The first time I saw a Rolls Royce Cullinan, I thought, “why have they made it so small?” The car needs to be a few inches longer to really work. How have they run out of room? I don’t know, but I do know you would have to be a fool to buy one over a regular Rolls, a view only strengthened by seeing more of them around.
I see more of these things than I would really like to. I’m not sure what the appeal is. I’m surprised that Rolls held off on an SUV this long, something I can’t fault them for, but I don’t like the way they’ve gone about it on their first try.
I suppose this is a Rolls made less for chauffeuring and more for driving, but I’d buy a Bentley Bentayga if I wanted to do that. It’s like a car that compromises driving and chauffeuring so that it does neither excellently. It reminds me of looking inside an Alfa Romeo Guilia and wondering about the discrepancy between the interior and exterior room.
What are your thoughts, Oppo?
