Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II 2020 Review

Stately, elegant and fitted with some of the most lavish interior decor you'll find in an automobile, the 2020 Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II is a serious sight to behold. At nearly 18 feet in length, this ultra-luxury sedan is one of the longest vehicles on the road — and that's just the standard version. The extended-wheelbase version of the Ghost stretches almost 7 more inches.

The Ghost's interior is, as you'd expect, magnificent. There is nearly flawless build quality everywhere you look and there are a number of exclusive features to choose from. There's an optional refrigerator for your Champagne flutes, for example, or foldout picnic tables. Not impressed? How about a Starlight LED headliner or personalized monogrammed headrests?

Given this, it's understandable then that the Ghost is one of the most expensive vehicles on the road. But in the immortal words of Ferris Bueller: If you have the means, we highly recommend picking one up.

Which Ghost Series II does MatoCar recommend?

The 2020 Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II is a five-passenger luxury sedan offered in standard-wheelbase Ghost (SWB) or Ghost Extended Wheelbase (EWB) versions. The EWB adds almost 7 inches between front and rear wheels for more rear passenger space. Both models are powered by a turbocharged 6.6-liter V12 (563 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque). Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that uses satellite data to help determine gear selection. The long list of standard features for the Ghost includes:

• Adaptive LED headlights
• Panoramic sunroof
• Air suspension
• Power-closing rear doors

Inside you'll find:

• Full leather upholstery on seats, door and instrument panels, and center console
• Massaging front seats
• Wi-Fi, a navigation system and a 10.3-inch display

The EWB Ghost ratchets up the luxury level with massaging rear seats and upgraded infotainment features.

A special Black Badge subtrim adds:

• A black trim treatment inside and out (even the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament gets the dark chrome treatment)
• Special steering and suspension tuning
• An increase in power to 603 hp and 620 lb-ft of torque

There are several option packages and seemingly endless ways to personalize your Ghost, including (but not limited to):

• Lambswool floor mats
• Duck-feather cushions
• Monogram-stitched headrests
• Massage and ventilation functions for the rear seats
• LED-infused headliner
• Rear seat cooler specifically designed for two Champagne bottles and Champagne flutes
• Foldout tables for the rear seats
