For car lovers and luxury enthusiasts, the Cullinan is the ultimate dream machine. In India, it is already a favorite among billionaires and Bollywood stars. With the launch of the Series II, the British carmaker has raised the bar even higher.

Here is everything you need to know about the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II, its price in India, and the famous Indians who are already buying it.

What is New in Series II?

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan was first launched in 2018. The new “Series II” is a facelift (update) that makes the car look more modern and aggressive.

1. Exterior Design Changes

The biggest change is in the front. The car now features L-shaped LED daytime running lights that drop down to the bumper. The famous Pantheon grille is now illuminated (it lights up at night), giving it a bold presence. The front bumper has a new design that looks like a yacht’s bow. For the first time, the Cullinan also gets massive 23-inch alloy wheels.

2. Interior Updates

Inside, the luxury is on another level. The dashboard now has a glass panel fascia that runs across the width. A cool new feature is the “Clock Cabinet”—a small glass case on the dashboard that holds a mini Spirit of Ecstasy statue and an analog clock.

Rolls-Royce has also introduced a new material called “Duality Twill.” This is a special fabric made from bamboo that uses over 2.2 million stitches. It takes 20 hours just to complete the embroidery!

Engine and Performance

Under the hood, the mechanicals remain powerful and smooth. The Cullinan Series II is powered by the legendary 6.75-litre Twin-Turbo V12 engine.

• Power: 571 hp (Standard) / 600 hp (Black Badge)
• Torque: 850 Nm (Standard) / 900 Nm (Black Badge)

Despite weighing over 2.5 tonnes, the car drives like a “Magic Carpet.” It can handle rough Indian roads easily because of its advanced air suspension system. It also has an “Off-Road” button that raises the car to tackle difficult terrain, though few owners will take a ₹10 crore car into the mud!

Who Owns the Rolls-Royce Cullinan in India?

The Cullinan is the top choice for India’s elite. Recently, popular rapper Badshah became the first Indian musician to buy the new Cullinan Series II. His car is finished in a stunning majestic blue color.

Other famous Indian owners include:

• Mukesh Ambani: The Ambani family owns multiple Cullinans, including a customized Black Badge.
• Shah Rukh Khan: The King of Bollywood owns a White Cullinan Black Badge.
• Ajay Devgn: He was one of the first actors to buy this SUV.
• T.S. Kalyanaraman: The owner of Kalyan Jewellers recently made news by buying three Cullinan SUVs on the same day!

Why Does It Matter?

The launch of the Series II shows that the demand for super-luxury cars in India is growing fast. Rolls-Royce has stated that India is a key market for them in the Asia-Pacific region. While most people buy SUVs for utility, the Cullinan is bought for status, comfort, and unmatched craftsmanship.

Deliveries for the new model have already started in India. If you spot a Cullinan with L-shaped lights on the road, you know you are looking at the latest version of the “King of SUVs.”
