To stay contemporary, Rolls-Royce has been distancing itself from its traditional conservative designs, opting for modern aesthetics instead. The revamped Cullinan epitomizes this shift, sporting a significantly changed exterior that demands attention.
The redesign focuses heavily on the headlights, which have become slimmer and now feature LED daytime running lights that extend to the bumper. The bumper itself has been redesigned with a bolder, more athletic look. Yet, the classic large grille remains, now with an added touch of illumination.
The SUV's rear maintains a more conservative appearance, with the most noticeable changes being larger exhaust tips and a modified light signature. The vehicle's new wheel designs are daring, with sizes up to 23 inches, adding to its bold stance.
Inside, the Cullinan retains a sense of tradition, though the final look strongly depends on the customer's preferences. Options are vast, with possibilities like pink leather upholstery, limited only by one's imagination and budget.
Noteworthy is the introduction of the 'Duality Twill' upholstery option, featuring 107,000 hand-made perforations of varying diameters, creating intricate patterns on the interior elements. The SUV's updated multimedia system and digital clocks, which cleverly retain a classic appearance, are also distinctive new features.
However, the most critical aspect remains under the hood. The 6.75-liter V12 engine continues to power the Cullinan, and in the Black Badge version, it produces up to 600 horsepower, a testament to the SUV's enduring performance legacy.
