Exclusive: Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV Unwrapped!

Here’s your first look at the vehicle primed to set a new standard in the ultra-luxury SUV market.

We’ve been waiting what seems like forever (three years, to be exact) for the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. What promises to be the world’s most luxurious SUV ever officially has a name, and we’ve even spotted it out testing in the wild. The problem? That test mule was heavily camouflaged, using some pretty unique patterns to try and disguise its lines. But even the most high tech camo can’t disguise everything.

So we had our resident artist draw up the Rolls-Royce Cullinan in all its natural glory. Immediately, this is a vehicle that won’t be confused with anything but a Rolls. From its unmistakably bespoked front end to its familiar haunches. This is an SUV that proudly shares many design cues with its current passenger car brethren. And, of course, the Spirit of Ectasy, which Rolls didn’t bother trying to camouflage on its test mule.

We wouldn’t expect anything less from a ride named after the Cullinan Diamond, the largest flawless diamond ever found. But make no mistake, this is an SUV, not just some high-body sedan. Rolls has tested the Cullinan in conditions ranging from the scorching heat of Africa to the frozen tundra of the Arctic Circle.

The ‘Viewing Suite’ lets you to tailgate in pure luxury with a pair of fine leather chairs and cocktail table that slide out at the touch of a button. Talk about making your presence known at little Billy’s next soccer game!
