Rolls-Royce Cullinan Keys to a New Generation of Luxury SUVs

Rolls-Royce has long made luxurious cars for those who want to cruise off into the sunset and travel the world in total comfort. Cullinan is the company's first SUV and its goal is to lure those rich folk away from their Range Rovers and Bentaygas.

Its innovative architecture, technology and design provide an iconic look, unbeatable space and usability, as well as unbeatable off-road and on-road capability.

All Over Effortless

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan was designed for those who see travel as a work of art and a way to live. It should be as simple to drive off-road and on as it is on a smooth roads. The brand's new SUV, described as the "first all-terrain Rolls-Royce," makes that possibility real. Its unique features reflect a legacy that is built on perfection and excellence.

Cullinan is able to ignore bumps and imperfections. Its soft suspension makes the road feel like a smooth carpet.

During our test drive of the Cullinan We drove off-road, both on mud and gravel, and on roads that were paved with potholes and other imperfections. The car's all-wheel drive and big tires made it possible to tackle difficult terrain with ease. It comes with a low-riding suspension system that lets it traverse over rocks and obstacles without causing damage to its underside.

In addition to its all-terrain capabilities and all-terrain capability, the Cullinan comes with a wealth of modern technology to make its owners' journeys as easy as is possible. The SUV is equipped with forward-collision warnings with automatic emergency brakes, night vision, and vision assist and a surround-view camera system that is helpful when parking or driving in tight spaces caused by the Cullinan's size as well as adaptive cruise control and lane-departure alerts. It also comes with a WiFi hotspot, navigation, and a head-up display that is a class-leader in the industry.

The Cullinan has a solid build that is favored by people with wealth. Each switch, knob, or touchpoint feels like it could last for a thousand years. At that point it might just need some spit to continue functioning. The interior is adorned with leather, wood and chrome. The Spirit of Ecstasy sits high above the dashboard, looking at the passengers and the driver.

The Cullinan offers a cabin which is loaded with latest technology, however it isn't equipped with the gadgets that younger drivers may desire. It's not equipped with the kinds of driver aids that provide lane-keeping and semi-autonomous highway driving or the type of connected gizmos becoming standard in more automobiles.

Clasp

Cullinan offers unrivaled off-road capabilities at the touch of a button, dubbed Everywhere' by Rolls Royce engineers. The driver can adjust the air suspension of the SUV to take on any bumps and ruts along the route. Meanwhile the drive and propel shafts ensure that all 850Nm is delivered to the front wheels and rear wheels at the exact time.

Cullinan is the first model from rolls royce ghost key fob-Royce with a tailgate, with the rear doors opening in a similar manner like pickup trucks. This is a design feature that creates a more three-box design and enhances the SUV's impressive appearance. It also offers access to a cargo area that offers 21 cubic feet of space, with the rear seats up, with the floor positioned lower than the bottom of the seatbacks in order to prevent items from slipping around.

The main cabin of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan offers an easier approach to luxury than what has been seen in a production Rolls-Royce car. For instance, the rear passengers are higher than those in front, meaning that they can enjoy a better view of the world outside their vehicle. The layout can be arranged to meet different needs, with the standard rear bench providing the option of a 40/20/40 split as well as folding seatbacks to allow for greater flexibility.

To complement the more practical layout, the rear-view mirrors have been reshaped and subdued in appearance, while the Rolls-Royce badge is mounted on a smaller pedestal independent of the number plate housing. It is adorned with just a thin strip of jewellery to add some flair. The rear lights sport an identical utilitarian design with two tall upright units which house the lights as well as a single stripe of jewellery in their centre.

Cullinan, beyond the obvious benefits of an easier layout, is the most family-friendly Rolls-Royce ever. The rear bench can be configured to accommodate three people. The panoramic roof is standard and offers ample space to spread out. Those behind the wheel can also relax in their surroundings by opting for the Immersive Seating configuration, which envelops them in sublime luxury and encases them in the finest leather. A Champagne decanter and a whisky cooler can be positioned in the central console to increase the sense of luxury.

The Rear Passenger Compartment

The Cullinan, a Rolls-Royce like no other before, is like and different. It's huge and extravagant and opens the brand up to an entirely new set of potential buyers who'll drive it to places other luxury SUVs would be reluctant to go. These could include Jackson Hole, Wyoming where the SUV is constructed.

The vertical lines that run across the front doors and along the raised bonnet edge and into the skid plates, convey a strong and purposeful sense of. This SUV is ready to conquer the world. The massive wheels and the slender silhouette of the roofline create an imposing stance, which conveys a strong character.

Rolls-Royce engineers created a unique design that blends an elegant interior with unbeatable off-road capabilities, and uncompromising comfort. In doing so they have created an automobile that is both practical and iconic.

The vast glazed area on the market's top panoramic glass roof lets passengers in the rear to enjoy a spectacular view of their surroundings. If they want to pinpoint their current location on the globe, they can simply zero in on themselves on the rear touchscreen map.

A major feature is that both of the rear seat backs can fold down, which allows for ample cargo space. By pressing an button, they can be easily reduced without damaging the cushion. They can be divided into a 2/3 or 1/3 configuration to increase the practicality of the vehicle.

The design of the Rolls Royce Cullinan Keys-Royce coach doors allow passengers to step inside and out in comfort, while keeping their legs being shielded from dirt. This not only allows occupants to step aboard without getting their trousers dirty and muddy, but is also a guarantee that whatever they're carrying - for instance, a Mark Rothko canvas, for instance - will be secured.

And once they're inside, passengers can toast their achievements with a glass of whisky from the bottle holder that is tucked behind the front seats. When they're ready for to rest you can relax in the heated and massaged back seats and relax by using the optional neck- or shoulder-, as well as leg-rests.

The Glass Partition

The Cullinan, with a starting price of $325,000, is unique to any other vehicle that has ever left the Goodwood factory of Rolls-Royce in its 114-year history. It's not just that it has an all-wheel drive system, but also a button marked "Off Road," and a ride height that can be adjusted. (Rolls-Royce is a company with a long history of vehicles for overland travel dating back to T.E. Lawrence's 1914 armored car). It's not, as this SUV was designed to be an automobile for families that was intended to be driven and not left in the care of a chauffeur.

That means it's the first SUV to offer a rear passenger compartment that can hold three people comfortably and still have space for luggage and other gear. It provides a range of seating options that are incredibly comfortable, including rear-seat massaging chairs. The centre console is also equipped with champagne coolers as well as two Rolls-Royce Champagne flutes and a whisky decanter.

But it's the Spirit of Ecstasy that really makes this Rolls-Royce in a class of its own to the Range Rovers and Bentaygas that have been vying for ultra-wealthy buyers' attention in recent months. The hood ornament rises and falls with the Cullinan and lets everyone know that this isn't just an ordinary SUV.

I was also impressed by Rolls-Royce's restraint in its cabin. While some manufacturers are splattering their cabins with ever-deeper layers of technology, the Cullinan offers a simple and clean display at the top of the central stack that looks very similar to traditional gauges.

One of the most significant changes over previous Rolls-Royce models is the use of box-grain leather. This type of leather is created by pressing a frame made of metal into the hide and applying lacquer, which results in an inky-black finish that is durable and more robust than the smooth leather used in other luxury cars.

The Cullinan is a sublime vehicle that combines all the attributes that make SUVs so popular. However, it has some flaws. Most significantly it's an absurd amount of money you can spend on an SUV, even one with the luxury of this. If you're looking to purchase a Cullinan, you'll likely have to sell a few pieces of art or cancel your summer vacation in Nice.
