Verdict 

The Cullinan Series II is the undisputed king of SUVs pure Rolls-Royce magic on stilts. Exquisitely crafted, outrageously luxurious, it floats with a grace that crushes Range Rovers and Bentaygas in 20 seconds flat. Yes, it still nods to a London cab, but who cares when it’s this sublime?

Forget the debate: this is automotive royalty. Launched in 2018, the Series II sharpens the blade bolder grille, razor-thin headlights with cascading DRLs, a daring new bumper, and gasp diagonal lines breaking decades of tradition. No mechanical changes, just pure, electrifying presence.

Interior

Step inside and the Cullinan Series II is a cathedral of calm. Hand-stitched leather cascades over every surface, with new “Duality Twill” textile options woven from bamboo fibres—1.2 million stitches per cabin. The dashboard is a glass-panelled digital masterpiece, the first in Rolls-Royce history, flowing seamlessly into the doors. 

Illuminated treadplates greet you, while the Starlight Headliner now offers 1,400 fibre-optic stars (or a custom constellation of your choice). Rear seats? Choose the lounge bench or individual thrones with massage, heating, cooling, and power recline. A whisper-quiet fridge chills champagne between them. 

Bespoke audio with 18 speakers and 1,500 watts turns the cabin into a rolling concert hall. Touch a button and the “Viewing Suite” deploys two leather chairs and a cocktail table from the boot—pure theatre. This isn’t luxury. It’s opulence weaponised.
