2025 Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II Introduces Minor Facelift, New Materials, and Updated Tech Systems

The 2025 Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II has been unveiled, showcasing a series of subtle but meaningful updates aimed at further enhancing the luxury sedan's appeal. While the car’s overall design remains consistent with the version that debuted in 2020, the British automaker has introduced key changes to the lighting, exterior, and interior, as well as new customisation options. If you're curious about the starting price of the Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II, just remember: if they don't mention it, it's probably because your wallet would pass out from shock. However, it carries a price tag of roughly $355,000 (approx. ₹3 crore) without any modifications but the allotted units, not revealed by the company, are already sold out.

At first glance, the 2025 Ghost Series II may appear largely unchanged, but a closer look reveals several refinements. The front section has been simplified with softened, squared-off corners, allowing for a slightly larger grille. The headlights have been redesigned to be slimmer and now feature updated LED elements. At the rear, the taillights draw inspiration from the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre, with two vertical LED bars adding a modern touch.

Rolls-Royce has also introduced new wheel options, including 22-inch nine-spoke designs. Colour choices are nearly limitless with over 44,000 hues available through the company’s Bespoke program, and a new shade, Mustique Blue, has been added to the already extensive palette.

Inside the design of the 2025 Ghost Series II is largely familiar, with a prominent glass panel that stretches from the driver’s display to the infotainment screen. However, the customisation possibilities have been expanded. Buyers can now personalise the digital gauge colours, though these are not simple pre-sets. Similar to exterior paint options, a specific colour must be selected in advance, and Rolls-Royce’s software team integrates it into the car’s system to ensure exclusivity.

In terms of technology, the Ghost Series II is powered by Rolls-Royce's Spirit software suite. It also integrates Whispers, a proprietary app that allows owners to control various car functions remotely, such as locking or unlocking the doors, sending navigation details, or tracking the vehicle’s location. Rear-seat passengers can now stream content on up to two devices per screen, and the sound system has been upgraded with an 18-speaker, 1,400-watt amplifier.

Rolls-Royce continues to push the boundaries of luxury materials, and the 2025 Ghost introduces two new options- Grey Stained Ash and Duality Twill. This bamboo-based fabric took a year to develop and requires 11 miles of thread and 2.2 million stitches to complete, adding 20 hours to the car’s already intensive build process. 

Underneath the cosmetic and tech updates, the 2025 Ghost Series II retains its performance credentials. The car is still powered by the same 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, producing 555 bhp and paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Rolls-Royce’s proprietary Planar suspension system remains in place, providing the renowned “magic carpet” ride that the brand is known for.

For those seeking more power and a sportier character, the Ghost Series II Black Badge offers a tuned version of the V12, producing 583 bhp. The Black Badge model also receives updated exterior elements, such as dark chrome finishes, carbon fibre details, and new seven-spoke 22-inch wheels. Even the transmission in the Black Badge variant is calibrated for quicker shifts. Again, the price is so ridiculous that Rolls-Royce didn't even mention it.
