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

Rolls-Royce has long made luxurious cars for those who want to drive into the sunset and explore the world in complete comfort. Cullinan is the brand's newest SUV is designed to entice wealthy people away from their Range Rovers or Bentaygas.

Its innovative architecture and new technologies provide iconic design, unbeatable space and usability, and unbeatable off-road and on-road capabilities.

Effortless All Over

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is designed for those who view travel as an art form or a way of living. It must be as easy to drive on and off-road as it is on a smooth road. The latest SUV from the brand, called "the first all-terrain Rolls-Royce," brings this possibility to life. Its unique features reflect a legacy that is founded on perfection and mastery.

Cullinan does not care about bumps and imperfections. Its soft suspension makes it feel as if the road is a soft rug.

During our test driving experience with the Cullinan We drove off-road, both on gravel and mud, and on roads that were paved with potholes and other imperfections. The car's all-wheel drive system and large tires let it take on difficult terrain with confidence. It has a low-riding, suspension system that allows it to traverse over rocks and obstacles without causing damage to its underside.

In addition to its all-terrain ability, the Cullinan has plenty of advanced technology to make its owner's journeys as smooth as they can be. The SUV has forward-collision warnings that include automatic emergency braking, night vision and vision assist as well as a surround-view camera which is useful when parking or driving in spaces rendered tight by the Cullinan's size and features adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warnings. It has a WiFi Hotspot, navigation and an industry-leading Head-Up Display.

The Cullinan has a solid build that is highly sought-after by wealthy people. Every knob, switch, and touchpoint feels like it's been designed to last for a thousand years, at which point it could just require a little spit to continue working. Its cabin is decked out with chrome, wood and leather with the Spirit of Ecstasy looking down on the driver and passengers from a high perch above the dash.

The Cullinan offers a cabin which is loaded with latest technology, but it lacks a few gadgets that younger drivers may desire. It doesn't have the kinds of driver aids that provide lane-keeping and semi-autonomous highway driving, or the kind of connected gizmos becoming more common in cars.

The Clasp

One touch and a name like 'Everywhere' by Rolls-Royce engineers - is all it takes to unleash Cullinan's unparalleled off-road capability. The driver is able to fine-tune the suspension of the vehicle to absorb any bumps or bumps along the way. In addition, the drive and propel shafts ensure that all 850Nm is delivered to the front and rear wheels exactly at the right time.

Cullinan, the first Rolls-Royce to have a tailgate and rear doors that open in a similar manner to pickup trucks is the first Rolls-Royce that has an open tailgate. The design gives an SUV a a three-box appearance. It also offers access to a cargo area that offers 21 cubic feet of space. This is with the rear seats up with the floor being lower than the top of the seatbacks in order to keep things from sliding around.

The main cabin of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is more practical than any Rolls-Royce production vehicle before. For example, the rear passengers sit higher than those in front, meaning that they have a better view of the world from their vehicle. The layout can be altered to suit various needs, with the standard rear bench offering an 80/20/40 split, as well as folding seatbacks that can be folded for more flexibility.

The rear-view mirrors were modified to complement the more utilitarian design. The Rolls-Royce badge was placed on a smaller plinth separated from the numberplate housing with a thin stripe of jewellery to add decoration. The rear lights are similarly utilitarian, with two small upright units that house the lights and a single strip of jewellery in their center.

Beyond the obvious benefits of a more efficient layout, Cullinan is the most family-friendly Rolls-Royce model to date. Its rear bench can be set up to accommodate three people and the standard panoramic roof design means that you'll have plenty of space to stretch out. Those behind the wheel can also luxuriate in their surroundings by opting for the Immersive Seating configuration that wraps them in a luxurious comfort and wraps them in the finest leather. To further enhance this sense of indulgence, a champagne cooler and whisky decanter can be housed within the central console to allow for easy access on those longer journeys.

The Rear Passenger compartment

The Cullinan The Cullinan, a Rolls-Royce like no other before, is like and different. It's huge, luxurious and opens up the brand to a new generation of buyers who will be happy to drive it in areas which other luxury SUVs be reluctant to go. These could include Jackson Hole, Wyoming where the SUV is made.

From the side, the vertical lines running from the front doors, down through the raised bonnet edge, and into the skid plate made of metal provide a confident sense intent for an SUV ready to conquer the world. The massive wheels and the slender silhouette of the roofline create an impressive look, which communicates a robust character.

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

Those seated in the rear of the vehicle can enjoy spectacular views of their surroundings thanks to the large glass surface of the world's most renowned panoramic glass roof. If they want to pinpoint their current location around the globe, they can simply zero in on themselves using the rear touchscreen map.

The backs of the rear seats are able to be folded down. This allows for a large cargo space. By pressing the button, they can be easily lowered without damaging the seat cushion. They can be divided into a 2/3 or 1/3 configuration to improve the efficiency of the vehicle.

When they arrive, thekeylab the occupants can take a step into and out of their Rolls-Royce in total comfort, with their legs shielded from dirt thanks to a design that has both front and rear doors of the coach swathe low beneath the sill. This allows occupants to step aboard without smudging their pants, but is also a guarantee that whatever they're carrying, for instance, a Mark Rothko canvas, for example - will be well protected.

After they're inside, passengers can toast their achievements by sipping a whisky from the bottle holder that is tucked behind the front seats. When they're ready for an afternoon nap you can relax in the heated and massaged rear seats, and relax with the the adjustable neck-, shoulder- and leg-rests.

The Glass Partition

The Cullinan, with a starting price of $325,000 is unlike any other vehicle that has left the Goodwood factory of Rolls-Royce in its 114-year-old history. It's not just that it has all-wheel drive, but also a button marked "Off Road," or usable ride height (Rolls-Royce has a long overland tradition dating back to T.E. Lawrence's 1914 armored car). It's because this SUV was designed to be a family vehicle that is intended to be driven by the owners, rather than in the hands of a chauffeur.

This makes it the first SUV with a rear passenger compartment that can hold three in comfort and still have space for luggage and other gear. It offers a variety of options for seating, such as rear-seat massaging seats. The center console is also equipped with champagne coolers, two Rolls-Royce champagne flutes or a whisky decanter.

The Spirit of Ecstasy is what really sets this Rolls-Royce apart from Bentaygas and Range Rovers that have been in competition for the attention of ultra-wealthy customers in recent years. The hood ornament is an ongoing reminder that the Cullinan is not your average SUV.

I'm also impressed with the level of restraint Rolls-Royce has displayed in its cabin. While some companies are splattering their cabins with ever-deeper layers of technology, the Cullinan has a simple and clean display at the top of the center stack that looks like traditional gauges.

Box-grain leather is among the most notable changes to the previous Rolls-Royce models. This type of leather is made by pressing a framework made of metal into the hide, followed by lacquering. The result is an inky black finish that is more durable than the smooth leather that is used in other luxurious automobiles.

The Cullinan is a stunning vehicle that combines all the attributes that make SUVs so coveted. However, it has some drawbacks. It's most importantly is that it's a ridiculous amount of money to spend on an SUV, even one with the luxury of this. If you're planning to purchase a Cullinan it's likely that you'll need to sell a couple pieces of art, or even skip your summer vacation in Nice.
