Rolls-Royce, the British luxury carmaker, has unveiled an improved version of its Cullinan SUV, known as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II. The facelifted Cullinan Series II, which features significant visual and interior tweaks, aims to raise the bar for super-luxury SUVs. The manufacturer is currently accepting orders for the Cullinan Series II. It is expected that the new model will be more expensive than the outgoing one, which retailed for Rs 6.95 crore (ex-showroom, before extras). The higher price tag can be attributed to the SUV's exceptional craftsmanship and cutting-edge features. Read on to learn more.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II: Design Details
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II has a redesigned appearance that is distinguished by unique styling elements.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II: Interior Updates
Coming to the interior, the Cullinan Series II's dashboard style and layout are almost unchanged from the original. Nevertheless, the Series II has a pillar-to-pillar glass panel fascia. Rolls-Royce claims that the illuminated dash panel with its cityscape graphic, which faces the front passenger, was inspired by the skyscrapers of the world's megacities at night. The dual-screen configuration—one for the infotainment system and the other for the digital instrument display—and the addition of Rolls' Spirit operating system, which made its debut on the all-electric Spectre, are other updates for the Series II.
Spirit, a feature that has been added to a V12 Rolls for the first time, will allow customers to change the instrument dial colour to match the interior or exterior colour scheme of their Cullinan. Moreover, customers may share destinations with the SUV directly through Whispers, a special app for Rolls owners, and track its location in addition to enabling remote car locking. There are now dedicated screens for rear seat occupants that have an interface for managing content streaming along with seat massage, heating, and cooling features.
The back seat screens on the Series II can be coupled with any kind of Bluetooth headphones, and each screen can stream content independently thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity. The clock cabinet, which holds an illuminated stainless steel Spirit of Ecstasy figurine and an analogue clock, is a further update to the Cullinan Series II. Besides, there are now fresh options for upholstery and trim finishes, such as Duality Twill, a rayon fabric derived from bamboo, and grey stained ash, a grained, natural open-pore wood.
