By Rolls-Royce has unveiled the much-anticipated facelift of its esteemed Cullinan SUV, marking a significant update since its debut six years ago. The facelift model is christined as the Cullinan Series II. One of the most striking changes is evident in the revised headlights, featuring extended LED daytime running lights that cascade downwards on the bumper, imparting a more commanding presence to the front fascia. The decision to depart from conventional design norms underscores Rolls-Royce’s commitment to pushing boundaries within the ultra-luxury segment, aligning with its parent company BMW Group’s vision.
The redesigned front bumper gets air intakes for a bold, flat surface, accentuated by redesigned lower air intakes with a subtle tilt. Inspired by the illuminated skyscrapers of burgeoning megacities, the Cullinan Series II incorporates a light-up grille reminiscent of urban architectural aesthetics, complemented by stately 23-inch wheels and a striking Emperador Truffle paint option. In keeping with its tradition of exclusivity, the Cullinan Black Badge variant receives a distinctive makeover, featuring polarizing design elements such as unique 23-inch wheels with interwoven spokes and a menacing blackened exterior finish.
The interior remains largely unchanged, exuding luxury and sophistication, with meticulous attention to detail evident in the carbon fibre trim and exquisite leather upholstery. Under the hood, the Cullinan retains its 6.75 L, twin-turbocharged V12 engine, delivering potent performance befitting its regal stature. With 571 horsepower in standard guise and 600 horsepower in Black Badge specification, coupled with 850Nm and 900Nm of torque respectively, the Cullinan Series II ensures an exhilarating driving experience that seamlessly combines power with refinement.
