The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a full-sized luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV) manufactured by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars as the brand's first all-wheel drive vehicle.[4] It is named after the Cullinan Diamond, the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever discovered.[4]
The Cullinan sits above the Ghost and below the Phantom in Rolls-Royce's line,[5] with a starting price in the United States of approximately US$325,000 (£255,000).[4][6] It was unveiled in May 2018 at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Italy,[7] and launched globally at an Autumn press event later that year in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, US.[8][9]
Rolls-Royce announced the Cullinan Series II will begin production in August 2024 as a 2025 model year.[10]
