Overview
The Urus is Lamborghini’s second SUV, following the “Rambo Lambo” LM002, but it’s not exactly a purebred Italian. It rides on the same platform as other elegant beasts of burden such as the Audi Q7, Q8, Porsche Cayenne, and the Bentley Bentayga. Even the 657-hp twin-turbo V-8 is made in Germany before getting shipped to Sant’Agata Bolognese, where the Urus is assembled. An upcoming hybrid powertrain will double down on the Urus’s saddle of electronics. From its eight-speed automatic transmission to its Torsen center differential and torque-vectoring rear diff, the Urus is the most advanced mechanical bull around.
What’s New for 2024?
Lamborghini doesn’t change much for the 2024 Urus, but CEO Stefan Winkelmann did confirm that the high-performance SUV will get a hybrid powertrain, either replacing or complementing the current 657-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine. We expect the hybrid Urus to arrive for the 2025 model year.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 Lamborghini Urus starts at $241.843 and goes up to $273.880 depending on the trim and options.
S: $241,843
Performante: $273,880
Sure, we could save about $32K by opting for the standard-issue Urus S, but that means we’d also miss out on maximum performance. That’s why we want the Performante, which features a lower suspension with firmer steel springs, myriad weight-reduction measures, and more. We’d opt for the larger 23-inch wheels, too, wrapped in racetrack-ready Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R rubber. Again, the mission is max performance.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Urus is powered by a 657-hp twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8. The Urus’s engine burbles deeply when idling, and absolutely howls under full throttle. Permanent all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission conspire with all that power to enable fantastic acceleration. In our testing, the Urus went from rocketed to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and tore up the quarter-mile in 11.3 seconds at 121 mph. Likewise, Lamborghini estimates a top speed of 190 mph. The Urus feels athletic from behind the wheel, too, with quick steering and stable high-speed cornering. With air springs at all four corners, the Urus has adjustable ride heights based on its various drive modes. Standard carbon-ceramic brakes ensure that the Urus stops as well as it goes—braking from 70 mph to a stop in 149 feet. For drivers who want an even racier Urus, the new Performante model is the answer. It sits 0.8 inch lower and is claimed to 104 pounds lighter than the standard version. It’s available with 23-inch wheels and super-sticky Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. Plus, the Performante alone has a steel-spring suspension and a different center differential that sends more torque rearward than normal. The ultra-Urus also introduces a new Rally drive mode that’s intended for unpaved surfaces.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Inside, occupants are treated to a dramatic cabin that’s classic Lambo. Jet-fighter design cues abound, with the start button hiding beneath a red flip cover and the shifter looking like a jet’s throttle. To the left of the shifter are levers that control the drive modes and allow customizable performance settings. There is plenty of faux-suede and carbon-fiber trim, while the infotainment system and reconfigurable gauges are straight out of an Audi. The back seat has good passenger space and can fit between two and three people depending on which seating configuration is selected. Interior cubby storage is highlighted by useful door pockets and a bin behind the floating center stack. The Urus also offers up to 22 cubic feet in its cargo area but that drops by 2 cubes with the optional rear bucket seats.
