Tailgate Like Royalty With the Rolls-Royce Cullinan's 'Viewing Suite'
CARS.COM — The upcoming Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV high-sided car promises to be a truly luxurious experience for its passengers. How could it not? It’s a Rolls-Royce, after all. But what happens when you take it to your local polo field for a match? Are you just supposed to sit on … gulp, folding chairs like a prole?

Fear not, dear reader, for Rolls-Royce has thought of this very situation as part of its “effortless, everywhere” endeavor. Rather than sit on this mere $405 wooden folding chair ($661 with arms!), at the touch of a button the Cullinan’s Viewing Suite emerges from the rear cargo area. (We’re sure there are more expensive folding chairs to be had, but searching for them is just too depressing.)
The Viewing Suite is a pair of rear-facing leather — not wood, oh no — chairs flanking a cocktail table. Rolls-Royce describes the chairs as “beautifully contemporary” and made of the “finest leather.” From these seats, “a Cullinan owner may take in the world’s most breathtaking vistas or view a sports event, or even watch their children take part in their school sports day.”
“School sports day” sounds like a high-class version of what used to happen at my schools, only we called it “field day.” Then again, none of the parents ever showed up in a Rolls-Royce.
Pricing and complete specifications for the Cullinan remain unknown, but when we know more, we’ll be sure to share it. Then again, when it comes to a mobile monument to late capitalism such as this, you pay what it costs.
