Rolls-Royce has unveiled Cullinan Series II, marking a bold evolution of its renowned ultra-luxury SUV. The latest model combines advanced technology and contemporary craftsmanship while maintaining the impeccable standards of luxury and performance that define the brand.
Technological advances
Cullinan Series II introduces cutting-edge digital capabilities with the SPIRIT operating system, first seen in the all-electric Spectre. This sophisticated interface enhances connectivity and personalisation, allowing drivers to customise digital displays to match the interior and exterior of their car. The SPIRIT system is also integrated with Whispers, Rolls-Royce’s private member app, offering features such as remote locking, sending destinations to the car and viewing its location.
Exterior design
Cullinan Series II features a striking new look designed to appeal to a younger, more urban customer base. Inspired by skyscrapers, the design’s verticality is evident in the new lamp treatments and illuminated Pantheon grille, which now features lower tips and polished horizontal lines that connect Cullinan Series II with Phantom Series II.
The side profile is accentuated by precise feature lines that run from the tail lights to the rear wheels, creating a sense of movement. The rear design includes a bold exhaust treatment with a mirror-finished stainless steel surround and brushed stainless steel protection plate. For the first time, 23″ wheels are available, enhancing the vehicle’s imposing presence.
Performance and versatility
Cullinan Series II continues to deliver outstanding performance with its 6.75-litre V12 engine. This powerful engine ensures effortless performance both on and off-road, making Cullinan the versatile choice for ultra-luxury SUV enthusiasts. The vehicle’s ability to transition seamlessly from urban environments to rugged terrain underlines its versatility.
Bespoke personalisation
Rolls-Royce is committed to bespoke personalisation, enabling customers to customise their Cullinan Series II to reflect their unique tastes and preferences. This includes the new Placed Perforation technique, which perforates leather with tiny holes to create intricate patterns. Inspired by the clouds of Goodwood, the design comprises up to 107,000 individual holes that are meticulously checked for uniformity.
Cullinan Legacy
Since its launch in 2018, Cullinan has redefined the ultra-luxury vehicle, combining off-road capability with hallmark Rolls-Royce comfort to create an unparalleled driving experience. Cullinan Series II builds on this heritage, incorporating new technology and design elements that respond to the evolving tastes and needs of today’s luxury consumer.
Customer-centric design
The development of Cullinan Series II was driven by detailed customer feedback and information collected in Rolls-Royce’s private offices around the world. This approach ensures the vehicle meets the highest standards of luxury while responding to the evolving tastes of Rolls-Royce customers. Today, almost all Cullinan owners drive their own vehicles, reflecting a move towards a more personal, immersive driving experience.
Controlling urban space
With its imposing presence and sleek design, Cullinan Series II is perfectly suited to urban environments. Inspired by illuminated skyscrapers, the verticality of the exterior design ensures it stands out in any cityscape. A new lamp treatment featuring tall daytime running lights ensures Cullinan Series II is easily recognisable day or night.
The front of Cullinan Series II is characterised by clean, consistent surfaces and simple feature lines that emphasise its generous proportions. The shallow ‘V’ shaped bumper line recalls the sharp bow line of a modern sports yacht, whilst new air intakes add a muscular impression. An illuminated Pantheon grille is featured for the first time on a Cullinan, further enhancing its striking appearance.
Viewed from the side, Cullinan Series II features precise lines that create a sense of movement, while the rear design includes a bold exhaust surround and brushed stainless steel protection plate. The addition of 23-inch wheels, available in part or fully polished finish, accentuates the car’s imposing stance.
Interior craftsmanship
The interior of Cullinan Series II is a perfect blend of modern design and traditional craftsmanship. The new clock cabinet vitrine is an eye-catching feature that incorporates the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine into the dashboard for the first time. The vitrine is beautifully lit and creates a dramatic focal point inside the car.
The interior palette is inspired by a botanical theme, with materials such as grey stained ash wood and Duality Twill fabric. The Duality Twill seats are a particular highlight, featuring intricate embroidery of up to 2.2 million stitches. Made from bamboo, this luxurious fabric adds a unique feel to the interior and reflects the brand’s commitment to innovative materials and design.
Cullinan Series II also features a new placed perforation technique which creates an intricate pattern in the leather inspired by the clouds of Goodwood. This attention to detail and craftsmanship make the interior of Cullinan Series II luxurious and unique.
Improved connectivity and comfort
The integration of the SPIRIT operating system and Whispers app puts Cullinan Series II at the forefront of digital innovation: a new digital interface allows for greater personalisation, while the Whispers app offers convenient features such as remote locking and destination sending.
Rear seat passengers will benefit from enhanced connectivity, including the ability to connect up to two streaming devices to the rear screen. The vehicle also features Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity and Bluetooth headphone pairing, ensuring a comfortable and connected experience for all passengers.
A sophisticated palette
Reflecting many customers’ desire to escape into nature, Cullinan Series II features a botanical-inspired colour palette. New grey stained ash wood adds a subtle sparkle to the interior, while Duality Twill fabric offers a luxurious and sustainable seating option. Made from bamboo, the fabric is available in three colours and can be customised with 51 different thread colours.
The deployed perforation technique adds a further level of artisanal finesse to the interior, creating intricate patterns inspired by nature. This innovative technique ensures the interior of Cullinan Series II is as unique and luxurious as its exterior.
lastly
Cullinan Series II is a bold evolution of Rolls-Royce’s ultra-luxury SUV, combining advanced technology, innovative materials and meticulous craftsmanship. Its imposing presence, sophisticated design and luxurious interior make it the standout choice for those seeking the ultimate in luxury motoring.
