2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedan: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan is expected to see few changes after receiving a minor front-end facelift for 2009. Regular- and Extended-Wheelbase versions will likely continue; the latter adds 10 inches of wheelbase and overall length. Both seat five and have unique rear-hinged rear doors; a four-passenger configuration with rear center console is optional. The only powertrain is a 453-hp 6.75-liter V12 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Available safety equipment includes ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. It's expected that the current extensive list of standard and optional features will continue to be offered, as will Rolls-Royce's Bespoke program, which allows buyers to custom order colors and interior materials. This evaluation of the Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan and Phantom Extended-Wheelbase sedan is based on preview test drives of 2009 models.
