controversial looks help the Urus to stand out, and its mix of acute angles and sharp creases, high sides and small windows indicate it certainly looks like no other SUV on the road. It has the performance to match, too, and it’s hard to think of any individual who drives the Urus failing to be pleased with its sheer size-defying pace in a straight line and around corners. Or its sheer drama and road presence – the Urus really does feel like a supercar on steroids, with your partner, kids and pet dog along for the ride.
About the Lamborghini Urus
Building the Lamborghini Urus was the price the company had to pay to help it continue to build supercars. After all, it worked for Porsche, so why shouldn’t the Italians try it too? It’s not Lamborghini’s first SUV – the boxy, typically forgotten LM002 was the utmost off-roader of the 1980s and 1990s – but the Urus is aiming to take sales in what has become an intensely competitive market; the high-performance SUV sector.

The Urus arrived in the UK in 2018, and it’s available for sale alongside the company’s Huracan and Aventador models, but it has very different specs to those two. For starters, it’s front-engined, and it doesn’t have a V10 or V12, instead, it gets a twin-turbo V8 that is also found in two of the Urus’ closest rivals, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and Bentley Bentayga. There’s 641bhp on tap, which gives the Urus a claimed 0-62mph time of 3.6 seconds. top speed is rated at 190mph.
