FIRST LOOK: New Rolls-Royce Cullinan – Upgrading The World’s Most Luxurious SUV
472,283
Published 2024-05-07
The changes for the Cullinan Series II are driven by the evolving Rolls customer, who is just 43 in 2024. And that younger customer wants, says Rolls, ‘bolder forms of self-expression’. On the outside that means new vertical daytime running lights, an illuminated ‘Pantheon’ grille and 23in wheels.
Inside, the luxe is dialled up even more, with the likes of a bamboo-based ‘Duality Twill’ interior that has up to 2.2 MILLION stitches and 11 MILES of thread, while ‘Placed Perforation’ seats create imagery through the position of over 100,000 tiny holes.
There’s also a Cullinan Black Badge model from the get-go, again determined by that younger customer: when the Cullinan was launched in 2018, over 30% were chauffeur driven; today, it’s less than 10%. There’s more power than standard, an uprated chassis, and no shiny chrome.
Do the tweaks keep it a rung above the Bentley Bentayga and Range Rover? Top Gear’s Jason Barlow has been to find out…

Never expected in a million years that Rolls Royce would screw up a design this bad
