With starting costs of Rs 10.50 crore for the regular version and Rs 12.25 crore for the Black Badge variant, Rolls-Royce has introduced the Cullinan facelift in India. In May of this year, the redesigned SUV—officially dubbed the Cullinan Series II—made its world premiere. Its interior has been changed, its technology is new, and its styling is fresh.

A full-width glass panel spans the cabin’s dashboard. The dash also receives a new display “cabinet,” behind which is a miniature, lit Spirit of Ecstasy mascot and an incredibly detailed analogue clock. The Cullinan is equipped with the most recent iteration of the Rolls’ Spirit infotainment system, which features updated displays and visuals and allows owners to customise the instrument panel colours to fit the upholstery or paint job.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan Facelift: Powertrain
The 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine powers the Cullinan facelift. It produces 600 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque on the Black Badge version and 571 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque on the ordinary variant. This engine is coupled to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which provides power to all four wheels.
The new Black Badge is Rs 4.05 crore more expensive than its predecessor (Rs 8.20 crore), and the upgraded Cullinan is about Rs 3.55 crore more costly than the outgoing pre-facelift Cullinan (Rs 6.95 crore). With no direct competitors in its price range, the Cullinan continues to hold its title as the priciest SUV in India. According to the automaker, Q4 of this year would see the start of Cullinan Series II deliveries in India.
