as the door locks remotely.
The Ghost’s rear-seat entertainment system has similarly been upgraded and now supports two different streaming devices simultaneously so your passengers don’t have to agree on what content to enjoy while being chauffeured. Speaking of enjoyment, Rolls-Royce says it consulted with a master wine sommelier to help update the Ghost’s optional Champagne cooler, which can now be set to chill at either 43 or 52 degrees Fahrenheit depending on whether it’s carrying vintage or non-vintage bottles of bubbly. Updated interior materials, including Grey Stained Ash wood trim and woven twill upholstery, are also now available.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance The Ghost is powered by a velvety 563-hp 6.7-liter V-12 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. 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.
0–60-MPH Times: 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. We have sampled two different Ghosts with this powertrain, including a top-spec Black Badge model, and we estimate it’s even quicker than Rolls-Royce suggests.
| Acceleration : | 0-60mph: 4,8 secs |
| Curb Weight : | 5,490lbs |
| Top Speed : | 155mph |

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 Ghost’s is opulent, with every surface, knob, switch, and lever crafted from quality materials. Think thick carpet, finely grained leather, rich wood, and metal accents; you can even order a headliner with tiny LEDs integrated into it that simulates a starlit sky. An illuminated dashboard panel 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: Housed within a single glass panel that stretches the entirety of the Ghost’s dashboard is a digital gauge display, a large infotainment screen, and a digital art gallery. All models come with a Wi-Fi hotspot, in-dash navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. A dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system allows passengers to adjust the radio, input destinations into the nav, and more. Streaming content is also a possibility via a Bluetooth connection, and rear-seat passengers can connect two different devices so each can watch their preferred shows and movies on their display screens. Rolls-Royce also supplies an 18-speaker Bespoke stereo system with 1400 watts of power.
