Compare the2023 Rolls-Royce CullinanVS 2023 Mercedes AMG GLE

Both the Cullinan and AMG GLE have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors.

The AMG GLE’s child locks have to be individually engaged at each rear door with a manual switch. The driver can’t know the status of the locks without opening the doors and checking them.

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection.

The AMG GLE doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

A passive infrared night vision system optional on the Cullinan helps the driver to more easily detect people, animals or other objects in front of the vehicle at night.
