Rolls-Royce has launched the Cullinan facelift, officially known as the Cullinan Series II, in India at a starting price of ₹10.50 crore for the standard version and ₹12.25 crore for the Black Badge variant.

After its global debut in May 2024, the luxury SUV has now reached the Indian market. The facelifted model features updated styling, a refined interior, and upgraded technology, making it significantly more expensive than its predecessor.

The Cullinan continues to hold its title as the most expensive SUV in India, with no direct competitors at its price point. Rolls-Royce has confirmed that deliveries of the Cullinan Series II in India will begin in Q4 2024.

Exterior and Interior Design Updates

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II receives a refreshed design that enhances its already imposing presence. At the front, the SUV features slimmer headlamps with L-shaped LED DRLs extending to the bumper. The grille has been slightly redesigned, and the bumper has also been updated. The facelifted Cullinan boasts new wheels, while the rear bumper has been restyled to incorporate a stainless-steel skid plate.

Inside, the Cullinan facelift introduces a full-width glass panel across the dashboard, giving the cabin a sleek, modern look. The dashboard also includes a new display ‘cabinet’ that houses an intricate analogue clock and a miniaturised, illuminated Spirit of Ecstasy mascot. The SUV is equipped with the latest version of Rolls-Royce’s Spirit infotainment system, which offers enhanced graphics, displays, and personalization options. Owners can even customise the instrument panel’s colors to match the vehicle's exterior paint or upholstery.

Powertrain and Specifications

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan facelift retains its 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, which produces 571 hp and 850 Nm of torque in the standard version and 600 hp and 900 Nm of torque in the Black Badge variant. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
