Compare the2023 Rolls-Royce CullinanVS 2022 Mercedes AMG GLC

Both the Cullinan and AMG GLC have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The Cullinan has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver's seat and to know when they're engaged. The AMG GLC’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. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The AMG GLC doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

The Cullinan has standard PostCrash, which automatically apply the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The AMG GLC doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The Cullinan has standard Active Park Distance Control that uses rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision. The AMG GLC doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

When descending a steep, off-road slope, the Cullinan’s standard Hill Descent Control allows you to creep down safely. The AMG GLC doesn’t offer Hill Descent Control.

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. Using an infrared camera to detect heat, the system then displays the image on a monitor in the dashboard. The AMG GLC doesn’t offer a night vision system.

The Cullinan’s standard lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane. A lane departure warning system costs extra on the AMG GLC.

Both the Cullinan and the AMG GLC have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan weighs 2139 to 2152 pounds more than the Mercedes AMG GLC. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The Cullinan comes with a full 4-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The AMG GLC’s 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Rolls-Royce pays for scheduled maintenance on the Cullinan for 4 years and unlimited miles. Rolls-Royce will pay for oil changes, lubrication and any other required maintenance. Mercedes doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the AMG GLC.

The Cullinan’s standard 6.8 turbo V12 produces 178 more horsepower (563 vs. 385) and 243 lbs.-ft. more torque (627 vs. 384) than the AMG GLC’s 3.0 turbo V6. The Cullinan Black Badge’s standard 6.8 turbo V12 produces 207 more horsepower (592 vs. 385) and 280 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 384) than the AMG GLC’s 3.0 turbo V6.

The Cullinan has 6.4 gallons more fuel capacity than the AMG GLC (23.8 vs. 17.4 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

For better stopping power the Cullinan’s front brake rotors are larger than those on the AMG GLC:

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Cullinan has standard 21-inch wheels. Smaller 20-inch wheels are standard on the AMG GLC 43. The Cullinan’s optional 22-inch wheels are larger than the 21-inch wheels optional on the AMG GLC 43.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires standard on the Cullinan can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. Run-flat tires aren’t available on some tire packages on the AMG GLC.

The Cullinan has active sway bars, which help keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnect at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The AMG GLC doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.

The Cullinan offers an available adjustable active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Mercedes doesn’t offer an active suspension on the AMG GLC.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Cullinan’s wheelbase is 16.6 inches longer than on the AMG GLC (129.7 inches vs. 113.1 inches).

The Cullinan has 4.1 inches more front headroom, 1.9 inches more rear headroom and 5.6 inches more rear legroom than the AMG GLC.

Flexibility is maximized at the game, campground or a drive-in theatre in the Cullinan when its optional tailgating rear seats are deployed, allowing people to sit facing out of the tailgate. (Do not use while vehicle is in motion.) The AMG GLC doesn’t offer tailgating seats.

The Cullinan has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the AMG GLC with its rear seat up (19.8 vs. 17.6 cubic feet). The Cullinan has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the AMG GLC with its rear seat folded (68.2 vs. 56.5 cubic feet).

The Cullinan’s rear cargo window opens separately from the rest of the tailgate door to allow quicker loading of small packages. The AMG GLC’s rear cargo window doesn’t open.

Optional air conditioned front and rear seats keep the Cullinan’s passengers comfortable and take the sting out of hot leather in summer. The AMG GLC doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

The Cullinan has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the vehicle heater warms up. A heated steering wheel costs extra on the AMG GLC.

The Cullinan has standard massaging front and optional massaging rear seats. Massaging seats aren’t available in the AMG GLC.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Wireless charging costs extra on the AMG GLC.
