From very first view Cullinan is a powerful and assertive design, with the V-shape of the bonnet standing well proud of the front wings and leading towards the familiar Palladian Rolls-Royce grille topped by the Spirit of Ecstasy. It shares a close resemblance to the front of the new Phantom, with which it shares body architecture, but the treatment of the front bumper and air intakes gives a more rugged, warrior-like face. The large passenger compartment leads to a fastback split tailgate with a vestigial ‘boot’ or bustle, which Rolls-Royce calls a ‘D-back’ format.
On-board technology is, as you’d expect, comprehensive. It includes the latest navigation and entertainment systems, a high-resolution head-up display and a four-camera system with panoramic view, all-round visibility and helicopter view. Safety systems include night vision and vision assist; alertness assistant; active cruise control; collision warning; cross-traffic warning, lane departure and lane change warning. A Wi-Fi hotspot, five USB ports and wireless phone charging keep everyone’s devices and smartphones connected and charged, wherever in the world they find themselves.
