The most significant visual changes are found at the front, with new LED headlamps, which Rolls-Royce says has been designed in a familiar theme, lit in a different way.

Rolls-Royce is the first car manufacturer to include full LED headlamps as standard. Restyled bumpers and rectangular light apertures are also new.

Inside, the new Phantom gains a re-designed multimedia control system with 8.8-inch display and front, rear and top-mounted parking cameras.

Rolls-Royce has also installed a new 8-speed automatic gearbox, which helps to reduce overall emissions from 388g/km to 347g/km of CO2, and improves overall fuel economy by 10%.
