9 days ago | 17 Views
Lamborghini has taken the wrap off its much awaited and much hyped Urus SE, which is essentially the plug-in hybrid version of the performance SUV. The Lamborghini Urus SE comes positioned along with the other two variants of the automaker's bestselling model, namely the Performante and S. The OEM claims that delivries for the Lamborghini Urus SE will commence from July this year.
Lamborghini has given the SUV a nip and tuck on the design front with updated matrix LED headlamps with revised LED anytime running lights. There are some discreet tweaks to the car with front profile design elements derived from the Revuelto, while the rear apparently takes after the Gallardo.
Lamborghini Urus SE comes available in more than 100 ecterior colour options, while it also gets 47 interior themes. The consumers can also opt for the exclusive customisation program for the performance SUV through Lamborghini's Ad Persona program, which offers customisation of its cars as per the buyer's choice at a premium over the standard model.
The hybrid Urus comes with a pair of 12.3-inch screens and four new selectable modes: EV Drive, Hybrid, Performance, and Recharge, which are on top of the usual Strada, Sport, Corsa, Neve, Sabbia, and Terra.
The Lamborghini Urus SE gets a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol engine paired with an electric motor. Housed with an eight-speed automatic transmission the electric motor produces 186 bhp peak power and 482 Nm maximum torque. Combined, the electrified powertrain churns out 778 bhp peak power at 6,000 rpm and 950 Nm of mammoth torque output from 1,750 rpm. The PHEV version of Urus generates more power than the non-hybrid version. Adding the lower emission to that creates a winning combination for the SUV.
For the electrification duty, the Lamborghini Urus SE uses a 25.7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that is mounted under the cargo floor. It offers 60 kilometres of pure electric range. Driven in EV mode, the SUV claims to top out at 130 kmph. If the driver keeps pressing, the V8 motor automatically kicks in after that. The supercar marque claims the new Urus SE offers 80 per cent lower emissions compared to the pure ICE version.
Lamborghini claims that compared to the Urus S, the new Urus SE is 0.1 seconds quicker to reach 0-100 kmph. It takes 3.4 seconds to reach 100 kmph from a standstill position. However, the Performante remains the quickest Urus at 3.3 seconds. The new Urus SE reaches 0-200 kmph in 1.4 seconds, faster than the petrol-only version by 1.1 seconds and even 0.1 seconds quicker than the spicy Urus Performante. The new electrified Urus can reach 312 kmph top speed flat out.
