The 2014 Rolls-Royce Phantom is a sedan that earns a Carivo score of 6.5/10 — rated Good. Its strongest dimension is Technology at 9.1/10, while Value at 4.3/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional sedan — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. At 5.7/10 for reliability, this sedan trails its segment. That doesn't rule it out, but go in with eyes open on running costs. Safety lands at 7.9/10 — solid, though some rivals offer more advanced driver-assist features as standard.

Performance at 6.1/10 is a genuine liability and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. The powertrain and chassis dynamics trail class rivals by a meaningful margin — don't overlook it. On technology it rates 9.1/10: a modern, well-integrated suite that compares favorably with anything at this price point.
Priced from $266,000–$338,660, 10 MPG, seating 4, the Rolls-Royce Phantom sits in the luxury tier of the sedan market. The value score of 4.3/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 12 years old, resale value, parts availability, and whether a successor model has improved on its weak points are all worth investigating before committing.
Verdict: The 2014 Rolls-Royce Phantom sits in the middle of the field. Until its performance and reliability and value scores improve, stronger options exist at this price. Worth a look if it fits a specific need; otherwise use our compare tool against the segment leaders first.
