Great Review of course, from Thomas - the best. Great commentary and driving. You get a real idea of what it must be like to drive, or even take a ride in. Autobahn footage an even bigger bonus! And you get 100% more detail than if you went into a showroom to try and look at one. Except would they let you in! Many thanks Thomas - keep up the great work - but not my type of car, thanks. Kind regards.
Ur conclusion is superb! Rolls could change their habits and still have the modern luxury stuff/ feeling without loosing its prestige, image and heritage.
Thank you so very much Thomas and the entire autogefuhl team for this awesome review 💯 This is really great content guys ❤ I appreciate your existence 🔥
If your wealthy you buy a BMW, MB, etc. SUV. If your mega wealthy and want everyone to know, you buy one of these. Can’t honestly say it offers any more features from the first category of the German wealthy owners SUV’s but rather punches the point home “money is no object”. Tech and performance looks to be behind its parent company BMW’s top SUVs so you get outdated UI and slower SUV for twice the money on the RR than a BMW. Life is filled with choices and different tax brackets. Great review as always Thomas.
As reviewed the version of the Rolls Royce UI was 3 versions behind the (then latest) BMW iDrive 7. Today it is one version behind - so it is a lot better than what is shown here. For example it now supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (not even the latest Mercedes Benz MBUX supports wireless Apple CarPlay)
Hello, I’m looking to buy either the “standard” Cullinan or the black badge, and it would really help if you could answer a question I have. Does the black badge have a stiffer and more sporty ride than the standard Cullinan? Because I’ve found conflicting reports on that.
I have a Cullian Black Badge on order (delivery in Mary this year), and Rolls Royce lent me one for a weekend last August. I've not tried the "standard" silver badge Cullinan, but I can tell you that there was a notable difference when I put the vehicle into "Low" mode (it held the gear for longer and stiffened the suspension). All of that said the trademark "carpet ride" was undoubtedly there and I really didn't notice anything untoward or uncomfortable (and the roads around me here in the UK are pretty rubbish). I currently drive a BMW X7 M50D and the ride in that vehicle is most definitely quite harsh at times!
@@autogefuehl Gerne. Ich glaube, ich sollte meinen VW Up gegen dieses Fahrzeug austauschen ;). Wie läuft das mit dem Fahrzeug und dem einparken ? Wisst ihr was der Sternenhimmel kostet ? Werdet ihr auch den neuen Golf GTD fahren ?
einparken schwierig generell in Deutschland aber besser als mit anderen Rolls weil der Cullinan kürzer ist und Hinterachslenkung hat. GTD: Sicher, machen wir :) Sternenhimmel-Aufpreis: weiß ich leider net
@@autogefuehl Super das mit dem GTD da freue ich mich jetzt schon. Vielen Dank dafür ! Den könnte ich mir nämlich gut vorstellen, als den Nachfolger meines Ups oder ich gehe auf den Audi A3 dessen Review und eure Videos zum Golf 8 habe ich sehr aufmerksam verfolgt.

4:34 that rear could be anything. Something about SUV proportions of having so much surface makes it look vanilla . This could easily be the mk 1 ford fusion
Very accurate findings. Great car but it's a big fuel consuming lump. I agree that RR could have produced something more aligned with contemporary thinking.
Another great, great and honest review, down to earth approach, despite the fact that anyone can be really impress when near a Rolls-Royce. I agree with you, it can be fun to drive it, just to get the feeling of it, but I will never buy it. And it's amazing that for that kind of money some of the technology is not up to date. It looks impressive, but we know that they can do better.
Hi Thomas thanks for such epic review of this master piece !!! I m very passionate about cars actually die hard bmw fan boy if u ask me in my eyes Thomas u are the rolls royce of u tube club u stand tall amongst all other u tubers cheers 🍻
Do you make several versions of your reviews in different languages? Excellent work with extensive research. Also, as a vegan, I appreciate your references to animals.
Hi Thomas, fantastic review as ever, but could I just correct one tiny mistake that you made a few times? You refer to the Spirit of Ecstasy as 'Emily' when she is in fact called 'Eleanor' (named after Eleanor Thornton, who acted as a muse for the artist and sculptor, Charles Sykes, a close friend of Charles Rolls and Henry Royce).
Thanks! www.thedrive.com/vintage/1395/is-rolls-royces-spirit-of-ecstasy-the-most-beautiful-hood-ornament de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_of_Ecstasy www.art-bronze-sculptures.com/907/rolls-royce-radiator-mascot-emily-spirit-of-ecstasy-chromed-bronze For some reason, the Emily alias is especially very often used in Germany.
Strange that the G-Class mercedes is more boxy, yet people would say this is uglier (which imo it is). Still selling well though - in certain countries.
I WOULDN'T CALL IT FAKE EXHAUST IF THE PIPES ARE RIGHT THERE. YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE PIPES POKING OUT OF THE BACK, NOT VERY LADY LIKE. THE OPTIONAL GLASS PARTITION IS TO KEEP NOISE FROM THE REAR TIRES OUT OF THE CABIN.
You are correct - the optional glass partition is to reduce noise coming from the cargo area into the rear cabin. In fact what this review didn't mention is that the glass partition is NOT an option with the bench seat (3 rear seat) configuration, it is ONLY an option with the rear two seat configuration. Rolls Royce's Bespoke have stated that they would be willing to investigate this as an option but it would be at a significant cost as it would need to be crash-tested according to their engineering department
It is good to see you engage in a little automotive pornography. This is one lady that none of your regular viewers could afford but a little voyeurism never hurt anyone.
Another great review, I agree with you, Thomas that with the price you are paying, it should have more interior space , instruments like HUD should be sharper and the entertainment console should have modern interface. Definitely worth checking out GLE /GLS or X5/X7 or Q7/Q8.
An excellent review as usual. This car is interesting to see on review, simply because this is as close as most of us could get to test driving one. That said, it's is a little bit disgusting to think of spending this much money to get to the local shopping mall. I wonder what future generations will think of such vehicles used for commuting......
Thomas talking about option prices for a Rolls. Funny. That front grill just doesn't look right. Ewwww. Oh well I guess the track suit/ big gold chain crowd will love it. Thanks for the entertainment Thomas!
€14,000... JEEEZZZz get myself a Swift Sport and put some sofa cushions in the boot... I have a fun car with a Rolls Royce feature for the price of that lol.
Thomas, another terrific review! I am no fan of the SUV however. Regardless of brand or luxury options, I just would never own a SUV. I'm sure I would prefer the sedan version from Rolls. This looks like a huge shoe box with a poor attempt at being luxurious and desirable.
Total disrespect of the Rolls Royce brand by not taking the proper time to clean the grill. Please edit the first 1:49 seconds and show the grill in all its luster. Thx.
@@autogefuehl But they are Germanic in every respect, and not in the same bracket as the RR. An American suv might be the Cadillac. Personally I would take a Bentley Bentayga over the RR...these two occupy a class of their own imo.
as for SUV, really like GLE and X5 as I said :) Both as PHEV with fabric, microfibre or leatherette seats inside =) Got other favorites in other segments too, though, hehe
@@autogefuehl Hi Thomas - Excellent Review. Yes, a GLE PHEV with the big battery and decent EV range, and re-charge every night at home - you might never run the ICE except on a 'road-trip'. But very expensive, and too pretentious. I think I'd go for a continuously re-cyclable, easy to work on, any mechanic will go on fixing it for ever, lots of ready-available cheap spares, not a transistor or computer in sight, 1980's or 1990's Land Rover Defender Ninety, with some more sound-deadening, an auto trans conversion, softer coil-spring conversion, and keep the engine tuned properly to stop it smoking(!). Keep up the good work Thomas. Many thanks.
Thanks for your feedback, feel free to elaborate from your experience after driving all three yourself in which way the Cullinan has better technology, driving dynamics, quality, price-performance-ratio or features than the X5 and the GLE (no the 14.000 picknick seats won't count) =)
Autogefühl I haven’t driven the Cullinan but I have driven a phantom, I have also driven the new X5 but not the GLE, but one thing is for sure technology is on a different level to X5 as the Roller has the best of BMW parts bin, the noise levels in the rolls are also on a different league to X5, and as for Quality of materials how can you even compare the other cars? As for driving dynamics! You don’t buy a rolls for that you buy a Bentley. A rolls is also handmade not made by robots. these are the things that you pay extra for.... please next time you are in the UK do a tour of the Rolls Royce factory just close your eyes and ears when they tell you how many cows they killed to make them beautiful seats. Ps I love Leather too. 😉
I agree that the noise level in the Rolls is very low, that was one of the things I praised. However from driver's perspective X5/X7 and GLE/GLS are so much better to drive if you do not care so much about being driven.
As for the leather issue: As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: ua-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/v-deo.html In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. Not using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
Autogefühl I will always eat meat I’m afraid, as for the leather I do love great leather, you sweat less in better quality leather but also that’s what cooled seats are for. But my car happens to have vegan material as seats and they are amazing, also my cats electric so I’m doing my part. 😉
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII Did I disallow anyone from having his own taste? Did I forbid anyone expressing their opinion? No, I simply expressed my opinion.
The Cullinan makes more sense than all the other RR's. And, I predict that it will sell more than the rest, especially with the aggressive marketing by BMW. If the Cullinan comes with bullet proof, then I'd aspire to own one.
We get upset about car consumption, but we fly by plane or even sail by boat on vacation. No comment:-) If we don't need cows, we won't even raise them. It's a simple equation. Less skin, less cows. E.g. horses are also bred only for racing. If there are no races, there will be no horses... RR is characterized by conservative style, quality, comfort, solidity, tradition. It's not a car for everyday driving to work or a disco:-) The year 2019 was extremely successful for this company. RR is more a residence than a car. The right RR owner also has his driver.:-). It's just a different universe.

Very honest views in the end and i totally agree. great review.
highly appreciated.
Great vid again Thomas, love the sound of nature and cowbells in the beginning.
Nice London cab!
The cabbie does not speak cockney though
A London cab looks a lot better!
Couldn't have put it better myself. :)
@@eyeeyeoh I bet Thomas would pass the knowledge test though.
More like Dubai cab for me lol

Damn Thomas about time !!!! That rolls specifically suits u too 👍🏽
=)
Thomas, pls consider to add noise level measuring tool, to truly compare cars at certain speeds...would added value.
Hands down! Excellent from start to end great content.😍
Respect for the conclusion! Great review. :)
thanks so much!
BTW glad you took my advice and made the driving portion quite a bit more interesting. 200kph! Nice!
Ur conclusion is superb! Rolls could change their habits and still have the modern luxury stuff/ feeling without loosing its prestige, image and heritage.
that's what I meant, thanks m8
Hey Thomas - good review.
Question - Do you have to ask to test drive cars like this or do they contact you?
thanks Richard! Runs both ways

you are right toms they should upgrate their tech on this master class machine,this car deserves better than the oldskool tech.
A beautiful majestic car
I really enjoy watching Thomas do the reviews. He does an exceptional job. He is truly one of the better reviewers on UA-cam.
Usually steering will get little loose at high speed for all cars. Is it true ?
Hi that suv really suits you Thomas you are so lucky to have the opportunity to drive the rolls Royce suv black badge 😁
hehe =)
This is what happens when Xzibit gets his hands on a London cab.
Rolls Royce isn't a car to drive it's a car to be driven in.

Your shirts are nice Thomas 👌🏽
hes a rich man
Car stirring is left side is it available in right side also
my eyes are burning!!
How about compared to the Bentega?
Much better than the Bentley Bentayga S! I love this one better. Look at the steering wheel!!!
Awesome review!
👌
4:34 that rear could be anything. Something about SUV proportions of having so much surface makes it look vanilla .

@@ClaireYunFarronXIII Did I disallow anyone from having his own taste? Did I forbid anyone expressing their opinion?
No, I simply expressed my opinion.

The Cullinan makes more sense than all the other RR's. And, I predict that it will sell more than the rest, especially with the aggressive marketing by BMW.
If the Cullinan comes with bullet proof, then I'd aspire to own one.
It's very expensive and I don't see why . I would buy 4 awesome cars for the same money
Vegan leather will never be as perfect as animal skin. Even if it's 99% close it won't be perfect.
It's a long London Cab. Not a fan.
10:04 Strange to see the total ODO just showing 5 digits? Is is supposed not to exceed 99 999 km’s og total range? 😂
A pair of uncomfortable looking chairs for 14K. This will sell like hot cakes.
Ideal car for Drug Lords
With the Bentayga, you get a panoramic sunroof. So you get to see the real stars at night for free.
That is an option with the Cullinan ;-)
We get upset about car consumption, but we fly by plane or even sail by boat on vacation. No comment:-)
If we don't need cows, we won't even raise them. It's a simple equation.
Less skin, less cows. E.g. horses are also bred only for racing. If there are no races, there will be no horses...
RR is characterized by conservative style, quality, comfort, solidity, tradition. It's not a car for everyday driving to work or a disco:-)
The year 2019 was extremely successful for this company. RR is more a residence than a car. The right RR owner also has his driver.:-). It's just a different universe.
Indeed, we should not raise animals to exploit them.

I understand. Unfortunately, we will not breed cows for their beautiful eyes.
