Rolls-Royce has updated its best-selling Cullinan SUV, six years after launch, with new styling, an overhauled interior, updated technology and a wealth of new options.
The updated Cullinan is expected to raise the base price slightly to around £330,000 by introducing new technology and evolved styling while offering ever more extensive personalisation options.
Rolls-Royce design chief Anders Warming said he focused on emphasising the "verticality" of the high-sided luxury SUV for the facelift, with the company drawing a link between the Cullinan's bluff, towering proportions and the "illuminated skyscrapers in the megacities where Cullinan is increasingly at home".
Warming told Autocar: "We wanted to have a more sheer aesthetic, a more modern, monolithic appearance in the front. That being said, we didn't want it to be like a wall either."
To that end, the LED daytime running lights now run down the edges of the fascia, joining with a new lower bumper arrangement that's angled up at the sides to give the effect of a yacht breaking through water.
