What is the design and launch status of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV in the UK?

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV combines classic Rolls-Royce design elements with modern SUV proportions, launched in the UK as the brand's first luxury SUV.

The Cullinan's exterior features signature Rolls-Royce design cues including the iconic 'Pantheon' grille, rectangular LED headlights, and muscular proportions with 22-inch alloy wheels. The straight body lines extend to the rear where rectangular tail lights mirror the front design.

Inside, the Cullinan offers Phantom-level luxury with premium leather, real wood veneers and metal accents. While sharing design DNA with the Phantom, the SUV features a thicker steering wheel and slightly more compact dimensions.

As Rolls-Royce's flagship SUV in the UK market, the Cullinan competes with other luxury SUVs like the Bentley Bentayga and Range Rover SVAutobiography. The vehicle maintains Rolls-Royce's renowned craftsmanship while offering the practicality expected from a premium SUV.
