Rolls-Royce's Next EV Spotted Testing: Cullinan-Sized SUV Takes Shape

Fresh spy shots show a fully electric prototype with Cullinan proportions plus Spectre-inspired details on cold-weather trials in Sweden.

Overview

  • Photographers captured the prototype at BMW Group’s Arjeplog proving ground during winter testing.
  • Observers report the vehicle is fully electric, while Rolls-Royce has not disclosed specifications or confirmed a launch timeline.
  • The mule’s profile mirrors the current Cullinan with revised lighting and other cues reminiscent of the Spectre coupe.
  • Autocar flags a possible public reveal at Goodwood in July or Pebble Beach in August, with separate reports pointing to a market arrival around 2028.
  • Electrifying the SUV would target the brand’s sales mainstay, as the Cullinan accounted for most of Rolls-Royce’s 5,664 deliveries in 2025 and faces emerging competition from Bentley’s planned EV crossover.
