The exterior of the SUV is classy and elegant, thanks to the use of signature Rolls-Royce design elements, while the interior is all-luxury with best-in-class luxury and convenience features that the brand has to offer.
Exterior
The 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan looks luxurious and adventure-ready from every angle. With a high ground clearance and an athletic stance, the all-new Cullinan demands the attention of everyone on the road. The “Spirit of Ecstasy” statue adds a touch of class, elegance and refinement to the overall edgy exterior of the vehicle.
The front fascia of the vehicle looks very aggressive, thanks to the big and tall signature Rolls-Royce radiator grille, slim air damn and large air intakes that improve the engine cooling function and enhance the aerodynamics of the vehicle as well.
At the sides of the grille are slim and rectangular LED headlamps with Daytime Running Lights for the signature Rolls-Royce appeal. Bold and wide chrome accents can be seen around the grille, lower bumper, air intakes, windows, doors, beltline, rear lower bumper and tailgate for a touch of sportiness.
The stance of the vehicle is wide and agile, thanks to the presence of muscular fenders, high ground clearance and 22-inch wheels. The beltline of the SUV is almost straight with chiseled lines while the side skirts of the vehicle are thick and sturdy for a refined SUV look.
The rear of the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan features a short deck lid and a straight tailgate that merges well with the sloping rear windows. The signature Rolls-Royce vertical taillights add to the luxurious appeal of the vehicle while the big roof spoiler and diffuser augment the sportiness of the overall design.
