Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The Cullinan is Rolls-Royce's first purpose-built SUV, underpinned by the same all-aluminium spaceframe architecture introduced with the Phantom VIII. This 2020 car presents in Midnight Sapphire Metallic with a Mandarin leather interior — a factory combination given further coherence by the double coachline in Mandarin, which threads the exterior and cabin together visually. At 25,000 miles across five years, it has been used sparingly and is supported by full Rolls-Royce service history.

The options list is substantial and well-chosen. The Rear Theatre Configuration and Rear Picnic Tables make the most of the Cullinan's rear compartment, while the Exterior Stainless Steel Package and chrome-plated visible exhausts reinforce the car's presence. The 22-inch seven-spoke part-polished shadow wheels are among the stronger of the Cullinan's wheel choices aesthetically. Night Vision with pedestrian recognition, the full Driver Assistance Package, and Adaptive Cruise Control provide a comprehensive active safety suite, and Apple CarPlay, WiFi preparation, and Connected Drive Services bring the technology provision up to date.

Power comes from the twin-turbocharged 6.75-litre V12, producing 563 bhp and 627 lb-ft of torque, driving all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic. The result is performance that feels effortless rather than urgent — 0–62 in 5.2 seconds with near-total mechanical silence — which remains the defining characteristic of the Cullinan's appeal over its rivals.
