Refreshed Rolls-Royce Cullinan ‘Series II’ Unveiled
Debuting this week are the 'Series II' refreshed iterations of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan (left) and Cullinan Black Badge (right).
The ultra-luxurious and top-selling Rolls-Royce Cullinan has been refreshed, debuting this week in its latest ‘Series II’ form. Accompanying alongside the standard version too is an updated iteration of its sportier and more visceral ‘Black Badge’ special.
There are no radical changes to report with the base Series II Cullinan and Black Badge, and both versions continue with their signature V12 hearts. The twin-turbocharged, 6.75-litre mill it now makes 563 HP in standard tune, or a peppier 592 HP and 900 NM in Black Badge guise.
The most visible change can be seen up front in both cars thanks to the revised LED headlights flanked by new LED DRLs that now droop downwards. New too is the lower front bumper assembly.
Changes on board are equally mild, but does see significant new touches like the upgraded tech, full-width glass panel on the dash, a host of new and improved cabin trims with new material choices.
As for styling, changes are visible, but mild so to speak. Up front, it now rocks a revised headlights set with new LED DRLs that droop downwards at each end. This, according to Rolls-Royce, was inspired by city skyscrapers. New too is the lower front bumper, as well as a back-lit pantheon grille.
On board, the Series II refresh sees the base Cullinan’s cabin sport a new full-width glass panel across the dashboard, with an illuminated cityscape motif in front of the passenger. If this looks familiar, then you’d be right – it’s all lifted from the Spectre EV coupe.
Another highlight is the new display 'cabinet' in the dash, which houses an intricately detailed analogue clock and a miniaturised, stainless steel version of the Spirit of Ecstasy ornament. Like the updated Phantom, the cabin’s digital display is now features integration with the brand’s exclusive Whispers app for owners.
New here too are material choices such as Grey Stained Ash wood, rayon fabric crafted out of bamboo used in the ‘Duality Twill’ interior option, perforated seat pattern mimicking clouds seen over the brand’s Goodwood base, and more.
Black Badge is easily denoted by its blacked-out pantheon grille, Spirit of Ecstasy, and window trims, followed by new mirror-effect black chrome treatment to the tailpipes, rear bumper and hatch trims.
On board, Black Badge also ditches traditional wood veneer for 'Technical Carbon Veneer' panels. There are 23 pieces in total, each taking 21 days to craft.
Over in the Black Badge, it now sports new black-finished pantheon grille, Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, as well as window trims – the last item being primed for the first time. The rear bumper and hatch trims, as well as the tailpipes are now treated in mirror-effect black chrome too. As for rolling stock, the Black Badge features 23-inch units.
On board, the Black Badge twin’s cabin gains the same upgraded display tech seen in the base version. There are minute differences, like the black-finished Spirit of Ecstasy in the clock, as well as the adoption of no less than 23 ‘Technical Carbon Veneer’ panels that each take 21 days to craft.
What also sets the Black Badge apart from its lesser base twin is its adoption of more aggressive throttle and transmission calibration, as well as shorter brake pedal travel.
Rolls-Royce didn’t disclose details on availability, but given this online debut announcement, we reckon any discerning UNHWI – emphasis on the ‘U’ – can start commissioning one already…
