Key Points: Rolls-Royce Bespoke Audio, Rear Theatre Configuration, Shooting Star Headliner.

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a renowned luxury SUV, which marks the first vehicle from the British manufacturer to feature an all-wheel drive powertrain. It is named after the Cullinan Diamond, the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever discovered, and sits above the Ghost and below the Phantom in the Rolls-Royce line.

The Cullinan uses an aluminium space frame chassis, which is a version of the modular ‘Architecture of Luxury’ platform which made its debut in the Phantom VIII. Its exterior design has been adapted from the 8th-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom, such as the front grille and the headlights, while the interior features leather-trimmed seats and wooden appliances, as well as a luggage compartment-mounted cocktail table with leather camping seats, which is known as the ‘viewing suite’. The Cullinan is the only Rolls-Royce to have a glass partition between the luggage and passenger compartments.

It has a double-wishbone front axle and a five-link rear axle, as well as self-levelling air suspension, electronically controlled dampers front and rear, and electrically actuated active anti-roll bars. The Cullinan features various driving modes, including an off-road setting, which lowers the dynamic suspension by 40mm.

Like the Phantom VIII, the Cullinan employs a four-wheel steering system to improve both manoeuvrability at low speeds and stability at higher speeds. There is a stereo camera integrated into the front windscreen that scans the road ahead and adjusts the suspension proactively to improve ride quality. This system, dubbed "The Flagbearer" by Rolls-Royce, operates at speeds of up to 62 mph.
