Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Why 3.8: Doug's Daily score of 40 is a perfect 40 — and that's the point: this is the finest passenger experience money buys, purchased entirely for what it announces on arrival. The new floor of the index.

Sound
The 6.75 twin-turbo V12 is felt more than heard — a distant, even hum under load and effectively nothing at idle. Rolls-Royce engineered against noise rather than for it, which is the entire point of the car. There is character here, but almost none of it is audible.
12-cylinder · turbocharged · 6,000 rpm redline · rated 3.2 / 10 for engine sound
Market value
Median asking price, good condition · €368k (2019) → €377k (2026), trending up · illustrative data
Child seats · ISOFIX
Two ISOFIX points on the outboard rear bench seats — the standard 3-across bench, not the optional individual rear chairs.
No front ISOFIX documented — Rolls-Royce's child-restraint guidance covers the rear seats only.
'Rear Comfort Seating' swaps the bench for two individual rear chairs as a factory option; this entry assumes the standard bench.

The long version
A meaningful share of Cullinans are driven by someone other than the person who bought them, which is less a knock than the point — this is the SUV built for the back seat, and the ownership data reflects owners who evaluate it from there. Values have barely moved since launch, propped up less by scarcity than by a customer base that does not shop, does not flip, and does not track depreciation curves. It shows up wherever arrival matters, hotel entrances and embassy gates, and essentially nowhere a stopwatch would.
