021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan: All-Terrain Luxury SUV

 

 

Welcome to Luxury Reimagined

The Sports Utility Vehicle. Darling of the soccer-mom set. The do-anything, go-anywhere Swiss Army Knife of family conveyances. The vehicle of choice for four-wheeled, off-road adventures. A cavernous, carryall that swallows just about everything from kiddies and camping gear to metric tons of luggage.

Hardly the image of an ultra-lux vehicle designed to cocoon its occupants in quiet, sophisticated, and palatial comfort and world-class finery. Thus, it may be difficult to wrap one’s head around the rather novel notion of an SUV hand-crafted by the world’s premier luxury automaker, whose storied marque is synonymous with the supreme expression of automotive prestige and pedigree to which all others aspire.

A Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV.

Say again?

Surely the Automotive Gods are smiling at that one.

But, in 2018, the master craftsmen ensconced in Roll-Royce’s Goodwood, UK design center had indeed birthed just such an astonishingly unique vehicle. It’s called the Cullinan, and like its dazzling 3,107-carat diamond namesake (the largest ever unearthed, by the way), the Cullinan is both breathtaking to behold and even more remarkable to experience.

The Perfection of the Luxury SUV

The 2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan at Braman Rolls-Royce Motor Cars carries over virtually unchanged from the 2020 model year -- which isn't a bad thing in the slightest. After all, why tinker with the ultimate perfection of the luxury SUV?

We surely can’t argue, as the Cullinan represents the new pinnacle of achievement in the deluxe SUV genre. Every millimeter a Rolls-Royce, from its proud Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet ornament down to the finest interior detail, the Cullinan has ushered in a new era of unbridled ultra-lux adventure that not only shatters conventional wisdom about what a luxury SUV should be -- it obliterates it.

A Revelation of Rugged Refinement

From the yacht club or the country club to the great outdoors, the sublimely beautiful Cullinan commands attention and admiration from every nuanced angle. It evokes a spirit of opulent adventure that is quintessentially Rolls-Royce in every magnificent detail. The Cullinan’s signature Pantheon grille projects a formidable presence that proudly announces its unmistakable automotive heritage; one that is steeped in tradition, yet is at the forefront of modernity. From its distinctive coach doors to its bold 22-inch, seven-spoke forged aluminum alloy wheels, the Cullinan’s muscular countenance perfectly blends sophisticated elegance with an adventuresome spirit. It beckons you to undertake an unforgettable voyage of discovery along roads less traveled to destinations yet undiscovered.

Impeccable Interior Indulgence

The Cullinan’s impeccably crafted interior is an oasis of sublime inspiration that offers a standard of indulgent comfort, spaciousness, versatility, and quietness that is nothing less than transcendent. This is, after all, a Rolls-Royce. And, as such, the Cullinan cossets its occupants in unparalleled levels of lavish elegance befitting its station as the world’s most luxurious SUV.

Utilizing only the finest materials throughout, the Cullinan’s capacious cabin is hand-built by automotive artisans who combine Old-World craftsmanship with modern techniques to create an environment that is as refined as it is innovative. It features an abundance of box-grain leather, lambs-wool carpeting, exotic wood trim, and milled aluminum accents.

Select the Immersive Seating option from the Cullinan’s vast menu of bespoke interior configurations and your rear passengers will revel in ultra-comfortable massage seating as they a drink Champagne or enjoy a whisky cocktail from the custom, rear center console chilled serving station. Additionally, the Cullinan is the world’s first SUV to offer an available glass partition between the luggage compartment and rear passengers for unparalleled sound insulation.

The Cullinan also offer a unique Bespoke Viewing Suite that deploys two leather seats and a cocktail table from the luggage compartment, giving you an unobstructed view of nature’s vistas in supreme comfort. And the Cullinan’s commodious cargo capacity offers up to 68 cubic feet of space with its exclusive Loading Assistant that folds the rear seats and raises the luggage compartment floor with the touch of a button.

All-Terrain Performance Personified

As the most capable Roll-Royce in the marque’s legendary history, the 2021 Cullinan personifies the ultimate expression of unrivaled all-terrain performance with a composed and quiet ride quality that is the new benchmark. This is thanks to the Cullinan’s unique aluminum spaceframe and chassis. Additionally, an innovative camera scans the road ahead and proactively adjusts the Cullinan’s agile front and rear axles, making millions of calibrations every second.

Motivating the Cullinan is a supremely powerful and whisper-quiet 6.8-liter V-12 engine that delivers an impressive 563 horsepower and prodigious 627 lb.-ft. of torque available at just 1,600 rpm. Engage the Off-Road button and experience a new dimension of all-terrain capability optimized for six different traction modes, including snow, wet grass, sand, rough trails, mud, and gravel. Self-leveling air springs with adaptive dampers and multi-link suspension soak up the slightest jostles with aplomb, ensuring a composed ride that is a smooth as glass.

The Bespoke Cullinan Experience

One of the joys of owning a Rolls-Royce is your ability to customize your Cullinan down to the smallest detail. As a sort of Rolls-Royce-buying celebrity, you’ll work closely with a Bespoke Specialist who will help you create a vehicle that is as distinctive as you are.

And for the discerning Rolls-Royce owner who demands nothing but the best, Coachbuild is the pinnacle of the bespoke Rolls-Royce experience. As a Coachbuild patron, you’ll be paired with a team of artisans who will help you to create a masterpiece of form, function, and beauty that will make your Cullinan a singular achievement of your own inspiration. The only thing left to do is take good care of your Rolls-Royce.

But for the ultimate expression of individuality, the stealth-like Cullinan Black Badge edition makes an unmistakeably bold and powerful statement with its mesmerizingly magnetic, all-black personality.
