The 2020 Cullinan can now be ordered with leather to match its optional Viewing Suite and all-new Sanctuary Seats. These upgraded rear thrones add extra padding and a power-adjustable calf rest on the right rear seat. Although these options sound as if they're from some Feng Shui theater, just remember that Rolls-Royce customers prefer to be pampered on another level.
Pros The epitome of wealth, incomparable interior comfort, quick and quiet operation.
Cons The epitome of too expensive, awkward outward appearance, missing some back-seat features.
It's not just a blacked-out exterior design package. The Black Badge Cullinan offers more style and more substance.
Pros Has every luxury feature you could ever want Smooth, powerful V12 engine Great to drive, better to be driven in Black Badge styling is subtle and chic
Cons Clunky infotainment tech without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto I can't afford one
