At the heart of the Cullinan lies a 6.7L V12 engine fed by twin turbochargers making 563 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. It's a combination that never feels like it's working hard, despite a claimed 0-60 time of 4.8 seconds. This is largely due to the extreme efforts towards sound deadening as well as a refined, quiet and vibration-free nature of the big V12 engine.
To assist passengers into the Cullinan, the vehicle will drop by 40mm on its suspension. Once inside, simply push a button and the door will close automatically.
The rear seats can be optioned as either a classic 3-seat bench, or the immersive seating configuration, as a double captain's chair setup, complete with fixed armrest containing a refrigerated drinks cabinet with bespoke champagne flutes and a glass partitioning wall, which makes for better sound insulation and climate control.
The Cullinan offers the driver assistance package, which adds park assist, night vision, and active cruise control.
The viewing suite offers two electronically deployed tailgate seats in the boot with various leather colors.
There are also the optional sanctuary seats. This rear seat configuration allows the right rear passenger to enjoy power adjustable calf rests that gives a full body reclining experience.
Rolls-Royce's signature Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament is available in solid silver, gold plated, frosted glass, dark chrome, and carbon fiber with available LED illumination.
Inside the Cullinan, owners can option the vehicle with rear picnic tables, heated and cooled rear seats, heated rear seat armrests, full length rear curtains, leather or lambswool floormats, front massage seats, umbrellas, and a 1300 watt bespoke audio system with 12-inch HD rear theatre screens and TV tuner.
The new black badge trim offers a host of additions including more engine power, a sports exhaust, a re-mapped throttle in low mode, red brake calipers, unique 22-inch wheels, revised brake rotors, tweaked air suspension and steering, carbon fiber interior trim, a shooting star headliner, and high gloss dark chrome exterior trim on the grille, window surrounds, exhaust, and badges.

For 2022, Rolls-Royce hasn't made any notable changes to the Cullinan.
The Cullinan is an ultra-luxurious offering from Rolls-Royce, the pinnacle of opulence, which means it has no true direct competitor. However, there are other special SUV's that shoppers in this market are looking at. They include the Bentley Bentayga, Range Rover HSE, Mercedes-AMG G63, and Lamborghini's Urus. The Cullinan offers more exclusivity, hand-crafted quality, and the ultimate list of customizable luxury bespoke options to complement its ruggedness and performance.
