Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MACHINE

V12 Performance in a Full‑Size SUV

Under the hood sits a twin‑turbocharged V12 paired to an eight‑speed dual‑clutch automatic and standard all‑wheel drive—enough power to move this large Rolls‑Royce from 0–60 MPH in about 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 151 MPH.

THE INTERIOR

Spacious, Padded Rear Cabin

The Cullinan prioritizes passenger comfort with an exquisitely padded rear compartment and a curated selection of upholstery and trim; the vehicle accommodates up to five passengers and can be heavily customized to owner preferences.

THE DISTINCTION

Rolls‑Royce Craftsmanship and Customization

Named after the famous Cullinan diamond, this SUV extends Rolls‑Royce’s bespoke program into an extravagant, large‑format vehicle—Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament and all—designed for those who prioritize legacy craftsmanship in a modern SUV package.
