Rolls-Royce Cullinan Key Features
Rolls-Royce strives to go beyond SUV tropes with its Cullinan. It might be obscenely large and heavy, but it is equipped with the car body stiffness that offers top-of-the-line performance on rough terrain as well as ride comfort.
It's also a popular choice for people. Owners can customize Recreation Modules to suit their interests, whether it's fly fishing, photography, horse riding, or whatever else catches their attention.
The Clasp
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is Rolls-Royce as you've never seen before. This SUV was created for those who desire the best in luxury and will not compromise on quality.
The first thing you'll notice is the front of the car, which blends Rolls-Royce design cues with functional elements that convey power and intent. The vertical lines that run across the raised bonnet, through the grille and down to the skid plates below convey a sense of robustness and sheerness. The Spirit of Ecstasy badge and the Rolls-Royce badge sit just a little higher than the wing's line to emphasize the SUV's intrinsic strength.
Once inside, passengers can sit in a three-across bench which makes this the most child-friendly Rolls-Royce ever. A standard panoramic roof enhances the sense of spaciousness, and a glass partition is used to separate rear passengers from the cargo area below. Based on your specific specifications you can set up the rear seat in several ways. For example, if you're transporting priceless works of art or dinosaur fossils, the rear seats can be arranged to fold flat onto the floor of your cargo to create a single, level load space with 21 cubic feet of space.
If you're not hauling your priceless artworks or dinosaur fossils, however the rear seat can be fitted with what Rolls-Royce calls Recreation Modules. They can easily be inserted into the cargo bay of the Cullinan, these modules enable owners to take part in a variety of outdoor pursuits. You can go fly fishing or photography, snow boarding, base jumping, horse riding or volcano boarding by pressing the button.
Rolls-Royce engineers designed the Cullinan SUV with a unique self-leveling mechanism to ensure that it is able to be driven everywhere. The suspension is live and performs millions of calculations every second to anticipate the conditions the vehicle will encounter on the course of a particular drive. The suspension adjusts the ride height, making the SUV comfortable and secure on any surface.
A rotary knob next to the infotainment controls the suspension, the hill-descent controls and the Everywhere mode. This allows you to activate all the features above with a single press. You can also personalise your driving experience by choosing the vehicle's dynamics and atmosphere that is most suitable to your mood.
The Rear
Rolls-Royce's architectural design is a key strength that allows the company to design and engineer vehicles of different size, weight and power. This allows it to provide iconic design and style without compromise in comfort, space and usability and cutting-edge technology that is unique to Rolls-Royce. Cullinan uses this base architecture in a totally new method. It builds on its inherent functionality to produce the most modern SUV in its class.
The design is based on functional baselines, with vertical and horizontal elements that communicate the inherent strength of Cullinan. From the front side of the grille, and its 'eyebrow'-shaped daytime running lights as well as the Saxon spear shape of the bonnet, the vents on the rear fender and metal skid plate, the strength of the car is apparent from every angle.
The rear of the car is a tribute to its history by having a two-part tailgate called "The Clasp. It can be closed and opened at the touch of an button. Inspired by thekeylab.co.uk in which luggage was placed on the exterior of the car and allowed the passengers to travel in a light manner and easily. Clasp gives a sense ease and utility to the rear of the vehicle.
Every element in the cabin is a balance between authentic Rolls-Royce Luxury and simple, symmetrical purpose. The dashboard is accentuated by the addition of hand-finished metal columns that support the fascia and central stack. This adds a fresh level of intrigue and gives it a purposeful appearance. In addition both the front and rear coach doors are tucked under the sill of the vehicle, which allows the passengers to go down without having to clean their trouser legs, a detail only Rolls-Royce would think of.
Once at their destination, occupants can relax in Rolls-Royce's Pavilion Seating whilst enjoying grandstand views of the surrounding area through the large side windows and the industry top panoramic glass roof. You can also zoom in on their location on the rear touchscreen map, if needed, or access a wealth of other entertainment and connectivity features that make Rolls-Royce Cullinan the most advanced vehicle of its kind.
If the occupants require further relaxation they can also call to the garage, where one of a selection of Recreation Modules can be loaded into the back of the vehicle. These modules offer a variety of leisure activities that owners can indulge in.
The Glass Partition
In the past, Rolls-Royce owners used to travel with luggage. The trunk was a convenient location to store it. The glass partition is able to be added to the trunk space of this car, making it more comfortable. This makes the cabin more peaceful and protects the passengers to ensure that they are always at ease no regardless of where they are.
For those who like a glass of bubbly while on the move, Cullinan is equipped with a built-in drinks cabinet that can be adapted to each buyer's particular preferences. The fridge is able to keep champagne bottles cold and a set champagne flutes from Rolls-Royce are provided. If you prefer a drink that is a little stronger the cabin can be fitted with a decanter and whiskey glasses.
The Cullinan is a large SUV that can be used on all terrains. To achieve this, it utilizes the same spaceframe made of aluminum that Rolls-Royce developed for its new Phantom limousine. This platform, known as "Architecture of Luxury," is designed to support future Rolls-Royces. It's claimed to offer the highest level of stiffness and rigidity by avoiding steel, and allows for greater use of costly materials like sound deadening.
The Cullinan's design allows it to be as luxurious on paved roads as it can be while still retaining its off-road capabilities. The Cullinan has a maximum speed of 188km/h and can reach 213 metres. The car is powered by a 6.75 litre V12 engine which produces 800 Nm at 1,600rpm. It's paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission that offers all-wheel drive.
Rolls-Royce wanted a unique SUV that could meet the demands of its customers. It wanted to take them to places that no modern Rolls-Royce owner has ever been before, and that's exactly what it did with the Cullinan. It's a true testimony to Rolls-Royce's commitment to its customers and to making their experience seamless, wherever. Mobility in the automotive industry is a swift and thriving business with new ideas like SUVs popping up frequently. However, to be embraced by customers who are not willing to accept any compromise - the patrons of genuine luxury - they have to be flawless.
The Everywhere Button
Rolls-Royce understood that its new generation of customers wanted to drive a vehicle capable of providing their lives' most enjoyable experiences. They didn't want the compromises that are often associated with SUVs, like increased interior noise from the old-fashioned design of the two-boxes; shared platforms that limit performance and flexibility or being only suitable for or off-road. Instead, they wanted an all-terrain Rolls-Royce that would offer the renowned Magic Carpet Ride even off the beaten path.
Cullinan was the perfect solution. One touch of what's known as the Everywhere button, and Cullinan transforms from a car to an actual luxury exploration vehicle. The suspension transmission, transfer case and suspension are specifically designed for off-road driving when the button is pressed. The engine generates massive amounts of torque even at low RPMs, which allows Cullinan to move through mud and gravel or snow, effortlessly.
The driver is also able to fine-tune the off-road settings and make Cullinan glide over any terrain and still maintain an unbeatable level of comfort, agility and security. The self-leveling air suspension does millions of calculations in a second depending on the speed of acceleration, camera inputs, and steering inputs to make the necessary adjustments.
Cullinan's all-terrain capabilities are enhanced by its four-wheel drive system, which constantly checks the surrounding environment to ensure the right amount of torque to each wheel. When driving off-road, the Cullinan is equipped with cameras that can detect ruts and stones to warn the driver of their presence so they can be avoided.
Cullinan's goal is to be Effortless Everywhere.
When the day's events are over, a single press of a button sees two exquisitely finished leather chairs and a cocktail table eject from the luggage compartment, creating the perfect place for owners and their guests to take in the view or take in an event. The Bespoke Viewing Suite is yet another illustration of how Cullinan is determined to make luxury effortless everywhere.
