Lamborghini Urus

Urus Overview

Well known for amazing supercars like Aventador and Huracan, Lamborghini added an SUV to its range in 2018, called Urus. It has come along to revive the LM 002 spirit for the modern world and arrived just in time when the SUV revolution is in full swing. In two years only, it became the brand's best selling model; the automaker sold 4,962 units of the SUV last year, and its production also crossed the milestone of 10,000 units. The SUV touched down the Malaysian shores after three months of the global premier and comes in only one turbocharged petrol automatic engine locally. For 2021, Lamborghini introduced some wilder paint options for the hypercar. These include bright green, orange, and yellow as part of the latest Pearl Capsule appearance package. The kit also added some unique touches inside out. The SUV retails for RM 1 Million. 

Lamborghini Urus Interior & Features

Inside, there is a dramatic cabin in a classic Lambo style that features jet-fighter design cues with the start button positioned beneath a red flip cover, and the gear shifter resembles a jet's throttle. The jet-inspired centre console and dashboard look futuristic with the two large touch screens placed in the middle, one for the infotainment system and the other for multiple comfort functions. The high raised centre tunnel also retains tempting toggle-like buttons. The cockpit houses a flat bottom multi-functional steering wheel and a full TFT instrument console, with the latter having several display modes for various data onboard. The SUV comes with a lot of processing power to handle all the things quickly, which at times can be finicky to adjust. Ultra-supportive sports seats are upholstered in a unique way that screams performance. For most of the surfaces, the endless customization options are available, with everything from leather to carbon fibre. The new package offers dual-tone upholstery, hexagon-shaped Q-Citura stitching with a logo on seats' headrests, carbon fibre, and black anodized aluminum inserts, and matching color streaks on centre console, door trim, dash trim, seats, and cup holders. 

Urus Exterior

Comes with a heightened stance like other SUVs, Lamborghini Urus looks unmistakable on the roads with its undisputed design language full of cuts, angles, and sharp creases. Upfront, there is an angular and horizontally laid LED headlamps that feature Y-shaped LED daytime running lights inherited from traditional Lambo models. The front bumper has a massive grille boasting aggressive design and geometry in a good sense. On the sides, there are giant 21-inch alloy wheels wrapped in angular wheel arches to give it a sharp look. The rear design boasts slim and angular LED taillights and a sleek black applique between them, along with a wide rear bumper with aggressively styled inserts and four quad mortar pipes, two on either side of a rear aerodynamic splitter.

The standard exterior colour palette includes 10 shades classified on a different basis; Solid options include Nero Noctis, Bianco Monocerus, and Giallo Auge; Metallic includes Nero Helene, Bianco Icarus, and Grigio Nimbus; Red shades are Red Rosso Mars, and Rosso Anteros, and the Blue tones are Blu Astraeus and Blu Eleos.

The other highlights of the package are black trim pieces for the roof, rear diffuser, and spoiler. The new Urus comes with 23-inch wheels in black and the corresponding body color combination.

Lamborghini Urus Ride & Handling

The SUV rides on large 21-inch wheels and feels athletic from behind the wheel, thanks to quick steering and well-balanced high-speed cornering. The active torque vectoring and adaptive air suspension at all four corners with active dampers make the driving effortless in both on and off-road. The air suspension comes in three different ride heights, and also there are three types of settings each for the powertrain, steering, and damping.

Urus Engine & Fuel Consumption

Powering the Lamborghini Urus is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine producing 650 PS of power at 6,000 rpm and 850 Nm of peak torque between 2,250 rpm and 4,500 rpm. The engine burbles deeply when idling, and howls under full throttle. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive conspire with all that power for fantastic acceleration.
