The Cullinan is a five-seater SUV, however, it does come with two benches at the rear which are electronically deployed to extend out of the car from the boot. The Cullinan comes with a standard 560-litre boot space which can be extended to 1,930-litres by further folding down the rear seats.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan offers a specific Off-Rode mode - ‘Everywhere'. This off-road mode can further be customised, depending on the terrain such as track, gravel, mud, sand or snow.

The SUV also offers a height adjustable suspension setup, which can lower up to 40mm allowing for easier ingress and egress. The adjustable suspension setup also helps the SUV during off-roading or in tricky terrains. It can also wade through 540mm of water, while the air suspension pushes down on any wheel it senses losing traction.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan is powered by a massive 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine. It produces 571bhp and 850Nm of peak torque and is mated to a ZF-Sourced eight-speed automatic transmission.
