The Cullinan will be not just the brand\u2019s debut SUV but its flagship model too, costing around \u00a3230,000, when it launches around the turn of 2019. It\u2019ll also be the first Roller with a tailgate, as well as the first model Rolls-Royce has been comfortable calling \u2018family orientated\u2019. In fact there are all sorts of terms peppering the model\u2019s press release we haven\u2019t seen before, such as \u2018fun to drive\u2019 and \u2018versatile\u2019.PerformanceUnder the bonnet will be a 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 petrol engine, blasting out 563bhp and up to 850Nm of torque to all four wheels, suggesting that only major natural disasters will stand in the Cullinan\u2019s way.We don\u2019t know how quick it\u2019ll be off the mark with Rolls yet to reveal a 0-62mph sprint time, but a top speed of 155mph has been confirmed. A combined fuel consumption of 18.8mpg suggests performance has been a particular area of focus – as if any Rolls-Royce owner is fussed about fuel economy anyway…DesignAnyone who thought the Bentley Bentayga was an intimidating hulk are likely to feel similarly overwhelmed, with the Cullinan stretching for 5,341mm at 2,164mm wide and 1,835mm high. It shouldn\u2019t be surprising that a car this massive weighs in excess of two-and-a-half tonnes (2,660kg).Rolls\u2019 designers poured five years into styling the Cullinan and the brand has effectively fired shots at every other SUV out there, saying the Cullinan\u2019s \u2018contemporary, functional\u2019 look \u2018gains iconic status in the face of increasingly bland SUV designs\u2019. Ouch!InteriorThe interior is as impressive as you\u2019d want too, with the cabin awash with the very best woods, leathers and metals.ReleaseA date for first deliveries hasn\u2019t been confirmed yet, but we could see the Cullinan on UK roads around late 2018\/early 2019.What do you think of Rolls\u2019 mega-luxury mudplugger?
