Is the Rolls-Royce Cullinan a good car?
The Cullinan like all the other models in the Rolls-Royce line-up is hand-built from the ground up using the finest materials and the highest degree of attention to detail. Due to its SUV credentials, it is also a lot more practical and can be used for more than just the commute to the office. Thus, the Cullinan is indeed a good car.
Who is the Rolls-Royce Cullinan a good car for?
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a good car for individuals that are young at heart and want to explore and travel without compromising on the luxury in which they want to travel. Whether you find yourself at the rear of the cabin or in the driver's seat, the Cullinan remains ultra-luxurious.
Is the Rolls-Royce Cullinan a good first car?
If you are looking to be chauffeured around, the Cullinan will be a great first car, that is if you can afford the purchase price. For those that want to be at the helm, the Cullinan is quite large in its proportions and will take some time to get used to, especially on narrow suburban roads.
Is the Rolls-Royce Cullinan a good family car?
The Cullinan offers comfortable seating for up to five occupants, that is if the bench seat configuration is commissioned for the rear of the cabin. The boot is also carnivorous and will comfortably house luggage for a weekend away. As such it is indeed a good option for a family vehicle.
Is there a Hybrid Rolls-Royce Cullinan?
At the moment, the Cullinan range is motivated by the 6.8-litre, turbocharged, V12 petrol engine producing up to 442 kW and 900 Nm of torque should you get the Black Badge derivative. No hybrid models are on offer yet.

What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
I am used to driving these performance cars and sort of trying to exploit them. And this is the exact opposite. I am in sort of an automotive isolation tank just cruising around and admiring quiet everything is and how soft the materials and everything are inside the car. Obviously, the quality is incredible, you really have to be inside here to really appreciate the level of craftsmanship and the quality of the materials they put inside these vehicles.

What is the Rolls-Royce Cullinan like inside?
The interior of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is impressive due to a variety of aspects. One such area is the materials used and how meticulously they have been crafted to fit perfectly inside the cabin. Another key area is noise cancelling as very little noise from the outside of the vehicle can be heard. In fact, unless you are pressing the accelerator to the floor which will result in a little bit of engine noise from the V12, you will mostly only notice the air coming from the climate control system. It is a luxurious environment that can also be tailored to your every request.
Style
Based on the Phantom VIII platform, the Cullinan is a long vehicle but unlike the Phantom which takes shape as a three-box design the Cullinan is a two-box configuration. Also, the Cullinan stands much taller, so tall that Spirit of Ecstasy is pretty much at chest level of an average adult, this makes it very imposing. In terms of exterior styling, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan follows a more rectangular theme throughout but resembles the Phantom and even Ghost models in areas such as the front grille, headlamps, bonnet and taillamps.
