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

Rolls-Royce has long made luxurious vehicles for the wealthy who want to drive into the sunset and travel the world in complete comfort. Cullinan is the company's first SUV, and its goal is to lure the wealthy from their Range Rovers and Bentaygas.

Its brand new architecture, technologies and design offer an iconic look, unmatched space and usability and unparalleled on-road and Off-road capability.

All Over Effortless

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

Furthermore, the Cullinan doesn't just take care of bumps and imperfections, it ignores them altogether. Its supple suspension makes it feel like the road is a soft rug.

During our test drive of the Cullinan We drove it off-road on both gravel and mud, and on paved roads with potholes and other imperfections. The car's all-wheel drive and big tires made it possible to conquer difficult terrain with confidence. It has 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, the Cullinan is loaded with advanced technology to make its owners' journeys as smooth as they can be. The SUV is equipped with forward-collision warnings, automatic emergency brakes, night vision and vision assist and a surround-view camera system that comes in handy when parking or driving in tight spaces due to the Cullinan's size, 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 wealthy people. Every knob, switch, or touchpoint feels as if it's been there for a thousand years. When it's that long it may only require a little spit in order to continue working. The interior is decorated with leather, wood and chrome. The Spirit of Ecstasy sits high above the dashboard, and is looking at the passengers and the driver.

The Cullinan is a car that is loaded with latest technology, however it lacks a few gadgets that younger drivers might want. It's not equipped with the kinds of driver aids that provide lane-keeping and semi-autonomous highway driving or the type of connected gadgets that are becoming more common in cars.

Clasp

A single push and a name like 'Everywhere' by engineers from Rolls-Royce - is all it takes to unleash Cullinan's peerless off-road capabilities. The driver can fine-tune the suspension of the vehicle to take on any bumps and ruts that may occur along the route. Meanwhile, the propel and drive shafts ensure that all 850Nm is delivered to the front wheels and rear wheels exactly at the right moment.

Cullinan, the first Rolls-Royce with tailgates and rear doors that open similarly to pickup trucks, is the first Rolls-Royce that has tailgate. This is a design feature that gives it a more three-box design and enhances the SUV's impressive appearance. It also provides access to the cargo area, which offers 21 cubic feet of space with the rear seats up with the floor sitting lower than the bottom of the seatbacks in order to prevent items from slipping around.

The main cabin of the rolls royce ghost key-Royce Cullinan offers a more practical approach to luxury than any other seen in the production Rolls-Royce car. The rear passengers, for instance are seated higher than the front passengers, allowing them to have a better view of the world beyond their vehicle. The rear bench can be set up in many ways to meet your requirements.

To enhance the practical layout the rear-view mirrors are reshaped and subdued in appearance. The Rolls-Royce badge is placed on a smaller plinth independent of the number plate housing, with just a thin strip of gold to decorate. The rear lights sport a similar utilitarian look with two tall upright units which house the lights as well as a single stripe of gold in their center.

Beyond the obvious advantages of a more efficient layout, Cullinan is the most family-friendly model from Rolls-Royce to date. Its rear bench can be set up to seat three people while the standard panoramic roof design means that they'll have plenty of room to stretch out. The Immersive Seating configuration lets drivers take in their surroundings in a comfortable setting, encased in the finest leather. To further enhance this sense of indulgence, a champagne cooler and whisky decanter could be kept inside the central console for easy access during long journeys.

The Rear Passenger Compartment

The Cullinan, an exclusive Rolls-Royce unlike any other before it, is both similar and different. It's huge and extravagant however, it makes the brand accessible to new generations of potential buyers who'll drive it into places where other luxury SUVs would shy away from. Those might include Jackson Hole, Wyoming where the SUV is made.

The vertical lines that run across the front doors and along the raised bonnet edge and down into the metal skid plates, convey a confident and purposeful sense of. This SUV is ready to take on the whole world. The large wheels and slender silhouette of the roofline give it an impressive look, which conveys a strong and confident image.

Rolls-Royce engineers have designed an original design for this car that combines a luxurious interior with peerless off-road capabilities and uncompromising luxury. In the process, they have crafted an automobile that is both practical and iconic.

The large glazed area on the world's most popular panoramic glass roof allows passengers on the rear of the vehicle to enjoy a spectacular view of their surroundings. If they want to know their current location in the world the touchscreen on the rear allows them to zero in on it.

One of the most important features is that both of the rear seat backs fold down, allowing for ample cargo space. A single press sees them effortlessly drop down without compromising the seat cushion. They can also be split in a 2/3 and 1/3 configuration, increasing the practicality of the vehicle.

When they arrive the passengers can take a step into and out of their Rolls-Royce in absolute comfort with their legs shielded from dirt thanks to a design that sees both the front and rear doors of the coach swathe low under the sill. This allows the occupants of the Rolls-Royce car to enter and exit comfortably and with their legs shielded from dirt, thanks to the design that wraps both front and rear coach doors low beneath the sill.

Once inside, occupants can toast their achievements with a glass of whisky from the bottle holder which is tucked behind the front seats. And when they're ready for to rest, they can settle down in the heated and massaged rear seats, and relax by using the optional neck-, shoulder- and leg-rests.

The Glass Partition

With a base price of $325,000 the Cullinan is unlike any vehicle to roll out of Rolls Royce Cullinan Key-Royce's Goodwood factory during its 114-year existence. It's not just that it has all-wheel drive, but also a button marked "Off Road," or usable ride height (Rolls-Royce has an extensive history of overland travel dating back to T.E. Lawrence's 1914 armoured vehicle). It's not, as this SUV was designed to be an ideal vehicle for families that is meant to be driven and not left in the care of a chauffeur.

It's the first vehicle to feature an interior passenger compartment in the rear that is large enough to hold three passengers comfortably, yet still leaving plenty of space for luggage. It offers a variety of seating options that are incredibly comfortable, including rear-seat massaging chairs. The centre console is also equipped with champagne coolers, two Rolls-Royce champagne flutes and whisky decanters.

However, it's the Spirit of Ecstasy that really makes this Rolls-Royce in a completely different class in comparison to the Range Rovers and Bentaygas that are competing for ultra-rich buyers' attention lately. This hood ornament rises and falls with the Cullinan and lets everyone know that this is no ordinary SUV.

I was also awed by the restraint of the cabin of Rolls-Royce. While some manufacturers are splattering their cabins with ever more layers of technology however, the Cullinan has a simple and clean display at the top of the center stack that appears very similar to traditional gauges.

One of the biggest changes from past Rolls-Royce models is the use of box-grain leather. This kind of leather is made by pressing a frame made of metal into the hide and then applying lacquer, resulting in an inky black finish that's long-lasting and more robust than the smooth leather found in other luxury cars.

The Cullinan is an SUV that combines all the attributes that make them so popular. However, it does have certain drawbacks. It's absurd to pay this much money on an SUV even if it's as well-equipped this one. If you're planning to buy a Cullinan you'll have to sell some art or wait until summer is over in Nice.
