Rolls-Royce Phantom Mileage

Here are the factors that affect Rolls-Ryce Phantom mileage:

• Engine Type: The Rolls-Royce Phantom is powered by a massive 6.75L V12 petrol engine. It produces an impressive 563 bhp and 900 Nm of torque. While this engine delivers unmatched performance, its high output affects fuel economy, offering an average mileage of 9.8 km/l.

• Boot Space: It offers a boot space of 460  litres to keep your luggage.

• Tyres and Wheels: The Phantom rides on 21-inch alloy wheels with high-performance tyres. Larger tyres provide better stability and a smoother ride but can also contribute to increased rolling resistance, which impacts mileage. The more friction generated, the more fuel the engine consumes.

• Transmission: The Phantom uses an 8-speed automatic transmission with satellite-aided technology that adjusts gear shifts based on GPS data. This system improves performance but may affect mileage slightly, especially in urban driving, where frequent shifts increase fuel consumption. The transmission's gear ratio ranges help balance power and efficiency but are optimised for smoothness rather than fuel economy.

• Dimensions: The Phantom’s dimensions further affect its aerodynamics and mileage. The vehicle measures 5,762 mm in length for the standard variant and 5,982 mm for the extended wheelbase, contributing to its 2,018 mm width and 1,646 mm height. While providing a commanding presence, the larger size increases air resistance, especially at higher speeds, affecting fuel efficiency.

• Fuel Tank Capacity: The Phantom's fuel tank capacity is 100 litres, which supports its long-distance travel capability. However, the large tank size and the vehicle's weight mean the engine consumes more fuel over longer distances, particularly on city roads.
