Rolls-Royce Cullinan Key Features
Rolls-Royce strives to go beyond the stereotypes of SUVs by introducing its Cullinan. It's not small and heavy, but it comes with the stiffness of a car body, which provides the best performance in class on rough terrain.
It's also a crowd-pleaser. Owners can design Recreation Modules for their passions whether it's fly fishing or photography, horse riding or whatever else catches their fancy.
Clasp
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan represents Rolls-Royce in an unimaginable way that you've never seen before. This SUV was created for those who desire the highest quality in luxury and will not compromise.
The first thing you notice is the front of the car, which blends Rolls-Royce design clues with functional elements that convey power and purpose. The vertical lines that extend from the A-pillars to the edge of the bonnet that is raised, across the grille and down to the skid plate below communicate a sense of strength and sheerness. The Spirit of Ecstasy and the Rolls-Royce logo sit above the line of the wing to signal the SUV's toughness.
The three-across bench in the interior makes this the ideal family-friendly Rolls. The panoramic roof that is included on all models of Rolls, adds to the spaciousness of the car. A glass partition separates the rear passengers from the cargo space below. You can configure the rear seats in a variety of ways based on your personal requirements. If you're carrying dinosaur fossils or priceless artwork the rear seat can be set up so that it folds flat into the cargo area, creating an open load space of 21 cubic feet.
Rolls-Royce offers Recreation Modules for the rear seat, when you're not carrying dinosaur fossils or awe-inspiring artwork. These modules are easily slid into the Cullinan's cargo area and permit owners to participate in a range of outdoor activities. You can go fly fishing or photography, snow boarding, horse riding, base jumping or volcano boarding all by pressing the button.
To ensure that the Cullinan can be driven anywhere, Rolls-Royce engineers incorporated a unique self-leveling suspension that is built into the SUV. The suspension operates in real-time, completing millions of calculations each second to predict the conditions that the vehicle is likely to encounter on any given drive. The suspension then adjusts the its ride height to match, making the SUV confident and comfortable on any surface.
A rotary knob next to the infotainment controls suspension, hill-descent control as well as the Everywhere mode. It activates all of the features above by pressing a button. You can also personalise your driving experience by selecting the vehicle dynamics and ambience that suit your mood.
The Rear
Rolls-Royce's architecture is a core strength that enables the marque to design and engineer vehicles of different size, weight and power. It can deliver iconic design, style and comfort, space and usability, as well as the most advanced technology available to Rolls-Royce. Cullinan utilizes this basic architecture in a completely different method. It builds on its inherent functionality to produce the most modern SUV in its class.
In the entire vehicle, functional guidelines inform the design with strong horizontal and vertical elements that communicate Cullinan's inherent strength. The strength of the vehicle is evident from every angle including the front side of grille with its 'eyebrows' daytime running light, the Saxon spear-shaped bonnet, and the skid plate made of metal.
The rear of the car also pays homage to its history, with a two-part tailgate called 'The Clasp. It opens and closes at the press of a button. The Clasp is inspired by the past when luggage was placed outside the car to allow the occupants to carry less weight. It adds convenience and comfort to the rear of a car.
Inside the cabin, a blend of authentic Rolls-Royce luxury and a simple, symmetrical design informs every detail. The dashboard is enhanced with the addition of hand-finished metal columns that support the fascia and central stack. This adds an additional level of intrigue and gives it a shrewd feel. The front and rear coach doors wrap low beneath the sill, which allows passengers to exit the vehicle without scuffing their pants. This is an innovative feature that only Rolls-Royce would think of.
The Keylab of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan can relax in the Pavilion Seating and enjoy grandstand views through the large side window and the industry-leading panoramic glass roof. The rear touchscreen map is able to determine their location, if needed, or they can access a variety of other immersive entertainment features and connectivity options that make the Rolls-Royce Cullinan one of the most sophisticated vehicles of its kind.
If the occupants require further relaxation, they can head down to the garage, where one of a selection of Recreation Modules is able to be inserted into the back of the car. These modules provide owners with various recreational activities they can take part in to further indulge in their passions.
The Glass Partition
In the past, owners of Rolls-Royce used to travel with luggage. The trunk was a convenient storage space. The glass partition can be incorporated to the trunk space of this car, making it even more comfortable. This makes the cabin more peaceful and ensures that the occupants are surrounded to ensure they are at ease wherever they are.
For those who like drinking a glass of bubbly on the move, Cullinan is equipped with a built-in drinks cabinet that can be tailored to the specific preferences of each buyer. The fridge keeps bottles of champagne chilled, and a set of Rolls-Royce champagne flutes are included. For those who prefer a drink more robust the cabin can be equipped with a whiskey decanter and glasses.
The Cullinan SUV is a tall SUV that is capable of all-terrain driving. To achieve this, it utilizes the same spaceframe made of aluminum that Rolls-Royce created for its new Phantom limousine. The platform, dubbed "Architecture of Luxury" is designed to be able to accommodate future Rolls-Royces. It's said to provide the best-in-class stiffness by avoiding steel, and allows for a larger use of expensive materials such as sound deadening.
This is also what enables the Cullinan to be as luxurious as it can on asphalt roads, while still providing off-road capabilities. The vehicle can climb up to 213 metres and it can reach the ability to reach speeds of 188 km/h. It's powered by an 6.75-litre V12 engine that can produce 850 Nm of torque at 1,600 rpm. It's connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission that offers all-wheel drive.
Rolls-Royce wanted a unique SUV to meet the needs of its customers. It wanted to be able to transport them to places no current owner of a Rolls-Royce has ever been before, and that's precisely what it did with the Cullinan. It's a testament to Rolls-Royce's commitment to its customers and to making their experience effortless, everywhere. Automotive mobility is a swift and dynamic industry, with new concepts like SUVs popping up regularly. In order to be accepted they have to be perfect.
The Everywhere Button
Rolls-Royce knew that the younger generation of customers wanted an automobile that would provide the most enriching experiences of their lives. They didn't want the compromises that are often associated with SUVs, like more interior noise due to the old-fashioned design of the two-boxes; shared platforms that restrict performance and flexibility, or only being good on or off-road. They wanted an Rolls-Royce with the legendary Magic Carpet Ride, even when it's off the beaten track.
The answer was Cullinan. One push of what is called the Everywhere button, and Cullinan transforms from an SUV to a true luxury exploration vehicle. The suspension, transfer case and transmission are designed for off-road driving conditions when the Everywhere button is activated. The engine produces huge amounts of torque even at low RPMs, which allows Cullinan to navigate through mud and gravel or snow, effortlessly.
The driver can also fine tune the off-road settings, allowing Cullinan glide over any terrain and maintain the highest level of security, agility, and comfort. The self-leveling air suspension makes millions of calculations per second dependent on steering inputs and camera information to make the necessary adjustments.
Cullinan's all-terrain capabilities are further boosted by its four-wheel drive system which continuously monitors the surroundings to ensure that the right amount of torque is delivered to each wheel. Cullinan is equipped with cameras that detect stones, ruts and other obstacles, letting you to stay clear of them.
When the time comes to return to the paved road, a push of the button for opening opens both rear and front coach doors wrap low beneath the sill, so that dirt does not touch the sill of the door. This is another illustration of how Cullinan is determined 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, creating the perfect place for guests and owners to take in the view or take in an event. The Bespoke Viewing Suite is a further example of how Cullinan is determined to make luxury effortless Everywhere.
