Throttle House's review of the 2025 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II Black Badge lands at 63/100, reflecting strong fundamentals undermined by questionable value propositions. The vehicle excels in performance (592 hp, 627 lb-ft torque) and paint quality rivaling Toyota, while the cabin tech impresses with its new pillar-to-pillar glass pane and visually cool gauge cluster, though the carbon fiber dashboard fails to honor Rolls-Royce's luxury heritage. However, the value dimension scores a flat 0/100—the optioned build hits $680,000 with ridiculous add-ons like $45,000 brake calipers and $10,000 wheels that degrade ride quality, while the suspension transmits road imperfections rather than isolating occupants as expected. The Cullinan is the best SUV available for ultra-wealthy buyers seeking commanding presence, but its compromises suggest it's a solution in search of a problem.
