2026 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge: an ultra-luxury SUV focused on performance and individuality
The 2026 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge is the most powerful and driver-focused version of the marque’s flagship SUV.
It is designed for clients who value a combination of exceptional luxury and enhanced performance.
The Black Badge range traditionally has a more assertive character, darkened exterior details and extensive personalisation options, while retaining Rolls-Royce’s signature ‘magic carpet ride’ — its benchmark standard of ride comfort.
Engine and performance
Power comes from a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine.
In the Black Badge, it produces 600 hp and 900 Nm of torque, delivering confident pulling power across the rev range and an immediate response to the accelerator.
It is among the most powerful production SUVs in the ultra-luxury segment, combining strong performance with exceptionally smooth operation.
An eight-speed automatic gearbox works with an intelligent all-wheel-drive system.
The suspension, with air springs and adaptive dampers, is designed to provide a high level of comfort on a variety of surfaces, including off-road terrain.
The Cullinan Black Badge accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 4.7 seconds — an impressive figure for a full-size luxury SUV.
Design and interior
The exterior is distinguished by dark chrome, exclusive 23-inch wheels and more assertive design details.
The interior places an emphasis on personalisation, with premium leather, decorative trim, digital architecture and distinctive finish options creating the atmosphere of a private luxury space.
The vehicle is suited to both owner-drivers and chauffeur-driven use, offering a high level of comfort across all rows.
