The Rolls-Royce engineers and craftsmen dedicate an extraordinary time for the cabin of their cars and the Cullinan is no different here. They offer the most opulent and premium experience possible in a vehicle with the choice of an array of the most exquisite fabrics, leathers, wood, plastics, and other premium materials. Rolls-Royce Cullinan is an all-button car, which means that every function inside its cabin gets a dedicated button for utmost practicality.
The seats themselves are probably the most comfortable seats one can have in a car and with the rear coach-style doors that gently close with the tap of a button, together offer utmost comfort to the most important men of the world. The brand's famous Shooting Star headliner that lights up the roof of the car with an array of fiber optic cables and mimics a stargazing experience is also one of a kind. The Cullinan comes as a five-seater as standard but opting for the $18,025 immersive seating option replaces the middle rear seat for a center console.
There is no third row of seats to make sure that there is no compromise made in terms of comfort and luxury of its occupants, one can get the lower section of the tailgate with a pair of leather-clad perches and a picnic table to enjoy the beautiful views this SUV will take you to. Though the 21.6 cu-ft of trunk space isn’t the most practical option for an SUV, a nifty feature like the section of trunk floor automatically rises when the rear seats are folded to make hauling large goods easier, is a function that only a Rolls-Royce can offer.
The customization options available with the Cullinan are unparalleled in the world. There are innumerable design schemes, colors, and material choices, and features available for you to build each SUV unique to itself. The options include leathers, veneers, carbon fiber, chrome, and plastics, all of which are available in different colors, hues, and themes that are all handcrafted for the most bespoke feel. The Black Badge also gets its unique lemniscate logo throughout the interior which is the mathematical symbol representing infinity.

Though Rolls-Royce never unveiled the exact interior dimensions of the Cullinan, rest assured that it offers more cabin space both at the front and at the rear than most of its rivals. The Aston Martin DBX is the most compact SUV here while the Maybach GLS 600 is the one to go for if interior space is what you need the most. Even the Bentayga falls short in terms of headroom and legroom against the 40.4-inch of headroom and 43-inch legroom offered by the Cullinan. Some of the interior features in the 2022 Roll-Royce Cullinan Black Badge are:
- Heated/Ventilated & Electrically Adjustable Front seat w/massage function and memory settings
- 60-40 Folding Bench Fold Forward Heated/Ventilated Rear Seat
- Heated armrests for all four doors
- Full-Leather Seating Surface
- Leather Door Trim Insert and Leather Upholstered Dashboard
- Genuine Wood/Leather Interior Panel Insert w/Chrome/Aluminum Interior Accents and Deluxe Sound Insulation
- Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column w/Auto Tilt-Away Leather Steering Wheel
- Four-zone automatic climate control
- Head-Up Display
How intuitive is the 2022 Roll-Royce Cullinan Black Badge’s infotainment unit?
The 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system is very familiar to most buyers as it is a direct adaptation of the BMW’s iDrive infotainment system which uses a rotating knob on the center console called the Spirit of Ecstasy rotary controller in this guise for controlling the screen along with touch and voice inputs. There is wireless Apple CarPlay available as standard but oddly enough, Android Auto is missing even from the options list.
The touch-sensitive buttons placed below the screen are very handy and can be programmed to offer shortcuts to radio stations, navigation, and many other functions. Navigation is offered as standard while wireless phone charger, mobile hotspot, and other notable features have to be opted for separately. The rear theater configuration that costs $8,250 adds two more touch screens at the back and can also be controlled via the secondary rotary dial on the rear center console. Some of the infotainment features in the 2022 Roll-Royce Cullinan Black Badge are:
- 10.25-inch Infotainment system w/Spirit of Ecstasy rotary controller
- 16-speaker 600W 10-channel premium audio system w/2 floor-mounted subwoofers
- Wireless Apple CarPlay
- Navigation system
- HD Radio and Satellite Radio
- Mobile Hotspot Internet Access
- Bluetooth Wireless Phone Connectivity and Audio Streaming
- Voice recognition system
