Car and Driver
Car and Driver’s evaluation of the Rolls-Royce Ghost centers on how this 'post-opulent' sedan balances the brand’s traditional serenity with modern technology. Despite sharing architecture with the BMW 7-series, the Ghost feels unique—its 6.6-liter V12 is almost silent, and the ride is like a 'magic carpet.' The styling is restrained by Rolls-Royce standards, with a clean front and subtle LED headlights. Inside, the materials are flawless, with the Starlight headliner and optional rear recliner seats placing the Ghost in a different league from any Bentley. The driving dynamics are surprisingly capable, dispatching corners with calm authority, though it remains a car engineered for isolation rather than sportiness. The assessors appreciated the smoothness of the eight-speed automatic and the 'wonderfully effortless' performance. Their only gripes are the Europe-only Black Badge version being too sporty, the cumbersome infotainment controls, and the overwhelming cabin climate. Overall, the Ghost is 'an incredibly relaxing way to traverse great distances,' earning it a rare perfect score for a Rolls-Royce.

Autocar
Autocar’s in-depth road test calls the Ghost 'something close to mechanical perfection,' placing the ride comfort at the top of the luxury car class. The 6.75-liter V12 is 'utterly silent even under hard acceleration, accompanied by a faint, well-stifled growl that never approaches the cabin.' The air suspension uses dual-chamber dampers and a camera system that scans the road surface, making broken tarmac disappear. The steering is light but accurate, and the all-wheel-drive setup ensures sane, composed direction, even on slippery roads. Interior materials—chrome, wood, leather—are the best in the industry, with every switch operating with a market-leading 'chunkiness.' Autocar identifies the main drawbacks as the lack of a truly bespoke coachbuilding option (that’s for Phantom customers) and the rather awkward infotainment graphics that are not as sharp as a Mercedes S-Class’s. But for sheer isolation and status-symbol significance, Autocar says 'nothing on earth feels quite like it.' It’s a benchmark executive cruiser and stands as a tow-heed halo.

Edmunds
Edmunds’ expert review focuses on the Ghost’s role as the 'entry-level' Rolls, but the verdict is that there is nothing entry-level about its price or experience. The supersonic-smooth powertrain and a 'magic carpet' ride make daily commuting feel absurdly charming. The tester notes that the rear-seat accommodations are top-tier, with optional massage and theater screens. The sunroof is huge, and the cabin is completely free of road noise. Edmunds highlights that the updated infotainment system is far from cutting-edge, and the controls may frustrate those accustomed to a modern German flagship, and the Ghost’s sheer width makes parking a chore. Yet the overall presentation is beyond exceptional. 'The Ghost feels like a building that moves,' the reviewer writes, praising its steely body control and liquid ride. While the price is astronomical, the standard of luxury is impossible to overstate, making it the ultimate status symbol and one of the greatest luxury sedans on the market.
