Rolls-Royce Project
Cullinan
Rolls-Royce is refusing
to dub its upcoming crossover, codenamed Project Cullinan SUV. The firm's
global production communications manager Andrew Boyle told Motoring that the
vehicle is not considered an SUV. Instead, he says it's a high-sided vehicle.
It was originally thought
that Rolls-Royce would directly rival its latest model against the Bentley
Bentayga, offering both incredible performance and sheer opulence. That doesn't
seem to be the case however, with Boyle going on to state that the model will
be completely unlike anything else currently on the market.
For now, we know that
Project Cullinan is underpinned by an aluminum architecture set to support the
next-generation Phantom. This platform will be capable of accommodating
electric powertrains but it isn't currently clear when Rolls-Royce intends to
offer electrification to its models.
