Safety
Warranty
The Range Rover’s corrosion warranty is 2 years longer than the Cullinan’s (6 vs. 4 years).

Regenerative brakes improve the Range Rover’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.
In heavy traffic or at stop lights the Range Rover’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. If the conditions warrant or the driver wishes, the system can be manually disabled at any time for the duration of a trip (not available P360/P400). The Cullinan doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.
Transmission
For more complete vehicle control the Range Rover has a manually controlled automatic, with the available convenience of an automatic transmission and the complete gear control of a manual transmission without the inconvenience of a clutch. A manually controlled automatic allows the driver to eliminate unwanted shifts and maximize engine braking by down shifting while cornering. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a transmission that allows complete gear control.
Tires and Wheels
For better traction, the Range Rover’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Cullinan (275/45R21 vs. 255/50R21).
The Range Rover’s optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Cullinan’s optional 45 series tires.
The Range Rover offers an optional full size spare tire so a flat doesn’t interrupt your trip. A full size spare isn’t available on the Cullinan; it requires you to depend on its run-flat tires, which limits mileage and speed before they are repaired. If a run-flat is damaged beyond repair by a road hazard your vehicle will have to be towed.
Suspension and Handling
The Range Rover’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The Cullinan doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.
For better maneuverability, the Range Rover’s turning circle is 2.9 feet tighter than the Cullinan’s (40.5 feet vs. 43.4 feet). The Range Rover LWB’s turning circle is .6 feet tighter than the Cullinan’s (42.8 feet vs. 43.4 feet).
Chassis
The Land Rover Range Rover may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 350 to 1050 pounds less than the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
The Range Rover is 1 foot, 1.4 inches shorter than the Cullinan, making the Range Rover easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.
For excellent aerodynamics, the Range Rover has standard flush composite headlights. The Cullinan has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.
The front grille of the Range Rover Diesel uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Cullinan doesn’t offer active grille shutters.
Passenger Space
The Range Rover has 3 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Cullinan (115 vs. 112).
Cargo Capacity
The Range Rover has a larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the Cullinan with its rear seat folded (70.9 vs. 68.2 cubic feet).
The Range Rover SVAutobiography’s optional sliding cargo floor makes loading and unloading cargo easier and safer. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a sliding load floor.
The Range Rover’s available rear seats fold to accommodate long and bulky cargo. The Cullinan w/Executive Rear Seats doesn’t offer folding rear seats, only a ski pass-through.
To make loading groceries and cargo easier when your hands are full, the Range Rover’s tailgate can be opened and closed just by waving your foot, leaving your hands completely free. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a hands-free gesture to open its tailgate, forcing you to put cargo down if your hands are full.
Towing
Standard Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) on the Range Rover uses the Dynamic Stability Control sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady. The Cullinan doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.
Ergonomics
The Range Rover has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a remote starting system.
The Range Rover’s front and rear power windows all open or close with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Cullinan’s rear power window switches have to be held the entire time to close them fully.
To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Range Rover has a standard rear speed-sensitive intermittent wiper with a full on position. The rear wiper standard on the Cullinan only has an intermittent setting, so in a hard rain visibility isn’t as good.
In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The Range Rover has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The Cullinan doesn’t offer headlight washers.
The Range Rover offers an optional 115-volt a/c outlet on the center console, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.
Recommendations
The Land Rover Range Rover outsold the Rolls-Royce Cullinan by almost 22 to one during the 2021 model year.
