The Cullinan SUV is a large SUV that has all-terrain capabilities. To achieve this, it utilizes the same aluminium spaceframe platform that Rolls-Royce created for its new Phantom limousine. This platform, known as "Architecture of Luxury," is designed to be able to accommodate future Rolls-Royces. It's claimed to provide the highest stiffness in the industry, while eschewing steel permits a greater use of expensive materials such as sound deadening.

The Cullinan's design allows it to be as luxurious on paved roads as possible, while maintaining its off-road capability. The Cullinan can climb up to 213 metres and it has a top speed of 188 km/h. The vehicle is powered by a 6.75 litre V12 engine which produces 850 Nm at 1,600rpm. It's coupled with an eight-speed auto transmission that offers all-wheel drive.

The Everywhere Button

Rolls-Royce recognized that its younger customers wanted an automobile that would provide the most rewarding experiences of their lives. What they didn't want was the disadvantages that are usually associated with SUVs - increased interior noise due to the traditional two-box design, shared platforms that limit the performance and flexibility of the vehicle; or being only good on or off road. They wanted an Rolls-Royce with the renowned Magic Carpet Ride, even when it's off the beaten track.

Cullinan was the perfect solution. One touch of what's called the Everywhere button, and the Cullinan transforms from an SUV into an actual luxury adventurer. The suspension, transfer case and transmission are optimized for off-road driving conditions when the Everywhere button is engaged. The engine generates massive amounts of torque even at low RPMs, allowing Cullinan to navigate through mud and gravel, or snow, with ease.

It also permits the driver to finesse the off-road setting and make Cullinan glide across any terrain, while maintaining a high level of comfort and agility. It also offers safety. The self-leveling air suspension makes millions of calculations per second based on acceleration, camera data and steering inputs to make the necessary adjustments.

Cullinan's all-terrain capabilities are further enhanced by its four-wheel-drive system, which continuously examines the surroundings to ensure the right amount of torque is applied to each wheel is delivered to each. When driving off-road, the Cullinan is equipped with cameras that can spot stones and ruts, alerting the driver of their presence so they can be avoided.

Cullinan's mission is to be Effortless everywhere.

When the day's adventures are over, a single press of a button sees two leather seats and a cocktail table deploy from the luggage compartment, making the perfect space for owners and their guests to relax and enjoy the view or watch a sporting event.
