The Cullinan’s standard 255/45R22 front and 285/40R22 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series front and 40 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Cayenne’s standard 55 series front and 45 series rear tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Cullinan has standard 22-inch wheels. Smaller 20-inch wheels are standard on the Cayenne. The Cullinan’s optional 23-inch wheels are larger than the 22-inch wheels optional on the Cayenne.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires available on the Cullinan can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The Cayenne doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

The front and rear suspension of the Cullinan uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the Cayenne, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Cullinan’s wheelbase is 15.7 inches longer than on the Cayenne (129.7 inches vs. 114 inches).

The Cullinan has 2.9 inches more front headroom, 1.4 inches more rear headroom and 2.6 inches more rear legroom than the Cayenne.

Flexibility is maximized at the game, campground or a drive-in theatre in the Cullinan when its optional tailgating rear seats are deployed, allowing people to sit facing out of the tailgate. (Do not use while vehicle is in motion.) The Cayenne doesn’t offer tailgating seats.

The Cullinan has a larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the Cayenne with its rear seat folded (68.2 vs. 60.3 cubic feet).

Pressing a switch automatically lowers or raises the Cullinan’s rear seats, to make changing between cargo and passengers easier. The Cayenne doesn’t offer automatic folding seats.

The Cullinan’s rear cargo window opens separately from the rest of the tailgate door to allow quicker loading of small packages. The Cayenne’s rear cargo window doesn’t open.

If the windows are left open on the Cullinan the driver can close them all at the outside door handle or from a distance using the remote. On a hot day the driver can lower the windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the Cayenne can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

The Cullinan’s power side reverse swing out doors make it much easier to load and unload kids and cargo. One touch opens the door, before you even get to the sport utility. The Cayenne doesn’t offer a power rear door.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the Cullinan has standard extendable sun visors. The Cayenne doesn’t offer extendable visors.

The Cullinan has standard massaging front seats. Massaging front seats cost extra on the Cayenne. The Cullinan also offers optional massaging rear seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging rear seats aren’t available in the Cayenne.
