2027 Rolls-Royce Cullinan: Opulence Without Apology
Highs and Lows
Strengths include cabin materials that feel palace-worthy, a supremely tranquil ride, and acceleration quicker than such a large SUV needs. Drawbacks include styling that diverges sharply from the brand’s traditional look, and the sense that at this price point, the Phantom sedan might make more sense for some buyers.
Verdict
Exclusive and without direct rival, the Cullinan exists as a statement of what’s possible rather than a response to genuine need.
Overview
The Cullinan trades on exclusivity and presence, backed by extraordinary refinement and lavish materials. A 6.7-liter V-12 pairs with an 8-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive, delivering surprising performance for its size. Its true appeal lies in its hushed cabin and nearly limitless choice of vetted leathers, woods, and fabrics, further extended by a bespoke personalization program. The exterior design remains divisive, though it succeeds in keeping attention on the vehicle’s occupants. For 2027, the Cullinan carries over unchanged, though its personalization options mean each unit can still be a one-of-a-kind build.
Pricing
The 2027 Cullinan starts at $434,950 and reaches $504,950 depending on trim and options, with virtually unlimited customization available beyond that for buyers willing to pay.
Engine and Performance
The twin-turbo 6.7-liter V-12 produces 563 hp in standard form and 592 hp in the Black Badge variant, paired with all-wheel drive. An air suspension paired with a road-scanning camera system continuously adjusts ride height to smooth out road imperfections, giving the Cullinan an unusually isolated, cushioned ride quality.
Acceleration
Car and Driver clocked the Cullinan at 4.5 seconds to 60 mph, a strong result for a three-ton vehicle, though the V-8 Bentley Bentayga proved quicker at 3.5 seconds.
Towing and Payload
With the optional hitch, the Cullinan can tow up to 7,275 pounds, slightly behind the Bentley Bentayga’s 7,716-pound rating.
Fuel Economy
EPA estimates are 12 mpg city, 19 mpg highway, and 14 mpg combined. In Car and Driver’s real-world highway test, it returned 21 mpg, outperforming its own combined estimate and comparing favorably to the V-12 Ferrari Purosangue.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The cabin offers extensive customization with premium materials including lambswool carpeting, open-pore wood, and box calf leather, plus a bamboo-based Duality Twill upholstery option. A digital dashboard is paired with a small analog clock and Spirit of Ecstasy display beneath the glass panel. The rear bench seat offers heating, cooling, and massage, with individual rear seats also available. Cargo space totals 21 cubic feet, expandable with an optional rear Viewing Suite for outdoor seating. Testing fit eight carry-on suitcases with seats up, and 28 with seats folded.
Infotainment and Safety
The dash features a 10.2-inch touchscreen running Rolls-Royce’s Spirit software, alongside Bluetooth and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, an 18-speaker sound system, and a private owners’ app called Whispers. Rear passengers get individual seatback screens for entertainment and comfort controls. Standard driver-assistance features include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, and night vision.
