While other vehicles debuting at the Geneva Motor Show are fighting to capture the public’s attention using all sorts of in-your-face developments, there’s one car that sits calmly and lets people come to it: the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The Phantom range (the standard and the extended wheelbase sedans, the Coupe, as well as the Drophead Coupe) has received a facelift, with this being the first important refresh since the model was introduced on the market - the sedan came in 2003, while the convertible and the coupe came in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
However, the refresh brings minor tweaks for exterior, interior and tech sides of the vehicles. The revamped models can be distinguished by their redesigned fascias (both the front and the rear come with new lower elements) LED headlights, while the round light clusters under the headlights have been replaced with a set of strips.
Climbing inside, we find a larger display that measures 8.8-inches, as well as a new satnav that brings goodies such as 3D maps with terrain details, as well as an update all-round camera system. As for the tech side, the V12 powerplant has had its CO2 emissions reduced from 388 g/km to 347 g/km, thanks to the introduction of a new eight-speed transmission and a fresh rear differential.
