Compare the2025 Dodge Durango SRTVS 2025 Rolls-Royce Cullinan

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Dodge Durango SRT are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

Both the Durango SRT and the Cullinan have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning, available crash mitigating brakes and lane departure warning systems.

Dodge’s powertrain warranty covers the Durango SRT 1 year longer than Rolls-Royce covers the Cullinan. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the Cullinan ends after only 4 years.

The Durango SRT’s corrosion warranty is 1 year longer than the Cullinan’s (5 vs. 4 years).

There are over 63 times as many Dodge dealers as there are Rolls-Royce dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Durango SRT’s warranty.

The Dodge Durango SRT’s engine uses a cast iron block for durability, while the Cullinan’s engines use an aluminum block. Aluminum engine blocks are much more prone to warp and crack at high temperatures than cast iron.

The Durango SRT’s 6.2 supercharged V8 produces 147 more horsepower (710 vs. 563) and 18 lbs.-ft. more torque (645 vs. 627) than the Cullinan’s standard 6.8 turbo V12. The Durango SRT’s 6.2 supercharged V8 produces 118 more horsepower (710 vs. 592) than the Cullinan Black Badge’s standard 6.8 turbo V12.

As tested in Car and Driver the Dodge Durango SRT is faster than the Rolls-Royce Cullinan (base engine):

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the Durango SRT’s fuel efficiency. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

For more complete vehicle control the Durango SRT has a manually controlled automatic, with the available convenience of an automatic transmission and the complete gear control of a manual transmission without the inconvenience of a clutch. A manually controlled automatic allows the driver to eliminate unwanted shifts and maximize engine braking by down shifting while cornering. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a transmission that allows complete gear control.

The Durango SRT’s launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM’s precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The Cullinan doesn’t offer launch control.

The Durango SRT stops shorter than the Cullinan:

For better traction, the Durango SRT has larger tires than the Cullinan (295/45R20 vs. 255/45R22). The Durango SRT’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Cullinan (295/45R20 vs. 255/40R23).

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires standard on the Durango SRT can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. Run-flat tires aren’t available on some tire packages on the Cullinan.

The Durango SRT has a standard space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. A spare tire isn’t available on the Cullinan; it requires you to depend on its run-flat tires, which limits mileage and speed before they are repaired. If a run-flat is damaged beyond repair by a road hazard your vehicle will have to be towed. Some tire options on the Cullinan don’t have a run-flat feature, either.

The Durango SRT 392 handles at .88 G’s, while the Cullinan pulls only .83 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Durango SRT Hellcat executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 1.6 seconds quicker than the Cullinan Black Badge (25 seconds @ .77 average G’s vs. 26.6 seconds @ .68 average G’s).

For better maneuverability, the Durango SRT’s turning circle is 2.3 feet tighter than the Cullinan’s (41 feet vs. 43.3 feet).

For greater off-road capability the Durango SRT has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Cullinan (7.8 vs. 6.8 inches), allowing the Durango SRT to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

The Dodge Durango SRT may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 450 to 750 pounds less than the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The Durango SRT is 9.8 inches shorter than the Cullinan, making the Durango SRT easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

For excellent aerodynamics, the Durango SRT has standard flush composite headlights. The Cullinan has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.

The Durango SRT uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Cullinan doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

The Durango SRT has standard seating for 7 passengers; the Cullinan can only carry up to 5.

The Durango SRT has 29.4 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Cullinan (141.4 vs. 112).

The Durango SRT’s cargo area provides more volume than the Cullinan.

The Durango SRT’s available rear seats fold to accommodate long and bulky cargo. The Cullinan w/Executive Rear Seats doesn’t offer folding rear seats, only a ski pass-through.

The Durango SRT’s liftgate lifts up in one piece, completely out of the way of loading and unloading, while sheltering the cargo loading area. The Cullinan’s tailgate’s top part raises up, but the bottom part lowers, getting in the way of loading and making an uneven surface for sliding cargo.

Standard Trailer Sway Control on the Durango SRT uses the Electronic Stability Control sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady. The Cullinan doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.

The Durango SRT has a much higher standard payload capacity than the Cullinan (1590 vs. 1012 lbs.).

The Durango SRT has a much higher maximum payload capacity than the Cullinan (1590 vs. 1027 lbs.).

The Durango SRT has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

The Durango SRT’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The Cullinan does not have an oil pressure gauge.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Durango SRT has a standard rear fixed intermittent wiper with a full on position. The rear wiper standard on the Cullinan only has an intermittent setting, so in a hard rain visibility isn’t as good.

The Durango SRT has a 115-volt a/c outlet on the center console, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The Cullinan doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.

The Dodge Durango outsold the Rolls-Royce Cullinan by over 67 to one during 2024.
