2020 Rolls-Royce Phantom

There is no comparing the Rolls-Royce Phantom to any other car, because there simply is no real comparison. Therefore, it has to be judged on its merits alone. The only real deterrent is the buy-in, but at nearly $500,000, that's a pretty big obstacle to overcome. If you somehow manage to get behind the wheel of one of these beauties, you won't be disappointed. The Phantom is velvety smooth on the road, and it has plenty of power for getting around. However, it's not a particularly engaging driver, though it has improved over the years. Like many a Rolls, this is a car to be driven in. The back seat is a place of pure luxury and pampering. There is loads of room, heating, massaging, and infotainment screens.

Nobody would dare crash one of these absurdly expensive machines, so there is no safety rating or safety review of the 2020 Rolls-Royce Phantom. That said, it comes with every possible advanced driving aid, and the increased rigidity of the body should make it quite durable. While we would never suggest blowing half a mil on a car, no matter how much we may love them, if you really wanted to, it would be money well-spent.

While there may be a singular Phantom model on sale in the USA, the eighth generation is easily the most impressive to date, and it can be customized in almost endless ways. Since it makes the most sense as a car to be chauffeured in, the extended-wheelbase version is hard to pass up. This supplies the most passenger space so you can really enjoy those fancy gadgets like the infotainment tablets and reclining massage chairs. If you really want to make an impression, though, the personalized illuminated treadplates are definitely an option. But, keep in mind that the price of the 2020 Rolls-Royce Phantom starts at around $500k, so ticking too many boxes on the options list is likely to whittle down the kids' trust fund quite easily.
