Lamborghini Urus

Urus Overview

The most significant revelation from Lamborghini in the past decade, the Urus is one significant landmark in the history of the Italian supercar maker. The Lamborghini Urus is the company’s first SUV in all these years after a short run of Lamborghini LM002 a long time ago. The only hyper SUV from Lamborghini apart from the two supercars it sells, the Urus is available with only one turbocharged petrol automatic powertrain as standard.

Lamborghini Urus Interior & Features

Step into the cabin, and the Lamborghini Urus exhibits that traditional space-age interior layout in its most contemporary form. The interior cabin, while having a cockpit-like feel to it, now includes many modern features and equipment which were missing in the other two offerings from Lamborghini.

Both the flat bottom multi-functional steering wheel as well as full TFT instrument console look extremely modern and are all new design components, with the latter having various modes for the display of various data onboard.

Lamborghini has made the Urus feel even more futuristic by making the aircraft-inspired centre console and dashboard modern with the presence of two large touchscreens laid out in the middle – one for the infotainment system and the lower one for the multiple comfort functions, while retaining the very tempting toggle like buttons in the high raised centre tunnel.

As in every other luxury vehicle, the Lamborghini Urus has top-notch features and quality bits, with natural leather, Alcantara, premium wood, aluminium and carbon inserts at places. And while this is the only four-door vehicle in Lamborghini’s lineup with a rear seating configuration, space at the rear is adequate and is good enough only for two.

Urus Exterior

While the Lamborghini Urus has a heightened stance like any other SUV, it has that undisputed Lamborghini design language full of cuts, sharp creases, and angles, which make it look sharp and futuristic. With the traditional Lamborghini look, it surely is the sharpest looking SUV in recent times.

The front of the Lamborghini Urus has a sloping design with angular and horizontally laid full LED headlamps and prominent bulges on the bonnet. The front bumper has massive grille which has a very busy and aggressive design exhibiting geometry in a good sense.

The sloping roofline and sharply rising shoulder line give the Lamborghini Urus a very coupe-like design. However, the high ground clearance and large 21-inch wheels suggest that it has the personality of a high riding vehicle. The wheel arches too certainly look different with a good mix of rounds and angles.

At the rear, Lamborghini has resorted to minimalism blended with aggression, with the slim and angular LED tail lamps and a sleek black appliqué between them, along with a large rear bumper with aggressively styled inserts and exhaust pipes.

Lamborghini Urus Ride & Handling

Riding on large 21-inch wheels, the Lamborghini Urus has premium sport suspension and hardware, consisting of four-wheel steering, four-wheel-drive system with active torque vectoring, adaptive air suspension with active dampers and carbon-ceramic brakes, which make the driving experience in both on and off-road very effortless.

Urus Engine & Fuel Consumption

For the Lamborghini Urus, the Italian marquee has not resorted to the traditional way of plonking in a naturally aspirated engine. Instead, the Urus gets a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, which belts out a maximum power output of 650 PS and a peak torque output of 850 Nm. Paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, the powertrain has four-wheel drive with limited-slip differential as standard and is able to propel the car to a maximum speed of 305 kmph, while covering the 0-100 kmph sprint in just 3.6 seconds, thus making it the fastest production SUV for the time being.

Lamborghini Urus Braking & Safety

The Lamborghini Urus is blessed with all the top of the range safety features like airbags all around, ABS with EBD, moving object detection system, acceleration skid control, active understeer control, blind-spot warning, collision detection, cornering assist, hill assist, hill descent control, lane departure warning, front and rear parking sensors, and camera, road sign assist rollover stability control, tire pressure monitoring system, traction control, and vehicle stability control.

Urus Verdict

The Lamborghini Urus might not be an out and out off-roading vehicle, but has got the right amount of road presence with its snazzy looks, premium, and futuristic interior, bewildering performance, and great driving dynamics package, making it one of the best SUVs on sale right now.
