For the first time, the British company is aiming their latest car at a new demographic of "younger, very successful high-net-worth individuals" who have higher disposable income. "When Rolls-Royce announced three years ago that it would launch Cullinan, it did so in the knowledge that its customers around the world had asked it to build "The Rolls-Royce of SUVs', with luxury, performance and usability not seen before in the SUV market," explained the brand in a press release.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is Rolls-Royce as it's never seen before. When Sir Henry Royce said, "Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it," he could have had Cullinan in mind. It was clear that these new, younger and more adventurous customers wanted a Rolls-Royce. |
For the first time, a Rolls-Royce has an opening tailgate called 'The Clasp'. In a nod to the era when luggage was mounted on the exterior of the motor-car (so the occupants did not travel with their belongings) the rear profile of Cullinan is a two-part, 'D-Back' format, with the bustle denoting the place of the luggage. 'The Clasp' opens and closes in its two sections automatically at the touch of the key fob button.
The rear passenger compartment of Rolls-Royce Cullinan has been designed to offer the best seat in the house for the owner's particular needs. Two rear configurations are offered: Lounge Seats or Individual Seats. The Lounge Seat configuration is the more functional of the two options. With space for three passengers in the rear, it will likely be more attractive to families. The rear seats also fold down - a first for Rolls-Royce. |
