Cullinan is The Most Luxurious SUV Money Can Buy

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for: Rolls-Royce is poised to unveil an unprecedented new SUV. In development for years, unparalleled in the luxury 4×4 world, it’s named after the largest diamond ever found — one that also happens to reside among the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.

“Luxury is no longer an urban concept,” says Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos. “Our customers expect to go everywhere in luxury, effortlessly and without compromise, conquering the most challenging terrain to enjoy life’s most enriching experiences, wherever they may be.”

Cullinan Will Take The World In Its Stride

Those changing priorities led to the creation of the Cullinan says Muller-Otvos. “It dramatically evolves the parameters of super-luxury travel, translating Rolls-Royce’s ethos of ‘effortlessness’ into physical capability, anywhere in the world. Cullinan will simply take the world in its stride.”

What Makes The Cullinan Stand Out?

The Cullinan is the second Rolls-Royce vehicle to ride on an aluminum space frame, allowing it to be both strong and nimble at the same time. Its 3-box design, separating engine, passenger compartment and luggage, ensures a quiet atmosphere inside. Tested throughout the world, it has proven itself in

every climate and on every terrain imaginable.

Under the hood is the familiar twin turbo 6.75 liter V12. It offers 563 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque to all wheels. Starting at a suggested retail price of $325,000, it is comparably priced to other players in the world of Super SUVs. Thanks to the mostly aluminum design, it only weighs 5,864 lbs —much lighter than we would have guessed.

The Cullinan has all the luxuries and amenities we’ve seen in other Rolls-Royce models, and now all-terrain DNA has been added to the mix. We can barely wait to see how it handles on the beaches of Florida — so stay with us for all your Cullinan updates!
