Rolls Royce Cullinan 2018 review
Should I buy one?
Rolls thinks the off-road ability will be used a lot. We haven’t extended the full axle articulation, but did take it on steep tracks, across loose rocks, and icy paths, where it was convincingly unflustered. Rolls talks about the ‘last mile’ for drivers – that tricky bit at the end of a journey away from a road, to a ski resort, a desert lodge, a shoot, where owners will expect it to get them with some ease.
Ultimately, then, this big car is a Rolls-Royce at heart. Less outwardly dynamic but more comfortable than a Bentley and far more luxurious than the most expensive Range Rover. It looks like a Rolls-Royce, feels like one, drives like one and, at £250,000 before you start adding options, of which you can choose a lot, is priced like one. Controversial? Only, I suspect, for people who weren’t ever going to be interested anyway. If you want one, in its execution it hits the spot entirely.
