Rolls-Royce has introduced the Cullinan Series II in India, featuring an upgraded design and a Black Badge version for a more intense driving experience.

The models Cullinan Series II and Black Badge Cullinan Series II can be commissioned by clients at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chennai and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars New Delhi, with price starting from Rs.10.50 crore and Rs.12.25 crore respectively.

Rolls Royce Cullinan Series II: Interior
The most significant change to the car’s design is the new glass-panel fascia that stretches across the upper dashboard, combining elegant aesthetics with both digital and physical craftsmanship.
The Cullinan Series II features enhanced connectivity, especially for rear passengers, who can now connect up to two streaming devices to their screens. These screens include a Bespoke interface for managing functions like massage, heating, and cooling. The car offers a Wi-Fi hotspot and allows independent streaming on each screen. Additionally, bluetooth headphones can be paired with the rear infotainment system, or passengers can enjoy the premium 18-speaker Bespoke Audio system, powered by a 1400-watt amplifier. Plus, the speaker design uses the car’s aluminium sill sections as resonance chambers, turning the entire vehicle into a subwoofer for rich sound.
The model introduces an illuminated fascia panel, a modern design feature first seen in the Ghost and Spectre models. This panel showcases an illuminated “Cullinan” wordmark and a unique cityscape graphic inspired by the nighttime skylines of major cities. It also features 7,000 laser-etched dots on darkened security glass, giving a sense of depth. The illuminated fascia motif can be customised by clients.
Integrating the Spirit of Ecstasy into the car’s interior took four years of collaboration between analog and digital craftsmen; it first lit from below, like a spotlight, before settling into a gentle glow. This illumination starts with the driver’s display as the car is entered, followed by the central information display and the illuminated fascia, which directs light towards the timepiece.
Rolls Royce Cullinan Series II: Origin
Launched in 2018, the original Cullinan is known to be one of the first super-luxury SUVs, combining genuine off-road capabilities with Rolls-Royce’s renowned comfort and smooth ride. Based on the positive global reception, Rolls-Royce developed the Cullinan Series II, incorporating five years of client feedback and new technologies to adapt to evolving luxury standards while maintaining the key qualities that made the original so popular.
