Overview

2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost

The 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost offers unparalleled luxury and a commanding presence, even on the used market. This four-door sedan prioritizes comfort and refinement, powered by a potent 6.7-liter V12 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. While its EPA ratings of 12 mpg city and 19 mpg highway translate to high fuel costs, the Ghost remains a statement of automotive excellence.

Critical Failure Risk

A recall addresses a potential issue where the instrument cluster glass could break in a crash scenario, posing a risk of fragmentation. While the recall remedy involves applying a protective coating, the underlying structural integrity under extreme impact remains a consideration.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
