Rolls-Royce Cullinan Reveal On May 10

Rolls-Royce is almost ready to dip its toes in SUV waters. After a bulk of spy pics, official camouflage reveals and a ton of videos where the Cullinan was spotted taking on different terrains, we finally have a date now. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan will be revealed to the world on 10th May 2018. If you are a resident of India, you can catch the show from 4:30 pm onwards on Rolls’ official website. Note though: this will be an online-only unveil and the actual physical unveil will take place at a later time.

Now, to the “all-new, high-bodied car" itself. The Cullinan is built on Rolls-Royce’s proprietary new ‘Architecture of Luxury’ aluminium spaceframe which allows for a varied wheelbase. Like the Phantom, this could mean that the Cullinan might get a long wheelbase (LWB) avatar in the future. Powering the SUV will most likely be the all-new 6.75-litre, twin-turbocharged V12 engine from the 2018 Phantom. It could come mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, sending power to all four wheels. RR might also introduce a hybrid variant as well but at a much later stage.

Inside, the SUV, like the sedans, will offer a world of luxury. It will also have all the unnecessary customisation options to make each car unique, like the 44,000 exterior colour options on the new Phantom. We expect the Cullinan to arrive in India by the end of this year, with a price tag more than the Bentaygas and Urus’ which cost south of Rs 3 crore, possibly the most expensive production SUV. But if going off-road in bespoke luxury is your thing, no price is too high.
