Rolls-Royce Cullinan Keys to a New Generation of Luxury SUVs
Rolls-Royce has been producing luxury cars for the ultra-wealthy who want to cruise off into the sunset and travel the world in complete comfort. Cullinan is the brand's newest SUV is designed to entice rich people away from their Range Rovers or Bentaygas.
Its innovative architecture and new technologies provide iconic design, unbeatable space and usability, as also unparalleled off-road and on-road capability.
Effortless All Over
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan was designed for those who see travel as an art form, an art and a way to live. This means that it has to be as simple off-road as a highway. The latest SUV from the brand, which is dubbed "the first all-terrain Rolls-Royce," brings this possibility to life. The innovative features of the vehicle are a testament to a tradition rooted in perfection and mastery.
The Cullinan doesn't just absorb bumps and imperfections, it completely ignores them. The soft suspension makes the road feel like a silky carpet.
During our test drive of the Cullinan the car, we drove it off-road on both dirt and gravel, as well as on paved roads with potholes and other imperfections. The car's all-wheel drive system and oversized tires allowed it to conquer difficult terrain with confidence. It comes with a low-riding suspension system that allows it to crawl over obstacles and rocks without causing damage to its bottom.
In addition to its all-terrain ability in addition, the Cullinan is loaded with advanced technology to make the owner's journeys as smooth as they can be. The SUV has forward-collision warnings with automatic emergency brakes, night vision and vision assist as well as a surround-view camera that comes in handy when parking or driving in tight spaces caused by the Cullinan's size as well as adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warnings. It has a WiFi Hotspot, navigation system and an industry-leading Head-Up Display.
The Cullinan also comes with the type of solid construction quality that a wealthy person would expect. Each switch, knob, or touchpoint feels as if it could last a thousand years. When it's that long, it might only need some spit to continue functioning. The cabin is decorated with chrome, wood, and leather -- with the Spirit of Ecstasy looking down on the driver and passengers from its perch high above the dashboard.
While the Cullinan's cabin is equipped with cutting-edge technology, it's missing certain gizmos younger drivers may desire. It's not equipped with the kind of driver aids that provide lane-keeping and semi-autonomous highway driving or the kinds of connected gadgets that are becoming more common in cars.
Clasp
Cullinan has unmatched off-road capabilities at the touch of an button, and is dubbed Everywhere by Rolls Royce engineers. This allows the driver to finesse the SUV's self-leveling air suspension to absorb every bump and rut, while the drive and prop shafts ensure that all 850Nm of torque is delivered to the rear and front wheels at exactly the right moment.
Cullinan is the first Rolls-Royce to feature a tailgate, with the rear doors opening in a similar style to those of pickup trucks. The design creates an SUV with an appearance that is three-box. It also offers access to a cargo area that offers 21 cubic feet of space, with the rear seats up with the floor sitting lower than the bottom of the seatbacks to keep items from slipping around.
The main cabin of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan provides an easier approach to luxury than what has been seen in a production Rolls-Royce car. The rear passengers, for instance are higher than front passengers, allowing them to have a better view of the world beyond their vehicle. The rear bench can be arranged in many ways to meet your requirements.
To enhance the practical layout the rear-view mirrors have been reshaped and toned down in appearance, while the Rolls-Royce badge is placed on a smaller plinth separated from the number plate housing, with just a thin strip of jewellery to add some flair. rolls royce keys are an identical utilitarian design with two narrow upright units which house the lights as well as a single stripe of jewelry in their central.
Cullinan Beyond the obvious benefits of a more practical layout, is the most accommodating Rolls-Royce for families ever. Its rear bench can be set up to accommodate three passengers, while the standard panoramic roof means that you'll have plenty of space to spread out. The Immersive Seating configuration allows drivers to enjoy their surroundings in comfort, wrapped in the finest leather. A champagne decanter and whisky cooler can be positioned in the central console to add the luxury.
The compartment for the rear passenger
The Cullinan is an Rolls-Royce that's unlike any other model before it. It's big, ostentatious and opens the brand to a whole new generation of buyers who are willing to drive it in areas that other luxury SUVs might be reluctant to go. Jackson Hole in Wyoming, where the SUV is made, might be one of them.
From the side the vertical lines running from the front doors, down the raised bonnet edge and into the skid plate of metal give a strong sense of intent for an SUV ready to conquer the world. In addition, the large wheels and the slender roofline create a distinctively tall stance that conveys a strong character.
Rolls-Royce engineers have created an original design for this vehicle that combines an exquisite interior with unparalleled off-road capabilities and uncompromising luxury. In the process, they have crafted a vehicle that is both practical and iconic.
The large glazed area on the world's most popular panoramic glass roof lets passengers on the rear of the vehicle to enjoy a spectacular view of their surroundings. If they want to pinpoint their current location in the world, they can simply zero in on themselves on the rear touchscreen map.
A key feature is that both of the rear seat backs fold down, giving ample cargo space. With a simple push of an button they can be quickly reduced without damaging the seat cushion. They can be divided into a 2/3 or 1/3 arrangement to increase the functionality of the vehicle.
The design of the Rolls-Royce coach doors allows the passengers to exit and enter comfortably, with their legs protected from dirt. This not only allows the occupants to step aboard without getting their trousers dirty, but also ensures that whatever they're carrying, a Mark Rothko canvas, for example - will be well secured.
And once they're inside, passengers can toast their achievements by sipping a whisky from the bottle holder which is tucked behind the front seats. And when they're ready for to rest, they can settle down in the heated and massaged rear seats and relax with the help of the available neck- and shoulder-rests as well as the leg- and leg-rests.
The Glass Partition
With a starting price of $325,000 The Cullinan is the most expensive vehicle that has come out of Rolls-Royce's Goodwood factory over its 114-year history. It's not just the fact that it has all-wheel drive, but also 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). It's not, as this SUV was designed to be a vehicle for a family that is meant to be driven, not left in the care of an individual chauffeur.
It's also the first SUV to have a rear passenger compartment that is large enough to hold three passengers comfortably, and still leave enough space for luggage. It provides a range of options for seating, including back-seat massage chairs. The centre console is also equipped with champagne coolers and two Rolls-Royce champagne flutes or a whisky decanter.
The Spirit of Ecstasy is what makes this Rolls-Royce apart from Bentaygas and Range Rovers that have been competing for the attention of ultra-wealthy customers in recent years. The hood ornament rises up and falls with the Cullinan, letting everyone know that this is no ordinary SUV.
I was also awed by Rolls-Royce's restraint in its cabin. While some companies are splattering their cabins with ever-deeper layers of technology however, the Cullinan is clean and simple display at the top of the center stack that is similar to traditional gauges.
One of the biggest modifications from previous Rolls-Royce models is the use of box-grain leather. This kind of leather is created by pressing a metal frame into the hide, and then applying lacquer to create an inky-black finish that's durable and more durable than the smooth leather used in other luxury vehicles.
The Cullinan is a magnificent vehicle that combines all the features that make SUVs so coveted. However, it has a few drawbacks. Most importantly it's an absurd amount of money to spend on an SUV, even one with the luxury of this. If you're looking to buy a Cullinan you will need to sell some art or get rid of summer in Nice.
