Lamborghini Urus launched in India priced at Rs. 3 crore

The Lamborghini Urus, which made its global debut in December 2017, has now been launched in India. The SUV is priced at Rs. 3 crore (ex-showroom, India).

After the LM002, the Urus is Lamborghini's second attempt at building a high-performance SUV. It is based on the Volkswagen Group's MLB Evo platform, shared with the Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne and the Audi Q7. The Urus measures 5,112 mm in length, 2,016 mm in width and 1,638 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 3,003 mm and comes with an 85-litre fuel tank. 

The design of the Urus draws inspiration from the 1980's LM002. The exterior styling is more in tune with the recent design trends at Lamborghini. The front features an inverted U-shaped grille with large air dams on either side while the LED headlights feature Y-shaped DRLs. The Urus has a coupe-like side profile with bold feature lines. The rear features a roof spoiler, raked windshield and Y-shaped LED tail lights in addition to quad-exhaust tips.

Inside, the Urus is offered in 4 or 5 seat configurations. It comes with a three-spoke, multi-functional steering wheel and a TFT instrument cluster. The centre console houses two touchscreen panels - one for the infotainment system while the other provides an interface for the automatic climate control and seat ventilation and heating. Lamborghini's ANIMA drive mode selector has been placed between the front seats.

The Lamborghini Urus is powered by a 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 petrol engine that produces 641 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 850 Nm of torque @ 2,250-4,500 rpm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It also has four-wheel steering with dynamic torque vectoring. ANIMA offers 7 driving modes - Strada, Corsa, Sport, Neve (snow), Terra (off-road), Sabbia (sand) and a user customizable EGO mode.

Despite its 2,200 kg kerb weight, Lamborghini claims that it will do 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 305 km/h. The SUV rides on 21-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 285/45 ZR21 and 315/40 ZR21 tyres in the front and rear respectively. It comes with ceramic brakes measuring 440 mm in the front and 370 mm in the rear.
