Rolls Royce Starts SUV Development - What Should It Have To Make It A "Proper" SUV?

The development of the Rolls-Royce SUV has been started by the British based car manufacturer as a new report is stating.

The Rolls-Royce SUV hasn’t been abandoned, as you might have believed, and considering the fact that its main competitor, Bentley, is considering such a model too, the development of the luxury SUV has started. The announcement hasn’t been made official just yet but according to a recent report published by the guys from Autobild, work has began on the model. The new Rolls-Royce SUV is apparently known internally as the Cullinan, which is the name of the world’s largest diamond.

Remember the Lamborghini LM001? Some things just shouldn't be done. This is one of them.

It will be a BMW X7, with a BMW engine that says Rolls Royce on it, with Phantom station wagon styling...just watch.

bet it will sell well! The rendering looks a bit funny toward the back end. X7 makes a lot of sense MattD to base it on, no wonder they greenlighted that project!

People will have trouble deciding between the Hyundai Tucson SUV and the Rolls SUV.

It could look ugly as sin, but since it will the the RR on it, people with the money will buy it...

I have had the experience of spending several hundred miles in the back of a Phantom. Yes it's exquisite but I just don't get it. It's as boring as a Camry.

Isn't Lamborghini giving it another go with the upcoming Urus? Pretty much every Super lux automaker will at some point produce an SUV. SUV's are huge these days especially in the U.S.A. Just look at the success of the Cayenne.

There already is a 'Rolls Royce' of SUV's. It's called the Range Rover Autobiography LWB.

those are so impressive! I fell in love at the last auto show with one... The RR has big shoes to fill if it wants to one up those RR Autobiography models.
