THE Rolls-Royce Cullinan is being refreshed six years after it become the luxury marque's first SUV.

In that time it has become Rolls' most popular model and the Series ll is designed to continue that success.

The latest Cullinan has more vertical lines in its styling, an illuminated front grille and new features inside including a so-called Duality Twill interior that can incorporate up to 2.2 million stitches, 11 miles of thread and is the product of 20 hours of construction.

It retains the 6.75-litre V12 engine with 563bhp of its predecessor while the higher powered Black Badge variant is rated at 591bhp.

Other features on the Cullinan ll include a new clock cabinet vitrine which incorporates a Spirit of Ecstasy figurine into the interior and a seat pattern that has been inspired by clouds over the home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood in Sussex and comprises up to 107,000 individual perforations.

Chris Brownridge, chief executive officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said: "In 2018, Cullinan reframed super-luxury motoring, enabling Rolls-Royce clients to experience the brand's hallmark magic carpet ride regardless of the terrain and in every corner of the world.

"In the six years since, Cullinan has attracted entirely new groups of clients to Rolls-Royce and profoundly altered perceptions of what a Rolls-Royce motor car is, and what it can mean to its owner.

"Cullinan Series II has been created to build on that success. By integrating new technologies, new materials, meticulously considered design updates and innovative opportunities for self-expression through Bespoke, we retain everything our clients love about this motor car, ensuring its continued allure."

Prices for the Cullinan are expected to show a slight increase taking the starting price to some £330,000.
