What is the fuel consumption of the Rolls-Royce Phantom?
2 Answers
The combined fuel consumption of the Rolls-Royce Phantom is 14.2-14.5L/100km. There are currently 2 models of this car on sale. The combined fuel consumption of the standard wheelbase version is 14.2L/100km, while the long wheelbase version has a combined fuel consumption of 14.5L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, around 15.75L. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when approaching traffic lights will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also have higher fuel consumption as greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is harder to atomize, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the car, which also increases fuel consumption.
I've checked the official data for the Rolls-Royce Phantom, and its official fuel consumption is approximately 15 to 20 liters per 100 kilometers. However, this is measured under ideal road conditions, and the actual driving experience can be quite different. In city traffic jams, the fuel consumption can reach up to 25 liters, while highway cruising is slightly more economical at around 17 liters. The 6.7-liter V12 engine indeed delivers impressive power, but it's also quite thirsty for fuel. Several Phantom owners I know often mention that filling up the tank costs around 700 to 800 RMB. If you're driving this car, don't worry too much about fuel costs—after all, buyers at this level prioritize comfort and presence more.
