Comparison overview: The Rolls-Royce Cullinan starts at ₹10.50 Cr and the Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II at ₹8.95 Cr, a difference of ₹1.55 Cr ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹1.72 Cr. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: Both cars use the same 6750cc Petrol engine and Automatic gearbox, so performance will not decide this for you. Price, features and boot space will.

What one gives that the other does not: The Rolls-Royce Cullinan adds Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Central Locking, Passenger Airbag, Side Airbag-Rear and Day & Night Rear View Mirror. The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II adds Heads-Up Display (HUD), Blind Spot Camera, Fog Lights - Front, Fog Lights - Rear and Rain Sensing Wiper. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹1.55 Cr for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Rolls-Royce Cullinan if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Rolls-Royce Cullinan offers Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
