Rolls-Royce Cullinan

(2018 - present)

    Summary


    The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a large luxury SUV and the newest model in the Rolls-Royce family. It has been a controversial addition to the line-up, although initial sales have been reported to be very strong.

    Like all Rolls-Royce models, the Cullinan is built in the UK at the company’s facility in Goodwood.

    The Rolls-Royce Cullinan has received mostly positive scores from the UK motoring media. It has received particular praise for its comfort and interior quality, but has been criticised for its poor cabin proportions and very high fuel consumption.

    As of January 2023, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan holds an Expert Rating of 72%.
