Compare the2025 Land Rover Range RoverVS 2024 Rolls-Royce Cullinan

Both the Range Rover and Cullinan have rear cross-traffic warning, but the Range Rover has Rear Traffic Braking (automatically applies the brakes) to better prevent a collision when backing near traffic. The Cullinan’s Cross Traffic Warning doesn’t automatically brake.

Both the Range Rover and the Cullinan have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact 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, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

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

There are over 5 times as many Land Rover dealers as there are Rolls-Royce dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Range Rover’s warranty.

J.D. Power and Associates rated the Range Rover third among large premium suvs in their 2024 Initial Quality Study. The Cullinan isn’t in the top three in its category.

The Range Rover SV’s 4.4 turbo V8 produces 14 more horsepower (606 vs. 592) than the Cullinan Black Badge’s optional 6.8 turbo V12.

On the EPA test cycle the Range Rover running on electricity gets better mileage than the Cullinan:

On the EPA test cycle the Range Rover running its gasoline engine gets better mileage than the Cullinan:

The Range Rover P550e can travel with zero emissions for 53 miles. The Cullinan can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

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 stoplights 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. The Cullinan doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.

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.

The Range Rover’s launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM’s precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The Cullinan doesn’t offer launch control.

For better traction, the Range Rover has larger standard tires than the Cullinan (275/50R21 vs. 255/50R21). The Range Rover’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Cullinan (285/40R23 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.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Range Rover offers optional 23-inch wheels. The Cullinan’s largest wheels are only 22-inches.

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.

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 SWB’s turning circle is 7.4 feet tighter than the Cullinan’s (35.9 feet vs. 43.3 feet). The Range Rover LWB’s turning circle is 5.4 feet tighter than the Cullinan’s (37.9 feet vs. 43.3 feet).

The Land Rover Range Rover may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 300 to 1050 pounds less than the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The Range Rover SWB is 12 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 Range Rover uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Cullinan doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

The Range Rover LWB SE offers optional seating for 7 passengers; the Cullinan can only carry up to 5.

The Range Rover LWB SE’s cargo area provides more volume than the Cullinan.

The Range Rover SWB’s cargo area provides more volume than the Cullinan.

The Range Rover LWB SV’s cargo area provides more volume than the Cullinan.

The Range Rover’s standard 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 available tailgate can be opened and closed just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, 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.

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.

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.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are optional on the Range Rover to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The Cullinan doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

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.

To better shield the driver’s vision, the Range Rover has a standard driver’s side dual-element sun visor that can block glare from two directions simultaneously (Range Rover also offers optional passenger side dual sun visors). The Cullinan doesn’t offer a secondary sun visor.

The Range Rover has a 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.

J.D. Power and Associates rated the Range Rover first among large premium suvs in owner reported satisfaction. This includes how well the vehicle performs and satisfies its owner’s expectations. The Cullinan isn’t in the top three.

The Land Rover Range Rover outsold the Rolls-Royce Cullinan by almost 13 to one during 2023.
