Lexus ES vs Rolls-Royce Phantom Comparison

The ES 300h is the only car in that segment that comes with a petrol-hybrid powertrain. The way it drives is smooth, and there's no doubting its stylish looks, because everyone on the road will stop and take another look at it. The level of comfort offered on the car is absolutely mind boggling. However, there's a lot to achieve for yet for Lexus in India like improving its service network, something that its rivals has and that's probably the only Achilles heel it has.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom does not try to be a sporty car. It does not chase track lap times or try to dazzle you with giant touchscreens. What it does is provide a completely isolated, calm trip from one point to another. The build quality is exact, and the materials are the best you can find.

Moreover, the standard V12 engine does its job without any fuss, and the ride handles rough patches with ease. Yes, it is huge, heavy and costs a fortune. But buyers at this level are not looking for a bargain; they want the best example of a luxury saloon. If your goal is to travel in total comfort and make a clear statement, the Phantom remains the top choice. It strictly follows its own path, ignoring other passing trends in the car world.
