2024 ROLLS-ROYCE SPECTRE - THE BEST LUXURY EV!?

EV Channels Review

The Rolls-Royce Spectre marks the brand's ambitious entry into the electric vehicle market, and the review suggests it largely succeeds in translating the marque's core values to an EV. The Spectre is praised for its exceptional silence, smooth ride, and impressive comfort, thanks to its advanced suspension and superior noise insulation, surpassing even the BMW 7 Series in these aspects. The all-wheel-drive system, with electric motors front and rear, delivers brisk acceleration (4.5 seconds 0-60 mph) in a remarkably smooth and effortless manner, fitting the Rolls-Royce ethos. While the interior boasts traditional luxury with modern touches like the starlight headliner and intricate detailing, the reviewer notes that the seats, made from animal skin, feel stiffer than the vegan alternatives found in the BMW 7 Series, suggesting an area for future improvement. The lack of a 'sport mode' is intentional, reinforcing the focus on comfort and refinement over outright sportiness. Despite its hefty price tag, the Spectre is deemed a perfect match for the Rolls-Royce philosophy, proving that electric powertrains can indeed enhance the brand's signature effortless and silent driving experience.
