Does the world need a Rolls Royce SUV? Apparently so because this car, the Cullinan, is sold out for years ahead. It's the first model of this kind that the brand has produced and, perhaps a little more surprisingly, the first to feature 4WD. That set up is BMW-derived but the bespoke aluminium space frame the huge body sits upon isn't - Rolls wants to move away from the Munich maker's architecture. Unsurprisingly, the company hasn't engineered this model for Range Rover-rivalling off road prowess. Instead it's intended for what the company calls 'the lost mile' element of journeys - the awkward final bit of a multi-millionaire's journey to his ski lodge or partridge shoot. Ultimately, this was always going to be a controversial car. But is it a good one? Let's find out...
Rolls Royce is unphased by the mixed reaction this car has received, pointing to a bulging order book and an almost universally favourable reaction from loyal customers who've been waiting years to replace their Range Rovers with something more upmarket. If you don't like the Cullinan, it's likely that it wasn't aimed at you anyway. If you do, then no other super-luxury SUV will satisfy you as much. There is after all, quite simply no other car of this kind that can transport you with greater luxury and refinement, No other SUV makes as important a statement of your net wealth. And no other 4x4 offers the kind of craftsmanship and exclusivity that sets this one apart. Which means that if you have the means to buy a Cullinan, you might well be the kind of person who'll find this car difficult to resist.
