Even before the official show of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover, it was dubbed the main competitor of the Bentley Bentayga. After the official presentation of the British novelty, the competitor immediately lost the status of the most expensive and luxurious crossover in the world, passing the title to the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019. Despite the big difference in price, cars still remain competitors and therefore there is something to compare with, and why strives.

For the first time, the British manufacturer started talking about the project of creating a completely new Cullinan crossover back in 2015, showing the concept of the car and individual characteristics. There were many rumors that before the official show the name of the model would be changed, attaching it to one of the already known cars of this brand, but over time, the manufacturer abandoned this idea, leaving everything as it was.

The new British crossover Cullinan 2019 got its name in honor of the largest diamond in the world, also known as the "Star of Africa", found before 1996. According to the data, the mass of the Cullinan diamond was 3106.75 carats or 621.35 grams. The diamond was found in 1905 in the Premier mine and named after the owner Thomas Cullinan. The name of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover stands for luxury and equipment.

Exterior of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019

The appearance of the new crossover Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 is made in the style of the manufacturer. As many say, the designers installed the Phantom sedan body on a crossover platform. On the other hand, it only seems to be and the appearance of individual details reminds of the legends of the brand, inside the car has received a completely new design.

The front end of the new 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan resembles the Phantom sedan in many ways, with a modified front bumper. The radiator grill, as before, is monolithic, chrome-plated with many vertical inserts. The upper part of the radiator grille border is adorned with the company's corporate emblem, while the very top of the front end is decorated with the signature Spirit of Ecstasy statuette. As in the legendary Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan, the statuette can be made of silver, gold or rare crystal. The emblem protection system has been improved, improving the response speed of the system and sensors.

In terms of dimensions, the radiator grille of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover is not so large, the lower part even became an order of magnitude smaller. The front optics of the crossover also migrated from the sedan. Without options and regardless of the configuration of the crossover, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 optics are matrix, adaptive based on LEDs. To give the optics a more austere style, the background was made black, highlighting the top with LED daytime running lights.

The lower part of the front of the Cullinan 2019 crossover was highlighted with a large bumper, with many sensors, sensors and other stylish elements. Immediately under the optics, two rectangular air ducts were placed, several more of the same holes were added in the lower part of the bumper. The very center is reserved for the radar, a couple of sensors and other sensors of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 safety systems. To give the pseudo sedan, crossover style, the very bottom of the bumper was decorated with engine protection, it is also a splitter to improve aerodynamic performance.

The style and character similar to the sedan is transferred to the hood and windshield of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover. The characteristic elevation with two chopped lines to the front pillars remained on the hood of the crossover. The 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan windshield is fully heated, including a heated glass washer fluid system.

From the side, the car truly looks more like a crossover than a luxury sedan. The front and rear wheel arches of the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan are large, giving the manufacturer all this luxury on 22 ″ branded alloy wheels. On request, the buyer can install larger diameter discs. The front fenders of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 were decorated with a turn signal and a branded chrome badge.

The big similarity of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 with the Phantom sedan, and many other cars of the brand - these are the doors, as before, the front doors open according to the standard, but the rear doors open against the movement, that is, in the opposite direction, relative to the front doors. Door handles, metal, chrome-plated with keyless entry system. To open the doors of the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, simply press a button on the doorknob. It is just as easy to close the doors, you can use the usual method by pulling the handle, or by pressing a button, then the electronics will perform all the actions for you (available only for the rear doors). The designers decorated the bottom of the doors of the Cullinan 2019 crossover with metal chrome moldings.

The upper side of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover is designed for three windows, two movable and one deaf. The frame around the windows in all trim levels of the crossover is only chrome-plated. More attention is attracted by the side mirrors of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019. Instead of the usual location in the corner of the glass, the designers moved them to the door body, lifting them on vertical fasteners.

In short, the mirrors of the crossover turned out to be separate and at 90 degrees. The body of the mirrors is painted in the same color as the body, the complete set of mirrors, as it should be, is the richest. The set of all configurations includes electric adjustment, automatic folding, heated memory for several tuning modes. The lower part of the mirror housing is adorned with side cameras, illumination with a projection of the emblem on the ground and a pair of sensors for the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan safety systems.

The body color of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 will not be worse than a sedan, and even an order of magnitude better with a couple of new shades, available as standard:

• the black;
• white;
• coffee;
• silver;
• red;
• dark green;
• blue;
• dark gray metallic (new shade);
• burgundy metallic (new shade).

Also, the buyer is not limited in the choice of the individual color of the body of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019. One thing that limited the buyer is the choice between chrome and black color of exterior parts, most of them are only chrome-plated.

The rear of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover has been modified by the designers, while in some details you can easily recognize the features of the sedan. To make the car look like a crossover, the designers reduced the protrusion of the sedan's luggage compartment, turning it into a trunk lid. Where the glass is located, the trunk lid got a slope, the rest of the chopped. The very top is decorated with a small sports spoiler with LED stop signal.

An interesting fact, on the official website, the manufacturer offers to install a trailed one as an option, but how relevant it will be for the most expensive crossover in the world is anyone's guess.

The peak of attention falls on the end part of the trunk of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019. On the sides, on the crossover body, designers have placed expressive LED feet, emphasizing the formidable style of the car. By design, they are the same as in the sedan, but in shape they have changed slightly, adjusting them to the style of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover. Opening the trunk lid, as a rule, can be done electronically, but manual mode is also possible.

It was in the trunk lid of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover that many modern improvements and technologies were hidden, which were not previously even in the legendary Phantom sedan. The trunk lid of the crossover, in fact, consists of two upper parts, it is also the main one and the lower one, additional. By opening the lower part from under a specially designed shelf, two additional chairs and a small table can be pulled out electronically. Thus, organizing a small picnic area for two behind the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover.

The luggage compartment of the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan crossover is stuffed with modern systems and functions, which significantly distinguishes it from the classic sedan. The lower rear part of the crossover is decorated with a bumper, as many say, similar to the bumper of the new Range Rover.The bumper itself protrudes above the main body of the body, the bottom of the bumper is decorated with two tips of the exhaust system and protection in the center of the bumper. The rear of the crossover has turned out to be peculiar, which gives the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 a special style.

The final feature of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 is the roof. Regardless of the car option chosen, the designers completed the car with a panoramic view, with a sliding front end. In this regard, the car has become an order of magnitude richer than the usual Phantom sedan, which also raised the cost of the novelty by an order of magnitude. The back of the roof is decorated with a shark fin antenna.

In total, the appearance of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover is unique in its kind. The package, style and design are truly created for the most expensive crossover in the world, especially when the exterior has absorbed the features of the legendary Phantom sedan.

The interior of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019

Unlike the exterior, the interior of the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan crossover is not at all the same as that of the sedan. Some interior details are still similar to their counterparts, but with revision or new functions. For the first time on this crossover, the manufacturer used a 12.25 ″ touchscreen display of a multimedia system with rotary protection, while earlier all displays were stationary, without protection. Thus, it turns out that initially the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 panel is flat, and users see the protective display cover, after turning on the ignition, the plug automatically goes under the upper part of the panel.

As it should be for cars of this class, the Apple CarPlay operating system served as the basis for the multimedia of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019, and a stylized OS can be installed specifically for this model. Immediately below the display, there was an audio control panel and a selection of one of the CD changers. The company's traditional round mechanical watch was moved to the front passenger panel, although it would be better to place it right under the multimedia. An interesting move was made by the designers of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019, placing two huge air ducts in the center of the main console, a pair of security buttons and the main multimedia selector. In fact, most of the seat of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 console is empty, below is the control panel for four-zone climate control, as well as heated and cooled seats. This is where the central part of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 panel ends, immediately passing into the central tunnel.

The central tunnel of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover deserves special attention. It was completely developed from scratch, since the manufacturer did not show anything like this before. The very beginning is reserved for the charging panel from the USB port, wireless Qi charging and 12V, all this is hidden behind a special plug decorated with wood. Moving on, is the suspension and transmission control panel. It is clear that for such a Roll-Royce Cullinan 2019 the most modern automatic transmission ZF is installed.

Also, the user can choose one of the suspension modes of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019, ride height control (it starts from 15 cm), and the style of movement. In addition to the suspension, the manufacturer offers control of safety and comfort systems. The central tunnel ends with a large armrest, thought out to the smallest detail for the comfort of driving the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019. Inside the armrest there is a small compartment with a cooling function and a separate compartment for recharging gadgets. On the back of the shelf there is a climate control panel, a pair of air ducts and a USB port. It would seem that the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan crossover is the most expensive and should be something unusual, but in fact, designers bring the expensive brand closer to more conventional options.

As for the interior of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover, in particular, the seats were not developed, but completely transferred from the sedan, slightly adjusted to the size of the crossover. The first row stands out for its luxurious style and a wide range of functions. Both the top and bottom have good lateral support, and the head restraints can be adjusted in height and angle, as standard, all front seats of the Cullinan 2019 are equipped with electric adjustment, massage, heating and cooling.

The seats of the second row of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 turned out to be an order of magnitude more luxurious. The standard version is designed for seating 3 passengers, the manufacturer has installed two stationary head restraints and one retractable one. An armrest is hidden in the center of the back of the Cullinan 2019, with a good set of functions. The set of armrests for the second row of seats is very diverse, from simple to top-end. The manufacturer suggests adding a large refrigerator compartment for a couple of bottles of champagne, as well as a pair of branded glasses without a rock crystal leg.

The 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan crossover painted in Darkest Tungsten (dark gray) will receive two second-row captain's seats, separated by a large tunnel. Unlike the usual version, this package contains all the most modern comfort features, including an ottoman for the legs. Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 central tunnel configuration is ordered separately by the buyer and can be made in any style.

One thing is for sure, for the first time in so many years of car production, in the new Cullinan 2019, the second row of seats can be folded down, and the floor will level itself out. Folding is automatic and displayed on the center display, the second row can be folded from the main display or from a button in the luggage compartment of the crossover. For the convenience of second-row passengers, the luggage compartment of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 is separated not only by the usual curtain, but also by armored glass, and an active noise reduction system is used to reduce noise. There is plenty of room for passengers in the second row, which allows the rear seats to be maximized, and this is a huge plus when traveling long distances.

The designers used only the highest quality and natural materials as the material for the interior trim of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019. According to the standard, the buyer is offered to cover the interior with high-quality Nappa leather, with Alcantara inserts. Also, if desired, the buyer can order the interior trim of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 entirely from Alcantara, or choose at his own discretion.

The interior colors of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 can be standard or customer-selected, according to the standard:

1. the black;
2. brown;
3. white;
4. beige;
5. burgundy.

The designers used natural mahogany, olive and other expensive woods as a decoration for the interior decoration of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019. To give a special character, along the entire perimeter, including individual elements of the front panel, as well as boxes in the doors and door handles, the designers installed LED lighting. The color and brightness of the interior lighting of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 can be selected on the multimedia display.

The final touch to the interior of the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan crossover should be placed in the driver's seat. Designers have finalized it, collecting all the best from the existing cars of the company. The basis is a modern digital panel with a 12.3 ″ color display, exactly the same display was installed on the previously presented Phantom 2019. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 dash display, although digital, but the style itself is more classic, it displays round dial gauges, but if necessary, all the necessary information is displayed in digital mode.

The steering wheel of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover, as in most models, is designed for three spokes, two of which are reserved for functional control buttons. A few more buttons are installed on the arc between the side knitting needles and the bottom one. The Cullinan 2019 steering wheel is electronically only adjustable in depth and height. The sporty character of the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan crossover can be seen behind the wheel, starting from the basic configuration, with gearshift paddles.

The 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan crossover interior is another unique style on the list of the British brand. To the extent that new technologies arrive, the manufacturer will introduce them into the new crossover.

Specifications of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019

Unlike sedans, the 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan's specs differ significantly. It is enough that the suspension is non-pneumatic and can independently lower by 40 mm when passengers board, after landing, return to the original setting position.Due to this design, the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover is capable of ford, with a depth of up to 540 mm.

The 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan engine and gearbox variety is not very large. There is only one engine and one intelligent four-wheel drive transmission available.

While the manufacturer does not direct the exact data on the clearance of the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 crossover, it only sets limits from and to the maximum ford depth. As for the all-wheel drive of the crossover, the engineers organized this using an all-wheel drive transmission, where the clutch connects to front-wheel drive, which means rear-wheel drive according to the Rolls-Royce Cullinan 2019 standard.
