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

Rolls-Royce has long produced luxury cars for the ultra-wealthy that want to drive off into the sunset and travel the world in total comfort. Cullinan, the company's new SUV is designed to entice wealthy customers away from their Range Rovers or Bentaygas.

Its new architecture and technologies offer iconic design, unbeatable space and usability, as also peerless on-road and off-road capability.

All Over Effortless

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan was designed for those who view travel as a form of art and a way to live. It should be as simple to drive on and off-road as it is on a paved roadway. The new SUV from the brand, dubbed "the first all-terrain Rolls-Royce," brings this possibility to life. Its unique features reflect a long tradition of excellence and skill.

Cullinan is able to ignore bumps and imperfections. Its soft suspension makes it feel as if the road is a silky rug.

During our test driving experience with the Cullinan We drove it off-road on both mud and gravel, and on roads that are paved, but with potholes and other imperfections. The car's all-wheel drive and oversized wheels allowed it to conquer difficult terrain with ease. It features a low-riding suspension system that lets it traverse over rocks and obstacles without damaging its underside.

The Cullinan comes with a variety of advanced technologies that make the driver's journeys more comfortable. The SUV has forward-collision warnings that include automatic emergency brakes, night vision, and vision assist as well as a surround-view camera which is useful when driving or parking in spaces rendered tight by the Cullinan's size as well as adaptive cruise control and lane-departure alerts. It also has a WiFi hotspot, navigation and an industry-leading head-up display.

The Cullinan also has the type of solid construction quality that a shrewd buyer would expect. Every knob, switch or touchpoint feels like it could last a thousand years. In the end, it might only need a little spit in order to keep functioning. The cabin is adorned with chrome, wood, and leather -- with the Spirit of Ecstasy looking down on the driver and passengers from a high perch above the dash.

While the Cullinan's cabin is filled with cutting-edge technology, it's lacking certain gadgets that younger drivers might crave. It's not equipped with aids for drivers, like semi-autonomous highway and lane-keeping, or the connected gadgets that are becoming more frequent in cars.

Clasp

A single push - dubbed 'Everywhere' by Rolls-Royce engineers - is all it takes to unleash Cullinan's peerless off-road capability. This allows the driver to adjust the auto-leveling air suspension to absorb every bump and rut while the drive and prop shafts ensure all 850Nm of torque is delivered to the rear and front wheels at the exact time.

Cullinan is the first Rolls-Royce to feature a tailgate. The rear doors opening in a manner similar to those of pickup trucks. The design gives an SUV a a three-box appearance. It also opens up a cargo area that offers 21 cubic feet of space. This is with the rear seats up, with the floor positioned lower than the base of the seatbacks to help prevent items from sliding around.

The main cabin of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan offers an approach that is more practical to luxury than anything previously seen in the production Rolls-Royce car. The rear passengers, for example are seated higher than the front passengers and can have a better view of the world beyond their car. The rear bench can be set up in many ways to suit your needs.

To complement the more practical layout, the rear-view mirrors have been reshaped and toned down in appearance. The Rolls-Royce badge is mounted on a smaller plinth separated from the number plate housing, with just a thin strip of gold to add some flair. The rear lights have an identical utilitarian design, with two tall upright units that house the lights and a single piece of jewellery in their centre.

Beyond the obvious benefits of a more functional layout, Cullinan is the most family-friendly rolls royce Cullinan key-Royce model to today. Its rear bench can be set up to accommodate three people, while the standard panoramic roof design means that there's plenty of room to stretch out. The Immersive Seating configuration lets drivers take in their surroundings in luxury, encased in the finest leather. To enhance this feeling of indulgence, a champagne cooler and whisky decanter can be placed inside the central console for easy access on those longer journeys.

The Rear Passenger Compartment

The Cullinan is a rolls royce cullinan keys-Royce that's unlike any other model before it. It's big and ostentatious and opens the brand up to an entirely new set of potential buyers who'll take it to places that other luxury SUVs may shy away from. Those might include Jackson Hole, Wyoming where the SUV is made.

From the side the vertical lines that run from the front doors, down through the raised bonnet edge, and into the skid plate of metal give a strong sense of purpose for an SUV that's ready to take on the world. Additionally, the huge wheels and the slim roofline give it an impressively tall stance that conveys a strong personality.

Rolls-Royce engineers have designed a unique design for this vehicle that combines an elegant interior with unbeatable off-road capability and uncompromising comfort. In the process, they have crafted a vehicle that is both practical and iconic.

The passengers seated in the rear of the vehicle can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding area through the vast glazed area of the industry-leading panoramic glass roof. If they want to pinpoint their current location on the globe they can just zero in on themselves on the rear touchscreen map.

A major feature is that both of the back seat backs in the rear can fold down, which allows for an ample space for cargo. One press of the button sees them effortlessly drop down without compromising the seat cushion. They can also be divided in a 1/3 and 2/3 configuration, enhancing the practicality of the vehicle.

When they arrive, the occupants can get in and out of their Rolls-Royce in complete comfort with legs protected from dirt thanks to a design that has both front and rear coach doors wrap low beneath the sill. This allows the occupants of the rolls royce keys-Royce to get in and exit with ease, with their legs protected from dirt due to the design that wraps both the front and rear coach doors lower than the sill.

Once inside, guests can toast their accomplishments by sipping a whisky out of the bottle holder hidden behind the seats in front. When they're ready to relax and unwind, they can relax in the heated and padded rear seats, and use the optional neck, shoulder and leg rests.

The Glass Partition

The Cullinan, with a starting price of $325,000 is unlike any other vehicle that has ever left the Goodwood factory of Rolls-Royce in its 114-year-old heritage. It's not just that it has all-wheel drive, a button marked "Off Road," or usable ride height (Rolls-Royce has a long overland tradition dating back to T.E. Lawrence's 1914 armoured vehicle). No, because this SUV was designed to be an ideal vehicle for families that is meant to be driven and not left in the care of an individual chauffeur.

It's also the first SUV to have an interior passenger compartment in the rear that is large enough to seat three people comfortably, while still leaving room for luggage. It provides a range of immersive seating options including rear-seat massaging chairs. The center console can also be fitted with champagne coolers and two Rolls-Royce champagne flutes, or a whisky decanter.

The Spirit of Ecstasy is what is what sets this Rolls-Royce apart from the Bentaygas and Range Rovers that have been in competition for the attention of ultra-rich customers in recent years. This hood ornament serves as an ongoing reminder that the Cullinan isn't your typical SUV.

I was also impressed by the stoicism of Rolls-Royce's cabin. While some companies are splattering their cabins with ever-deeper layers technology however, the Cullinan is simple and clean display at the top of the center stack that is similar to traditional gauges.

One of the most significant changes from past rolls-royce car key models is the use of box-grain leather. This type of leather is made by pressing a metal frame into the hide, then followed by lacquering. The result is a dark black finish that's more durable than smooth leather that is used in other high-end vehicles.

The Cullinan is a magnificent vehicle that marries all the characteristics that make SUVs so popular. It does have some drawbacks. Most importantly is that it's a ridiculous amount of money to invest on an SUV, not even one that is as luxurious as this. If you're looking to buy a Cullinan you'll have to sell some artwork or skip the summer in Nice.
