Bentley raised eyebrows at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show when it introduced the all-new Bentayga, its first-ever off-roader. It was a controversial model. Purists accepted it, haters stopped howling, and the Bentayga now stands out as Bentley’s most popular model in key markets like the United States and China. Former sister company and current arch-enemy Rolls-Royce
has finally revealed its own SUV to compete in the same ring with the Bentayga.
No need to borrow from the Germans
Named Cullinan, the SUV rides on a platform designed in-house. This ends the rumors claiming it would share its architecture with the upcoming
BMW X7. The luxury vehicle rides on an all-new aluminium “Architecture of Luxury” platform, and Rolls-Royce calls it “the most technologically advanced, and only purpose-built, luxury SUV in the world.” The underpinnings can be scaled to accommodate future Rolls-Royce models.
