2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost SII Review

The sumptuous seats are finished with three-level heating, chilling and massage functionality. It’s the perfect match to a hard day in the office, or on the boat. The seats are incredibly soft and literally feel like a big armchair to sit in.

Customisation options are almost endless. Rolls-Royce ensures that every customer’s needs are met and exceeded when it comes to personalising their vehicle. Wood, paint and even leather can be matched to a buyer’s needs, even if they request some fairly horrific tones. But, we’re not ones to judge style.

Leg and head room in the second row is excellent. The ‘suicide’ doors open normally at the front and open in reverse for the second row, allowing easy access to the back pews. It’s also the storage area for the trademark Rolls-Royce umbrellas, which sit in the door cavity and are secured by a spring-loaded latch.

The boot caters for 480 litres of cargo and is also finished in a soft-to-the-touch wool carpet. It’s deep, cavernous and offers an adequate aperture for storing things like golf bags and bags of cash. It’s only 20 litres smaller than the current BMW 7 Series it’s based on, but is 35 litres short of the 2016 BMW 7 Series that is due to launch locally in the coming months.

The highway drive into Bowral highlights how impressive the Ghost’s ride is. It’s like riding on a magic carpet. Road imperfections and bumps are washed away with ease, while road noise is non-existent thanks to the supreme sound suppression.
