Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The Cullinan is the first sport-utility vehicle Rolls-Royce ever built, and it turned out to be a runaway success — a genuine Rolls-Royce raised on air springs, with a hand-finished cabin and the marque's whisper-quiet 6.75-litre V12.

Model profile

Model history and generations

Generations at a glance

The Cullinan launched in 2018 for the 2019 model year, built alongside the Phantom at Goodwood, England on Rolls-Royce's aluminium "Architecture of Luxury" spaceframe. It introduced the brand's SUV template: a commanding upright stance, rear coach (rear-hinged) doors, and a choice between a lounge-style rear bench and individual "Immersive Seating." A Black Badge version arrived in 2019 with a darker aesthetic and more assertive tuning.

Powertrain and equipment

Engines, drivetrain and trims

Powertrain lineup

Every Cullinan uses a 6.75-litre (6,749 cc) twin-turbocharged V12, producing around 563 hp and a vast 850 Nm of torque; the Black Badge raises that to roughly 600 hp and 900 Nm.

Trims in the US market

The Cullinan is a single five-door SUV body offered in standard and Black Badge forms, with near-limitless Bespoke personalisation from the factory. Expect the Starlight headliner, lambswool floor mats, veneered picnic tables, a powered tailgate that doubles as event seating, and rear "Viewing Suite" chairs on some cars.

Vehicle selection

North American market and suitability

The used market stateside

Typical import candidates are 2019–2023 cars with 10,000 to 40,000 miles (roughly 16,000–65,000 km) — genuinely low mileage for their age, since these are rarely daily-driven.

Who should import one

The Cullinan suits a buyer who wants the ultimate luxury SUV and understands the running costs that come with a hand-built V12.

Pre-purchase review

Model-specific inspection points

Inspection plan for this model

For the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on vehicle history, visible body and underbody condition, fluid leaks, warning messages, tyres, brakes and accessible suspension components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.

Germany and Europe

Differences, adaptation and registration

What US models do differently

US-market Cullinans use mph-primary instruments, amber side-marker lamps and US headlight calibration, with bumper and lighting details set for American regulations.

German TÜV and registration

Typical approval work includes fitting or activating a rear fog lamp, adjusting headlights to European aim, confirming a km/h speed display, converting or documenting the odometer in kilometres, and providing emissions documentation.

USCar Trader services

Inspection, purchase processing and escrow

As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.

  • Vehicle profile and history: The profile can show the VIN, US title status and available history records. No data source guarantees that every earlier event was reported.
  • Optional CARFAX report: Additional reported maintenance or service entries can be included. The report is not a complete service book or proof of every interval.
  • On-site inspection / USCT AutoCheck: USCar Trader can arrange a separately booked vehicle inspection. Agreed visible and accessible areas are documented. Road or functional tests require suitable access and seller approval; the visual review is not a lift inspection or workshop diagnosis.
  • Purchase processing and escrow: After approval, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, negotiation, contract and the escrow and import service. Fees, payment route and responsibilities are recorded in advance.
  • Recalls: Open safety recalls can be checked by VIN through the NHTSA recall search; they do not describe overall condition.

Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.

Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers

Common questions about importing this model

Is a used Rolls-Royce Cullinan reliable?

The core V12 and gearbox are robust; reliability depends on maintaining the complex suspension, doors and electronics through an authorised specialist.

What does it cost to run a Cullinan?

Servicing, tyres and brakes sit at the top of the market. Budget for premium maintenance rather than expecting economy-car costs.

Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?

No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.

Original Cullinan or Series II?

The Series II updates lighting, the front end and interior technology; the original offers strong value. Choose by budget and taste.

How low is the mileage on used examples?

Many are exceptionally low-mileage for their age because they are rarely daily-driven, which suits an importer looking for condition.

How should the car be shipped?

Enclosed inland transport and container ocean freight are recommended to protect a vehicle of this value.

How long does the import take?

Roughly eight to fourteen weeks from purchase to German registration, depending on shipping and specialist scheduling.

How can a specific Rolls-Royce Cullinan be checked from Germany?

Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
