L AMBORGHINI URUS THE SUPERCAR OF SUVs
When invited to test drive the Lamborghini Urus by Lamborghini Birmingham I obviously jumped at the chance, having already heard from an acquaintance who owns one that this was no ordinary SUV, I was looking forward to testing what had already been described to me as the supercar of SUVs for myself to see just how well it performed.
EXTERIOR STYLING 106
As you approach the vehicle it is immediately clear that the Lamborghini Urus has a cutting-edge, distinct and streamlined design. Its muscular surfaces make it appear strong and self-secure, while the specified tires allow a luxury super sports car look. All the surfaces are designed with a clear attention to functionality. Some Lamborghini details and iconic shapes can be immediately recognized at first glance, such as the “Y” and the hexagon elements, the front bonnet with center peak and the cross lines on rear door. The extreme proportions and the single silhouette line make Urus a real Lamborghini. Furthermore, its proportions are unique since it is the lowest SUV in its class.
INTERIOR
The interior does not disappoint either, luxurious Italian craftsmanship meets state-of-the-art technology. The aeronautic design and the driver-oriented instrument concept with three TFT screens (one for the instruments, one for infotainment and one for comfort functions, including virtual keyboard feature with hand-writing recognition) put the driver’s needs at the forefront and make the overall experience more comfortable and enjoyable. The dashboard architecture follows the “Y” theme inspired by iconic Lamborghini models. The interior can be customized, starting from the five-seater architecture with bench seat, or four seats with two individual back seats like the vehicle I was driving, and can be made even more elegant or sportier, through the selection of different kinds of colors and
Lamborghini Urus is equipped with state-of-the-art of vehicle dynamics technology. It provides the most comprehensive standard driving dynamics equipment in the SUV segment. Urus ensures the best performance in every situation while also attaining the best weight-to-power ratio in the entire SUV segment, mainly thanks to its best-in-class driving dynamics with a unique, outstanding and completely adaptable package: 4-wheel-steering, 4-wheel-drive system carbon ceramic brakes and rims up to 23" with Pirelli tires for all road conditions.
If you are in the market for an SUV and love super cars look no further, but don’t take my word for it, book a test drive; I can assure you, you will not be disappointed.
materials, the Urus additional options list is vast allowing you to build a car that is totally unique to you.
THE DRIVE
None of this however can prepare you for the drive, The Urus really is in a class of it’s own, I have driven and owned many SUVs but none of them have ever offered this level of performance, it is extremely responsive under any condition and the power feels like it is never ending, the Lamborghini Urus integrates a V8 bi-turbo engine with a maximum power output of 478 kW / 650 HP, the best weight-to-power ratio on the SUV market. For this reason, Urus’ performance level is unrivalled. The 8-gear automatic transmission, together with the permanent 4-wheel drive system with active torque vectoring, enable the driver to perform exceptionally on every occasion and in every situation, even if the roads are extremely wet like the day I drove the vehicle it is going nowhere no matter how hard it is pushed. Urus can be enjoyed whether in the city, on the racetrack, on a snowy mountain, on gravel country roads. The torque is directed mainly to the rear axle, so that the general dynamic behavior is of a sports car.
