We’ve seen Rolls Royce testing the upcoming Cullinan
SUV before but this time our spies managed to take a peek inside as well.
Despite the dashboard being mostly covered, you can
make out the square lines of the dashboard, a typical trade of Rolls Royce’s
interior design. Of course the BMW steering wheel is fitted for testing
purposes only, with a proper thin-rimmed item to be installed in the production
Cullinan.
Rolls Royce’s first SUV will borrow a lot of cues
from the latest Phantom inside but there are going to be some differences, with
the most obvious one to be the center console between the seats which in the
Cullinan appears to have a more conventional look. It appears that the
instrument binnacle will feature RR's traditional analog clocks mixed with a
digital display for other information.
Underneath its massive bodywork, the new Cullinan
will use the bespoke aluminum architecture found in the Phantom, only in this
case being shorter and taller for obvious reasons.
Power will come from a twin-turbo 6.75-liter V12
engine which in the case of the Phantom produces 563 hp and 663 lb-ft so expect
similar figures in the Cullinan and of course the addition of a new all-wheel
drive system.
The signature suicide rear doors will of course be
present while the interior comfort and luxury is expected to redefine the terms
for everyone lucky enough to sit inside. Rolls Royce is expected to reveal the
new Cullinan in 2018.
