Rolls-Royce is getting ready for the mid-lifecycle update of the Ghost sedan, four years after the model’s debut. The smaller sibling of the Phantom will go through a subtle redesign, highlighted by a cleaner face, and fresh LEDs on both ends.

Our spy photographers spotted a prototype of the Rolls-Royce Ghost undergoing cold-weather testing in Sweden. The camouflage wrap was limited to the front bumper, giving us a great idea of the design updates. The most notable change compared to the outgoing model is the new LED headlights which appear to be slimmer and have a narrower shape towards the illuminated grille.

The front bumper appears refreshed with a simpler design for the lower intake and the omission of the horizontal chrome accents found in the existing Ghost. We can also see a revised sensor for the ADAS mounted in the middle. At the back, changes are limited to the LED graphics on the taillights, featuring two vertical slits.
We suspect there might be new options for the alloy wheels alongside a refreshed color palette. The lighting in the spy shots and the snowy surroundings may alter our perception of color. Still, the prototype appears to be painted in the Olivin shade, which is already available in the Spectre.
Judging from the company’s product strategy, we don’t expect significant upgrades on the interior and underpinnings of the Ghost. The luxurious sedan is fitted with a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V12 engine producing 562 hp (419 kW / 570 PS) in standard guise, or up to 592 hp (441 kW / 600 PS) in the Black Badge Ghost version.

The outgoing Rolls-Royce Ghost was introduced in 2020, which makes us believe that the facelifted version could arrive in 2025. Besides the Ghost, Rolls-Royce is working on a more extensive mid-lifecycle update for the Cullinan SUV, following the debut of the Phantom Series II last year.
