Thanks for watching!
Was looking for a replacement car after my Civic got totaled, thanks for the review!
You'r civic was definitely at least 10 times better engineered than this german countdown bomb, if i had to drive it for 10 years, I'd go for the civic anyday. I'd just go with this if i only had to use it for a month. And i say all of these despite the price difference.
@@aranhaydar9195 uh yeah, alright.
@@aranhaydar9195 it’s British, by the way :)
@@franstanade its actually german because bmw own rolls royce
@@aranhaydar9195 I will go with a Civic again or a RAV4 depending on how much we get for it
Honestly, I'm here for the post-cold Topher voice. Matches the luxury of it all 😂
really enjoyed how you did did this particular video particularly, no traffic, early morning sunshine, the particular road you chose, your description of the vehicle highlights, tone of voice set the perfect mood for the review of the RR...
Honestly, i just see your videos to get sort of the feeling of driving a car. I got a huge passion for cars, and i just can't wait to turn 17, to get my licence. But until then i'm stuck with your videos. But tbh. your reviews are good, especially the pov part of it. it gives another important dimension to the review that others miss.
Today we’re driving the 2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
This is the ultimate luxury SUV
it rides on air suspension.
It has a 6.75 Liter V12
@@aaronholguin4835 That makes 563 Horsepower
…. LOL
What’s amazing is that it can be even nicer with the extended wood trim option, the whole dash becomes a veneer or natural grain wood, spectacular.
100% this spec feels like a RAV4 everything inside looks so.....cheap lol
I’m surprised you didn’t take this out on the usual Daily Motor Test Route like you usually do with other cars, but this was still quite a nice surprise! I’m looking forward to Charlie’s Members-Only Sound System test too now. Great Job as always Chris!
Been watching you a little under 3 years now and its incredible on how far you have come.
I love that you tested the sound system! No one does that, but it’s such an important part.
The most unreal thing about this vehicle is just how low the road noise is compared to every other vehicle you drive. It didn’t matter at all that you had a cold. If anything the quieter talking made it even more relaxing.
What a delightful review: Chris, fantastic car, peak-summer Michigan. Thank you!
Finally you make a review of Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Nice review.
After driving on the highway in my car, I can really appreciate how quiet the car is when you can hear him comfortably at highway speeds.
Luxury done right. I wish Mercedes would take notes of this interior. Fancy physical buttons > cheap touchscreen!
This looks cheap and nasty and reflective as well from the centre stack. Certainly not something worthy of a Rolls badge.
@lexus
@@DEVILTAZ35 Yeah you must be a troll
@@DEVILTAZ35 you can’t be fr 😂😂
Love the sound system in the Cullinan
Such a beautiful suv Topher keep up the good work
Eat your heart out Doug Demuro, this is a much more pleasant car tour than anything anyone else is putting out. Great job man.
why’d you have to say that?😂 i’m pretty sure doug doesn’t even know you exist😂
@the bronze james lol
I like the umbrella, the sound system and the fuel economy. I'm in for 8.
So love your review of this amazing car. Really true of top best luxury brand, Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
Hi Chris, this was fun; certainly the closest I will ever get to a Rolls. As I am not among the 1% I will just continue to drive my 2017 Camry LE on my Target and Aldi's runs, and if it rains I will just have to get wet when I get out of the vehicle!
The outside of the car is very beautiful but the inside leaves me wanting more. It’s very nice still but it looks a bit outdated (mainly the infotainment and center stack).
i think rolls royce goes for timelessness when they think about interior design. they want it to still look good 20 years from now, i think this will age nicely. as opposed to like the new S-class which probably won't age as well.
@@myemailiscool looking at it from that point of view I understand! All the tech they put in cars now, if one thing messes up 9/10 everything else will too.
@@MichaelA.2499 and knowing rolls royce it'd be like $10k minimum if something electronic on the interior broke lol. could be rolls royce owners care less about tech, i've noticed bentley is better with modern tech, they could have younger buyers maybe.
@@myemailiscool Except that it does not, the interior design already looks outdated. The only thing that is keeping it "timeless" is their choice of materials. Everything else, including the screen and infotainment is outdated.
I agree - no auto climate? Yikes.
Sound system 😮 it's incredible
man keeps pumping out great content.
the soft topher voice adds to the Rolls ambience haha
just saw one yesterday in my very rural area, very cool sight!
Was that guy carrying a baseball bat?
That steering wheel is gorgeous!
Are you sure you don't need your eyes checked? . in what way is any of this worthy of a Rolls Royce name lol
Fantastic review. For those leaving comments, FFS, commas are not periods.
this is 10/10 review for a 11/11 car i would love to drive this for 5 minutes
Beautiful
the owner of the shared office I work at has one of these. It's black with orange interior so resembles a gaudy reverse terrys chocolate orange.
Thanks for review! It’s just good car. Nothing wrong.
Good God almighty, the interior is amazing.
stunning
My favorite car
AMAZING
this vid is making me want to go to sleep cause of how smooth it looks and how silent it is lol
The dude impressed by Rose Royce suv , we need another review
Where abouts in the us is this filmed? It looks beautiful
Buying this tommorrow
Where was this filmed? Absolutely beautiful
Why does this car need a 6L+ V12?
Is the steering not too low geared and the engine sound at higher rpm too “thrummy” indicative of poor breathing from camshafts tuned for best low rpm torque ?
You went country with this car 😂😂 nice touch
Can you also control the traffic lights from in there??? Tooo many buttons and knobs...
cullinan (color-nan) with the crazy colors they have
Does there heads up display reflect the navigation from the Apple CarPlay or only from the native GPS ?
This car or two of my houses haha. This is a different class I can only imagine.
What's with the huge thirsty engine? Is it me or should they have been able to use a smaller more efficient engine and still got similar power numbers?
Have you ever heard about Kantanka cars? It really drives well. !!
This thing could solve all my problems
Nice. Piano black maybe not the best choice, my car has some and it gets so dirty so fast.
@TheTopher I would like to know if there are any budget options which have a comparable smoothness and the ‘floating over the road’ experience. How big of a difference is it from say an Avalon or Lexus ES? I would like to know some mainstream vehicles which offer a similar experience.
A Toyota Avalon does not compare to a $200k+ Rolls Royce. lol You can make any car feel good on the Road. Upgrade the suspension and tires on just about any heavy car and you'll be set.
Life could be a dream.
Gonna wait for the black friday sale on this thing. Heard last year it was $100 off and I missed it.
I love that place. Perfect for a car like that. Where is it ?
The outside looks great and I'm sure the ride is unmatched, but the inside is kinda "meh" for a $400k vehicle. It just seems... bulky I guess? It doesn't seem as sleek and modern as other manufacturer offerings. It seriously gives me Ford F-150 vibes lmao. But I won't bash it too much cuz I can't afford it anyway haha.
Whether we can afford it or not is irrelevant. I completely agree the inside of this car is underwhelming for its price point
When i think of Rolls i think of ultra luxury with expensive wood grain everywhere and plush carpets . This looks like half of it is plastic from kmart lol
i love my Cullian
what's the name of the music that you play during the review?
Nice car ❤️❤️😊🥰
My favorite cars are the rolls Royce cullinan and the bentley bentayga
Are these all your cars or do they let you use it
It totally looks like he is just floating over the road. Must be a an amazing drive! Still $400,000 over priced
Yeah that’s enough to buy a house or to travel the world for the rest of your life 😂
@@jameso8711 Did you just say you can travel around the world for the rest of your life with only $400,000?
@@jameso8711 It’s no where close to enough for traveling the whole word and you’d be lucky to get a house anywhere nice for 400k these days.
@@ShortsFromNicc lol what? you can read it very clearly why are you asking me to repeat myself. It seems like you think I mean every single day. No. I said for the rest of your life as in you can use that money from now until death for travel purposes only.
Wouldn't mind getting a pre-owned one for half the price though
What’s it feel like to drive such expensive cars? Ever get nervous or is it kind of just another day at the office for you?
I wonder how many of these they sell each year
We all can afford this. Nice review😂
9:35 thats what she said
"Soft close, ofcourse." Whas that a reference? :D
Whats the song in the video
the Rolls Royce Hearse
This or the GLS 600 Maybach? TY
How big of a difference is the ride quality compared to a Maybach gls 600?
It’s another league. It’d probably be even better without the Dynamic package too
Love ur vids man, but can u try out more manual vehicles if possible?
Thinking about buying one of these to Doordash in... LOL
I hate the analog design of the gage cluster I feel as though it doesn’t work well with the flow of the overall interior design. I feel as though there should be more options as far and the cluster goes like in the Cadillac Escalade 🤷🏽♂️
I would never be able to tell that this was made by BMW~~ What a fantastic car.
Technically it is not made by bmw because it is made in England however bmw provides the drivetrain and screen system,but with that being said bmw’s influence and contribution are very much still controlled by rolls Royce including the drive train.
People really out here driving the value of most American homes, ON THE ROAD 💀🌚
geeeetin heeeeaad in da cullinaaan
A friend wants to overpay 50k for a caddy suv v spec for 200k, but I told him is the 700hp caddy worth it? he also has the new Ferrari f8, first world problem, the Cullinan if u have several other vehicles in garage , no shit service since we’re watching expensive vids right?
My big love future car..💝🌹🤗💐🙏🧿🎐🎐🎐
An excellent "road trip" vehicle, lol! For that price, you should be able to obtain at least low earth orbit!
I hated the design of this thing when it first came out and still find it ostentatious but it's grown on me. It definitely has that RR presence. That being said, if I had enough money to buy this, I'd rather buy two or three nice cars for the same amount.
I know of a Cullinan here where I live (Austria) which the owner is trying to sell right now. The thing has a Mansory package with orange Hermes interior, outside is (painted, not wrapped) purple matte. I swear, if these things weren't known, you would think this is a riced out shitbox mom's SUV with dorky rear doors opening the opposite way. 460K € used.. Also, the rear of the Cullinan would actually be quite nice imo, but the headlights alone were a huge step back to the previous generation. But hey, to me RR is for old people or pimps anyways 😁
@@luke1811 That last statement is very true. I would also add new rich to that list. Most Cullinans I've seen are either bright colored or murdered out.
I'd buy it.
Nice BMW
I see what you did there.
@@SerPurple51 lol
Can we just talk about how quiet the roads are?
One thing I can't unsee. The dash has the double brow look which reminds me of the S197 Mustang. Not a fan of the interior
what town is it ?
Where is that ??? Is so pretty !!
analog cluster in normal cars: thats so much of cost cutting not expected analog cluster in RR: thats what we call an Epitome of Luxury. These analog give a proper retro and classy vibe
I can't figure out what's the gauge left of the speedometer is for? Is it RPM?
Power Reserve
What is this place?
This thing looks like a Rolls Royce car and a Range Rover had a child... not exactly sold on how it looks. Also this somehow qualifies as a "station wagon" here in the US, so its bound to the same taxes as a car and subject to the "gas guzzler tax" that SUV's and trucks are exempt from. And I agree with you 100% on that digital display. Looks like something you'd see on a BMW motorcycle. Not sure what they were thinking there. You get all this "luxury" inside and then they put this lackluster display on it.
I was thinking the same thing. It definitely doesn’t look worth 420k on the outside.
@@jaioncebollero1168 the color choice was very poor outside and inside anyways
Absolutely wouldn't buy it for how it looks like! A brick!
Early gang
Name of the sound system test song?
No one reviews cars like Topher
This is the same price as the A8 3.0L in Singapore.
I wonder what insurance costs on this thing
2012 Rolls-Royce Cullinan
All the chrome on the interior is nice and all except for when it’s sunny out and you’re getting blinded by the sun’s reflection on every surface of the interior 🤣
And it would get scalding hot with the sun on it!
If there was a parody equivalent of Rolls Royce, it would be called Low Lives with double L logo.
The start chirp is a CHORD!!!???
