Used Rolls Royce Cullinan for sale: everything you need to know

The Rolls Royce Cullinan takes its name from the largest diamond ever found so, as you may imagine, this is all about premium luxury – something the brand is known for. This is one of the longer cars out there with all the ride quality you'd expect which makes this an ideal chauffeur vehicle, or a very enjoyable executive car. That said, at this size, it's a viable family car if you can stretch to it.

Classed as an SUV, this first launched in 2018 and still holds to the front-engine four-wheel drive setup with a whopping 6.75-litre V12 petrol engine charging everything along. But with a kerb weight of 2,660 KG, don't expect it to be super fast even with that mighty engine. 

Featuring an eight-speed automatic gearbox this is built to waft along with pure comfort and style, with minimal effort for the driver. There is one model or trim and it comes with everything you could want, and more. But since this brand is all about personalisation there is lots of choice on colours externally, materials internally and more – so expect there to be a nice variety of used models on the market.

Key rivals for the Rolls Royce Cullinan include the shorter Bentley Bentayga and more affordable Range Rover as well as the sporty Aston Martin DBX, Audi Q7 or Porsche Cayenne.

Should you buy a used Rolls Royce Cullinan?

The Rolls Royce Cullinan is a great option for anyone who wants premium luxury, comfort and a whole lot of room in their car. If you want a head turning car, sat on 22-inch alloys, that sounds as powerful with that 6.75-litre V12 as it makes you feel sitting in all the leather luxury, this is the car for you.

Launched in 2018, this is still a relatively young model for the long-time luxury brand. As such even older versions of this car can be expected to offer top-line infotainment and driving smarts as standard.

That engine, at 6.75-litres, isn't going to win any awards for fuel consumption but it will help to move this 2.5 plus ton collection of comforts about with grace. Combined with that eight-speed auto gearbox and four-wheel drive, this should make for comfort and control in all conditions – including off-road thanks to a mode dedicated to that. Combined with a dynamic suspension system that can raise and lower by 40mm, this is every bit the SUV its title claims it to be.

There are only two options to pick from in the Cullinan and the Cullinan Black Badge. The second is a special edition that is performance based with the same engine but tuned to offer more power – plus all the exterior is painted black including the Spirit of Ecstacy badge.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan uses a self levelling air suspension system to ensure the ride is smooth and comfortable consistently. That makes this a great chauffeur car option that actually uses cameras to scan the road and adapt suspension to suit, taking the work out of it for the driver.

What’s the best used Rolls Royce Cullinan model to buy?

The Rolls Royce Cullinan comes in that original version and the special edition Rolls Royce Cullinan Black Edition. The standard model offers lots of options with external and internal colours, lots of materials and personalisation available. So while there aren't trims to speak of, you can expect the used market to have a wide variety of options that reflect the different tastes catered to.

All seats are leather while appliances are wooden. There is even a "cocktail suit" consisting of leather camping seats on the tailgate complete with footrest. This car also features a glass partition between the luggage compartment and the passenger section. 

The Cullinan Black Badge is all black on the outside and has an engine with higher performance output. Even the internal leather is directly matched to the black of the external colours for consistency throughout.
