2024 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Facelift Unveiled, Set to Arrive in India

Since its debut in 2018, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan has undergone its first mid-cycle refresh, introducing a renewed front fascia and interior enhancements. While the vehicle’s profile and rear design maintain continuity, the front now exudes a fresh, assertive aesthetic. Echoing BMW’s trendsetting design ethos, the British luxury marque forges its path with daring innovation. Additionally, Rolls-Royce has unveiled updates for the Cullinan Black Badge variant.

Major highlights:

• Rolls-Royce’s Cullinan Series II marks the refreshed rendition of the luxury marque’s top-selling vehicle today.
• Updated front features comprise reworked headlights, an illuminated ‘pantheon’ grille, and fresh air intakes.
• The interior showcases an illuminated dashboard panel with a cityscape graphic, alongside the introduction of the Spirit OS to the Cullinan.
• The recently introduced 23-inch wheels represent the largest wheel option offered for the Cullinan.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan Facelift: Redesigned Aesthetics

Unveiling a refreshed appearance, the Cullinan facelift introduces redesigned headlights, characterized by distinctive “fangs” as the LED daytime running lights elegantly extend into the bumper, forming an L-shape. Enhancing its regal stature, the Pantheon grille receives an illuminating upgrade, complemented by a brushed stainless-steel protective plate at the rear. A new front bumper contributes to the updated aesthetics. Noteworthy is the inclusion of 23-inch wheels, marking a departure from the standard since the model’s inception four years ago. Reflecting sophistication, Rolls-Royce presents the Emperador Truffle paint option, drawing inspiration from the luxurious allure of brown marble.

Interior Enhancements Inside the cabin, the interior design maintains its familiar allure while incorporating subtle updates. Notably, Rolls-Royce’s revered Spirit of Ecstasy figurine now adorns the dashboard, elegantly positioned beneath the analog clock. Adding a touch of sophistication, the upper dashboard section features a pillar-to-pillar glass panel. Furthermore, the Cullinan facelift introduces a new all-digital driver display, replacing the conventional instrument cluster with technology inspired by the Spectre model.

Additionally, Rolls-Royce offers the Cullinan facelift with Duality Twill upholstery, meticulously crafted from bamboo fibers. Remarkably, the upholstery entails approximately 2.2 million stitches, equivalent to 11 miles of thread, requiring painstaking 20-hour craftsmanship. Available in Lilac, Black, and Chocolate tones, the base twill textile is paired with a choice of 51 thread colors.

In line with the Ghost and Specter models, the Cullinan presents an illuminated dashboard fascia panel. It incorporates an illuminated Cullinan wordmark and a distinctive Cityscape graphic inspired by the nocturnal cityscapes of the world’s megacities. Achieving this effect involves a specialized process: 7,000 dots are laser-etched onto the rear of darkened and toughened security glass, each dot minutely differing in angles and dimensions to craft a sense of depth.

Rolls-Royce’s team has introduced a novel pattern inspired by the ever-changing formations and shadows of clouds above the brand’s home at Goodwood, available for the first time on a series model with the Cullinan facelift. This intricate design comprises up to 107,000 perforations, ranging in size from 0.8 to 1.2 millimeters. Each perforation undergoes meticulous inspection by a single artisan to ensure perfect uniformity.

Furthermore, the implementation of internet connectivity enables clients to access a Wi-Fi hotspot connection and enjoy independent streaming on each screen. Another first for the Cullinan is the ability to pair Bluetooth headphones of any kind with the rear seat infotainment system. Alternatively, clients can indulge in the marque’s exceptional 18-speaker Bespoke Audio system, enhanced by the latest generation 18-channel 1400-watt amplifier.

 

Completing the ensemble, the upgraded Cullinan maintains its 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine, coupled with an automatic transmission. This formidable engine produces 571PS and 850Nm of torque.
