Cullinan (2019 to Present)

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan, manufactured globally since 2019, stands as the marque’s most successful pivot into the modern era, blending the brand’s "Magic Carpet Ride" with the high-riding versatility of a 2.7-tonne super-luxury SUV. In the 2026 Australian market, the model has just undergone its most significant evolution with the arrival of the Series II, which introduces a bolder, more vertical front fascia and an illuminated "Pantheon" grille designed to echo the shimmering skyscrapers of the world’s mega-cities. While it remains a definitive underdog to its competitors such as the Ferrari Purosangue or Lamborghini Urus in terms of raw lap times, the Cullinan holds an untouchable position for those who prioritise "waftability" and the effortless torque of the 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12. The local buyer pool has notably shifted in 2026 toward a younger, more active demographic with an average age of 43, many of whom prefer to take the wheel themselves rather than being chauffeured, leading to a surge in desirability for the more aggressive Black Badge variants. These sportier models, often finished in "Crystal Over" paint and featuring "Duality Twill" bamboo-fibre interiors, are highly coveted for their high-gloss black detailing and increased performance. Consequently, the market value of the Cullinan remains exceptionally high in Australia, as the Series II is widely recognised as the final V12-powered chapter before the brand’s 2030 transition to full electrification, securing its status as a landmark asset for the nation’s elite collectors.
