Named for the largest diamond ever discovered, the 2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan is the pinnacle of luxury-SUV opulence. With a towering profile and a grille that resembles a Roman colonnade, the Cullinan won’t be confused for any other car on the road. The Cullinan features a cavernous interior with tons of headroom and legroom. The rear seats can be configured as a bench, or with individual captain’s chairs and a center console. It provides 21.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 68.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

Standard features on the Cullinan include 22-inch alloy wheels, dual-tone leather upholstery, quad-zone climate control, power opening and closing doors, and heated, power-adjustable front seats with a massaging function. The Cullinan also features a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A head-up display, 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, and 18-speaker Fender premium stereo are just the tip of the iceberg for the Cullinan’s content.

The Cullinan is also offered in the Black Badge Edition. It features 22-inch forged alloy wheels, black exterior accents, red brake calipers, and “Black Badge” illuminated door-sill kick plates. It also features Lambswool floor mats and a Rolls-Royce Bespoke stereo system.

The Cullinan is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 engine which produces 563 horsepower and 527 pound-feet of torque. The Black Badge version features the same engine, tuned to put out 600 horsepower. The Cullinan pairs this engine to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, routing power to all-wheel drive. When properly equipped, the Cullinan can tow up to 7,257 pounds. The Cullinan features Rolls-Royce’s Magic Carpet Ride adaptive air suspension. On the Black Badge, the suspension and transmission are retuned to make the Cullinan’s effortless ride quality feel a bit more engaging.

Fuel economy for the Cullinan is 12 mpg city, 20 highway, and 14 combined. As one might expect, premium fuel is required.

The 2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan has a starting price of $335,350. The Cullinan Black Badge starts at $385,000. Of course, the countless points of customization on the Cullinan can add tens of thousands to that price. The Cullinan is backed by a four-year/unlimited-mile powertrain warranty.
