At the Heart of the Lamborghini Urus is a twin-turbocharged V8 engine displacing 4.0L and making 641 horsepower. This engine is paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission sending power to all four wheels. Braking is handled by enormous carbon ceramic disc brakes front and rear, allowing the big SUV to stop in sports car-like distances. Acceleration, as expected, is incredibly rapid, with 0-60 mph achievable in well under 4 seconds, while Lamborghini claims that the Urus is capable of travelling 190 mph flat out. While those all sound like supercar numbers, the Urus also has several different off-road modes, as well as air springs that can raise the ride height of the vehicle for traversing tricky terrain. Virtually no vehicle on the market has as much versatility as the Urus.
Lamborghini doesn't really offer different trim levels on the Urus, instead giving buyers a plethora of options in order to customize their Urus exactly as they want it. This feeling of customization carries over into the driving experience through Lamborghini's drive mode selector, which features no fewer than three on road settings and three off road settings, as well as a personalization setting that allows drivers to mix and match various drive modes. That way, drivers will always feel in control weather driving through a sandy desert, or just dealing with a bit of snow on a daily commute.
Some of the array of style options available on the Urus include a choice of four different wheel types, ranging in size from the standard 21-inches all the way up to 23-inches, brake calipers that can be painted one of six different colors, a panoramic sunroof, carbon fiber body pieces around the bottom of the car, or over the fenders and exhaust tips that can be ordered in bright chrome, satin chrome or matte black.
Inside buyers are presented with a ton of upholstery options. Single or multicolor leather seats can be ordered in a variety of hues with contrasting stitching if so desired, while a more luxurious "Elegante Leather" option also exists with its own color palette. Of course, some buyers prefer something a little less slipperier for serious track work, so the single or multi-color options can also be ordered with alcantara to provide a little more grip.
The choice of materials continues to the steering wheel which can be ordered with suede, perforated leather or just plain leather as well. The dashboard and surrounding area can be trimmed in either carbon fiber or wood, with several options there as well including an extremely handsome stained black wood option.
Electronic interior feature packages are similarly exotic, with an available night vision package to aid night driving using an infrared camera that displays its output next to the speedometer. A hands free tailgate can be opened by kicking a foot under the rear bumper, while a heads up display projects vital information such as speed and RPM on the windshield. Of course all of the latest driver assist safety features are available as well including a lane keep assist system and radar guided cruise control.
