When we talk about luxury, especially vehicles, people usually consider coupés to be the elite kind. But what about sedans? They can be magnificent too. Just because they’re a little elaborate in build and can carry a family doesn’t mean they’re not lavish enough or don’t have the right to star in top-notch Hollywood movies. Sedans are a great option if you’ve got a gang of friends who love to have midnight car-jam sessions in style and luxury. Plus, it’s better to go for sedans since they are spacious, and you can benefit most from them compared to coupés.
If you’re thinking about investing in a high-end sedan right now but want to go for a slightly cheaper option, we would suggest you skip the Lexus and Mercedes and go for the Rolls Royce. Not only does Rolls Royce have the best sedans, but it also comes in quite affordable as compared to other luxurious car brands. Another reason to like Rolls Royce is that it will soon be launching its 2022 sedan model by the name Ghost in April. The about to launch Rolls Royce Ghost has been hyped enough in the market that you can’t wait for its launch to examine the baby, and if you’re making up your mind to make a purchase, then you surely need details about its features and stuff. So here we are with all the particular facts that can help you decide whether this car is worth the hype or not; stay tuned till the end to read our final verdict.
1. Ghost Interior:
Having a cozy and comfortable yet chic interior is mandatory in every car. You can say it’s as important as the car’s exterior because at times you have to travel for long hours, so you should never compromise on comfort. Understanding this consumer psychology, elite brands like Rolls Royce focus extra on interior design. Like the Ghost’s updated and upgraded interior features, which has every nook and corner covered in premium quality leather (except for the aluminum covered parts). The softly padded leather is what makes the seats super-comfy and breathable. The rear row is covered with lambswool carpet, making the bottom a cushion-like base and a treat for your feet.
The Ghost comes with a huge variety of color themes that you can choose from as the base of your interior. Not to forget, the starlit design of the dashboard contains touch buttons and dials within hand reach. The dashboard has entertainment gear that fits perfectly within the eye-view of the front seats. As for the rear seats, there are two LED screens and a pop-out table at the end of a button push.
2. Engine Performance:
A car is nothing without its engine. Luckily Rolls Royce keeps its game headstrong when it comes to engine performance. Rolls Royce keeps updating its engine performance with minute upgrades in every model, unlike other cars. The Ghost has been designed with a 6.75L turbo V12. This turbo power makes its speed at an exceptional rate of 563 Horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mechanically connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission to transfer standard power to all four wheels. The high-pitched power is delivered at 500 RPM while also available at low RPMs.
Although the Rolls Royce Ghost is a heavy-weight sedan, its engine never fails to impress us with its speed to hit 60MPH in just 4.6 seconds and the max speed limit to hit 155MPH. Apart from the engine, the steering is quite sharp and has equal weight distribution to all four wheels. The steering responds to the inputs in almost no time, making it stunning. The Ghost has a 21.8-gallon fuel tank that will do well for 261/414/305 miles without bumping. Lastly, the hidden road scanning camera does wonders when it comes to spotting bumps on the road surface so that you can enjoy a smooth, quality ride without hurdles or bumps of any sort.
3. Ghost Exterior:
Rolls Royce has focused immensely on its exterior engineering and designing for the Ghost. You can spot the work done by them just by flashing a glance over the beauty. They’ve kept the exterior in between modern and vintage. Neither is it too modern nor too old-school. The bumper is given slight curves on each side, making it elaborate and stand out in the front view. While the headlights and the Pantheon grille are of the usual Rolls Royce design and are not redesigned, the suicide side-doors are according to the vintage design. In short, the Ghost is an improved version of the classy Rolls Royce series, with minimal work done on the exterior to enhance its elegance. These exterior upgrades make it a visual example of a classic British vehicle with modern-day touches.
4. Safety Gear:
No fancy interior or exterior can make up for the safety gear of a vehicle. If you’re paying a huge lumps-sum for a car, always make sure it’s safe to travel in. Otherwise, you will regret spending thousands on a car that is no longer in the proper shape or is responsible for your fractured bones. While the Rolls Royce is said to be safe, it hasn’t been tested for safety standards set by the IIHS or the NHTSA, as there is still a lot of time left for its launch date. According to sources, the Ghost has its entire body made up of aluminum, and the frames are very similar to the previous Rolls Royce Cullinan and Rolls Royce Phantom.
Another important update of the Rolls Royce 2022 model is that it has been given some new driver assistance and safety gear. This safety gear includes; Roll stability control, front and rear parking sensors, forward collision warning, front collision warning, backup camera, dual-stage airbags, and assist emergency SOS. It is expected that the Ghost also entails the safety features mentioned above. The Ghost is a reliable substitute for extravagant car labels with such detailed safety gear.
5. Entertainment Features:
Entertainment features are not a top priority for many when it comes to cars, but we suggest that you look at the entertainment gear properly. Since you’re opting for a famous brand, it’s only fair that you pay attention to the slightest of details. When it comes to Rolls Royce, the entertainment features are quite limited compared to other brand names of its competition; however, the Ghost has a few intriguing details that can make up for the previous models. Starting with the infotainment screen, the Ghost has a 10.5 inch BMW IDrive infotainment screen embedded in the dashboard.
The infotainment screen is responsive and works like Siri, so it works on your voice notes. The responsive sensor can be confusing at first but give the manual a thorough read, and you’ll be fine in a few weeks. The screen is also connected with the Navigation system and Apple CarPlay. The rear seats also get two screens with almost the same infotainment screens. Apart from the screens, an 18-speaker Bespoke sound system, Bluetooth, Wifi Hotspot, AM/FM radio, satellite radio, and a 12.5 GB internal memory are also available to contribute towards your entertainment.
Final Verdict:
The new Rolls Royce Ghost is a better option for luxurious cars. If you’re a beginner wanting to get an affordable yet elite (or not) car, then you shouldn’t hesitate in getting the Ghost. Not only is it good-looking, but it also caters to your safety and entertainment, and the next thing you know, you’ll have a grand and gorgeous car in your hands for just a few thousand dollars or, in rare cases, a sold kidney.
