Facelifted Rolls Royce Cullinan Gets DRL ’Stache, Lit Grille And Goodwood Clouds On The Seats

Rolls Royce was hardly quick to market with the original Cullinan, but even so, the top-end SUV segment has changed a lot since 2018. Pretty much every premium carmaker pushes the boundaries of luxury, and brands like Ferrari and Aston Martin threw their hat into the ring.

It’s the perfect time then for Rolls Royce to facelift the grandest SUV of them all.There’s nothing radical to report about the changes to the base Cullinan Series II and its sporty Black Badge brother, which is great in its own way, because it means both versions continue with V12 power. The twin-turbo motor makes 563 hp (570 PS) in standard tune and 592 hp (600 PS) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque in Black Badge guise.Related: Mansory’s Latest Rolls-Royce Cullinan Gives Steampunk VibesBut the facelift does bring plenty of detail changes that reflect what Rolls has learned about the people buying its most popular model.

One of these things is that Cullinans spend a lot of time in the city, most are now driven by the owner, and customers are, by Rolls Royce standards incredibly young, at just 43. Ever get the feeling that you’re under-achieving?Visually, the new SUV is easily identifiable by its drooping mustached-shaped DRLS that frame the square front end and are, Rolls says, inspired by city skyscrapers.
