Rolls-Royce Cullinan vs Bentley Bentayga
When comparing the aesthetics of the two SUVs, you’ll find two distinct approaches to their design, which reflect their brand’s identity and vision.
Design: Rolls-Royce Cullinan
The latest Rolls-Royce Cullinan offers a timeless luxury with its imposing grille, classic proportions, and bespoke interior craftsmanship.
The Cullinan features the traditional Rolls benchmarks.
A curated selection of upholstery and trim materials, a whisper-quiet interior, and the traditional Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan also offers an extensive customization program and is more suited for those who like a more traditional design.
Design: Bentley Bentayga
In contrast, the latest Bentley Bentayga offers a modern, dynamic look with a prominent grille and sleek lines.
The interior of the SUV combines advanced technology with a modern luxury aesthetic.
A large, prominent matrix grille marks the front end of the car with a streamlined shape for a more sporty look.
In the end, the Bentley Bentayga is suited for those who prefer more modern features and a sporty look.
Performance
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan comes with a twin-turbo 6.7-liter V-12 that provides 563 horsepower (592hp for the Black Badge model).
Plus the engine on the Cullinan is whisper quiet.
It also has an all-wheel drive and a modern air suspension that receives information from a road-scanning camera.
The car then automatically adjusts the vehicle’s height to compensate for rough roads.
On the other hand, the Bentley Bentayga comes with two engine options – a 542hp V8 or a 443hp plug-in hybrid V6.
Unfortunately, the Bentley doesn’t offer a W12 engine with the Bentayga as it did before.
However, it still provides a quicker acceleration than the Cullinan with a 0-60mph time of 3.3 seconds.
So if you want an SUV with a more comfortable ride, then go for the Cullinan.
However, if you want more speed and better handling, then the Bentayga is a better choice.
Summary: Rolls-Royce Cullinan vs Bentley Bentayga
While the Rolls-Royce Cullinan offers a traditional comfortable luxury ride, the Bentley Bentayga provides a more modern, performance-oriented experience.
However, the Cullinan is also a lot more expensive than the Bentayga, so that’s also something to keep in mind.
Choosing between these two luxury SUVs will ultimately come down to personnel preference.
