Which Rolls-Royce model was the first to use the name Cullinan?

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan was the first Rolls-Royce model to use the name Cullinan.

The Cullinan is a large luxury sport utility vehicle and Rolls-Royce’s first SUV. The company named it after the Cullinan Diamond, the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found. The vehicle was unveiled in 2018 and entered production that year.

It shares engineering elements with the eighth-generation Phantom, including a related aluminum spaceframe architecture. The Cullinan combines all-wheel drive with a high-riding body, while retaining Rolls-Royce design features such as rear-hinged coach doors and a formal grille.

The name is sometimes confused with “Cullen,” the surname of Thomas Cullinan, after whom the diamond was named. The vehicle’s model name is specifically Cullinan, and it is separate from the Ghost, Phantom and Dawn lines.
