The all-new aluminium SUV's will be available from 2018 onwards.

As part of the development process, the model will travel to numerous locations around the world in a challenging testing programme to ensure that the end product is 'Effortless...Everywhere'.

After Christmas, Project Cullinan will enter the Arctic Circle and undergo cold weather durability and traction testing.

Then in 2017, it will travel to the Middle East where it will endure the highest temperatures on earth and challenging dessert conditions.
