The SUV accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 312 km/h. Despite these impressive figures, the new model weighs 2,473 kg, which is 32 kg lighter than the previous Urus SE.
A significant feature is the AURA dual-chamber air suspension system, which reduces body roll by 55% during spirited driving and cuts comfort-related vibrations by 25%. The Urus SE Performante also introduces a Rally mode for off-road driving, alongside its existing driving modes.
Inside, the SUV features a 12.3-inch infotainment display with updated graphics and new cabin materials. Lamborghini's CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, stated, “Today, with Urus SE Performante, we are taking the concept of the Super SUV to its peak.”7
Despite its advancements, some critics note that the Urus SE Performante cannot outperform the previous non-electrified Urus Performante in a 0-62 mph sprint, highlighting the challenges of maintaining performance with added electric components.
The Urus SE Performante is seen as a crucial product for Lamborghini, aiming to boost sales significantly, yet online interest appears to be lacking, raising questions about its market reception.
“The hybrid SUV delivers 800 bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque, with a 0–100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 312 km/h. It also gains a new Rally mode for off-road driving and a redesigned 12.3-inch infotainment system, while shedding 32 kg compared to the Urus SE.”
