Rolls Royce Cullinan : Everything you need to know

Rolls Royce Cullinan 

"Off-roading cannot be done with luxury" was an old myth and it was broke by Land Rover and Bentley with their SUV models Range Rover and Bentayga, now Rolls Royce joins the SUV club with an Ultra Luxury SUV model named the "Cullinan". 3 years ago, Rolls Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos gave an introduction about the new luxury SUV. As said the company started developing the model and took long time for testing the car's stability and capabilities. On 10th May 2018 the company launched the Cullinan. The car looks stunning and it does add cool features of the company's tradition with the new Off-roading capability.

Cullinan is the first SUV from the Rolls Royce brand. Typically Cullinan breaks the company's tradition of manufacturing luxury sedans or saloons, but visually Cullinan resembles the company's traditional look. The Cullinan resembles it's base sedan model phantom in it's front but the rear slips a little in traditional appearance. Cullinan gets a panoramic with active cruise control. Cullinan gets one of the best traditional feature of Rolls Royce, that is the suicide doors. It's true the SUV comes with suicide doors. Cullinan means the largest diamond ever found, that stays true with the Rolls Royce Cullinan, as the car weighs 2660 kg.

Engine and Off-road features

As an SUV Cullinan gets a massive 6.75 litre V12 engine which produces 563 bhp and 850 Nm of torque. Cullinan gets an all wheel drive and with 4-wheel steering.

Cullinan gets single off-road mode, which can be enabled by pressing the "off-road" button on the central console. The off-road or "Everywhere" mode includes six customizations including rough track, gravel, wet grass, snow,sand or mud.The torque gets delivered at 1600 rpm for every wheel to maintain the stability of the car at lower rate. Cullinan's wading depth is 540mm that is 54cm. And it comes with height adjusting system that could lower the car 40mm when leveling is needed.

Features

Cullinan shares the platform of Rolls Royce Phantom, build with full metal body,that is aluminium space-frame. The car can lower itself 40mm for better ingress. The self-leveling air suspensions serves as an epitome in every Rolls Royce models for creating the most comfortable ride feeling, Cullinan is also equipped with same technology. As an all wheel drive car, the suspensions of the car makes number of calculations within milliseconds for adjusting the suspension and providing respective power required for the four wheels. 

Company claims that Cullinan is the World's first 3-box SUV, that is the cargo is separated from the cabin. The rear seats can be folded down for extra cargo room. The standard boot-space is 560 ltrs and can be expanded to 1930 ltrs. In addition Cullinan offers two extra seats in the boot, which is built into it's floor and can be deployed electrically . 

Cullinan includes additional safety features like collision, cross-traffic and lane departure warning systems. Sure the car is loaded with technology stuffs that include Wi-Fi hotspot, pedestrian and wildlife alert, active cruise control, head-up display, touch screens on front and back.

Cullinan comes with lots of cool features and off-roading capability. Sure it does costs a lot, the estimated price of the all new Rolls Royce Cullinan is 5crores in Indian Rupees. I'm not sure that Indian market will get the new SUV in this year. As first SUV of the company, the Cullinan is initially focused on countries with higher demand for SUVs. But yes Indian car market has high demand for SUVs. Another cool feature Cullinan offers is that the spirit of Ecstasy can be customized, either a metal or glass built model can be made for the Cullinan.

Porsche's Mission-E in India

Porsche's Mission-E in India 

India shows a rapid increase in buying luxury cars and hybrid or fully electric cars are called as Zero-emission Vehicle. Porsche have also joined the electric sports car manufacturer after displaying it's all electric model Mission-E in the 2015 Frankfurt Motor show. Porsche is planning to launch the model officially in the global market in 2019 and planning to launch the model in India in 2020.  

Porsche have seen a good increase in their sales in the Indian sports car market. Earlier the German manufacturer sold almost 400 units in India during the year of 2016, the company had an increase in their sales during the year of 2017 by selling nearly 430 units in the Indian market. Porsche 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster are some of the best selling models of the manufacturer in Indian market.

As India faced series mishaps in pollution issues during the Delhi fog, the country is keen in reducing the pollution in every aspects, buying or producing zero-emission vehicles is one of the ideas in reducing the pollution all over the country luckily Porsche have planned to enter the Zero-Emission Vehicle market in India at the right time.

Porsche has not yet released the full specifications of the car for the Indian market, but it is expected that the car will be delivering high performance level. The general specifications unveiled in the past includes, the model comes with the power of 600 bhp, it can do 0-60 mph within 3.5 seconds. Porsche have planned to produce 15,000 to 20,000 units per year. Porsche Mission-E is powered by two electric motors which can produce up to 440 kw (600 bhp).

It's good to drive an eco-friendly vehicle whether everyone likes it or not, but definitely it will be good for the driver's ears to drive a car which doesn't do a "braapp stutuu". But I love when cars do "braaapp stutu".
