The Lamborghini Urus is significantly lighter than many of its competitors (i.e. the
BMW X6 M,
Bentley Bentayga and
Rolls-Royce Cullinan, but not the
Porsche Cayenne) at less than as quoted by the manufacturer mainly because of the extensive usage of
carbon fibre reinforced polymer, despite using the same platform as the
Audi Q7,
Bentley Bentayga,
Porsche Cayenne, and
Volkswagen Touareg. and a top speed of making it one of the world's fastest production SUVs. The Urus can accelerate from 0– in 3.6 seconds and 0– in 12.8 seconds. Lamborghini has developed the world's largest set of
carbon ceramic disc brakes for the Urus at the time of its release, with discs in the front and discs in the rear using ten-piston callipers at the front and single-piston calipers at the rear. The
all-wheel drive system of the Urus under normal driving sends 40 percent of the available torque to the front wheels and 60 percent to the rear wheels. It also uses
torque vectoring to send as much as 70 percent to the front or 87 percent to the rear, when necessary. The SUV also features rear-wheel steering and an
air suspension system that can provide a maximum of of
ground clearance for off-road use. The SUV is available with an optional off-road package, which includes modified front and rear bumpers that are better suited to the task. An unadorned Urus comes standard with a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8, an eight-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, 21-inch wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, a rear-axle torque-vectoring system, and four-wheel steering. On the inside, the Urus comes with a simulated suede headliner and leather seating surfaces. The front seats feature 12-way power adjustment, position memory, seat heating, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. The rear seats can be configured as either a three-person bench or two-person sport seats, and four-zone automatic climate control is standard. The Urus, like all of
Lamborghini's current offerings, features a selection of driving modes, which adapt the suspension to improve the car's performance in various driving conditions. The Lamborghini Urus features Strada (street), Sport, Corsa (track), Terra (dirt), Sabbia (sand), and Neve (snow) driving modes, with the latter three possibly only available on the off-road package offered. The Urus has a seating capacity of four to five people.
Powertrain The Urus does not use Lamborghini's hallmark of naturally aspirated
V10 (as used in the concept) or
V12 engines. Instead, the Urus is powered by a 4.0-litre
twin-turbocharged V8, a modified version of
Audi's 4.0-litre V8. The engine is rated at a maximum power output of at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of at 2,250–4,500 rpm. The engine has been heavily reworked for the Urus, and is uprated by and of torque more than the Cayenne Turbo, with changes such as new cylinder heads. The engine is assembled at a Volkswagen plant in Hungary and is shipped to Lamborghini's assembly plant. The Urus accelerates from 0 to in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of . The
EPA fuel economy is rated at combined (city and highway), city, and highway. ==Special variants==
