The Rolls-Royce Cullinan's interior has a different level of opulence
While most automotive brands were looking to expand on their offer of crossovers to meet the growing demand, Rolls-Royce worked hard on developing its first luxury SUV. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan arrived in 2019 as an embodiment of elegance, and it's still going strong despite the jaw-dropping price of over $300,000 (without any custom features). But the cost is the last concern of those who can afford to consider buying one Rolls-Royce ride.
Named after the world's largest uncut diamond, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is every bit precious as its name suggests. With a twin-turbo 6.7-liter V12 engine that produces 563 horsepower and allows drivers to get from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, this SUV is very special, to say the least — especially if you consider its weight of about 2.6 tons. But alongside impressive and smooth driving experience, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan also provides unmatched styling inside out.
As we expected from Rolls-Royce, the Cullinan was all refined and sleek outside from the start. Of course, we also anticipated the interior would be full of luxurious and top-quality features, but this SUV has exceeded our expectations in this area. Let's take a peek inside Rolls-Royce Cullinan's interior together, so you can see what we mean.

The Cullinan is definitely Rolls-Royce's child, featuring all those fancy materials inside the cabin. Lined in box grain leather, complimented with lamb's wool carpeting, and enriched with beautiful wood and milled aluminum accents, the interior of this SUV is simply amazing. But the top-notch quality materials are not the only thing Rolls-Royce Cullinan offers.
As a five-seater, this SUV offers exceptional passenger space and traveling comfort. With the front seats providing heated and massaging functionality and memory settings, and the rear ones expanding higher for more convenience, all occupants are sure to enjoy their time inside the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The tilting, retracting sunroof also adds to the entire traveling experience.
We particularly like that the back seats fold flat (on a single push of a button) for more cargo area. There's also a glass partition between the luggage compartment and rear passengers, which is probably the first such option in a luxury SUV.
So, when inside the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, you're sure to have a splendid time, whether you're the driver or the passenger. One thing we definitely recommend trying if you get this SUV is the massaging feature and a drink from the Champagne cooler or whiskey decanter in the center console.

As timeless as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan may look, there's no lack of advanced and modern tech features to keep you safe and entertained. At the center console is a large touchscreen infotainment system with a controller to help you navigate all these features, including Apple CarPlay, wireless charging and mirroring, navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and more. Here, you'll also find advanced driver-assistance tech at your disposal.
The passengers in the rear can also have their share of fun when you opt for 12-inch screens to be placed on the back of the front seats. With this option, everyone can play what they like the most, and all will enjoy a premium audio system with 18 speakers. How neat is that?
But of course, if you desire more personalization and features, you can always add them during the vehicle build. Rolls-Royce offers a lot of extras to meet every buyer's personal taste.
We just couldn't let ourselves finish this brief overview of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan's interior without mentioning those custom-tailored and advanced features you can opt for during the vehicle build. Firstly, you can choose between five primary interior color schemes and paint various parts in different colors at your wish, such as doors, seat inserts, armrests, and more. Secondly, you can play around with seat configuration and leather detailing until you get a perfect match, though we think every option is as luxurious as possible.
Rolls-Royce also allows you to customize the center console by picking perfect materials (we would go with the wood), coating the steering wheel, and choosing a clock in your favorite shade of gray and blue. Tread plates with extravagant variations of "Cullinan" lettering are there to boost the interior's appearance even more, as well as the lambswool foot mats, advanced multimedia and driver-assistance packages, and more. In fact, we recommend checking Rolls-Royce Cullinan's personalization options straight on the official website because there are too many of them to fit into this article.
In the end, we only want to mention the wonderful viewing suite that appears in the boot at a touch of a button. The suite contains two leather seats and a cocktail table you can enjoy outdoors for an outstanding experience in the city or nature. Oh, and did we mention that you can custom tailor the umbrella your Rolls-Royce Cullinan keeps inside the door?
