The Lamborghini Urus SE isn’t just an evolution—it’s a revolution. As Lamborghini’s first plug-in hybrid Super SUV, the Urus SE blends electrification with raw V8 aggression, creating a machine that feels both futuristic and unmistakably Lamborghini.
But does adding hybrid tech dilute the Urus experience—or elevate it? Let’s break it down.
Powertrain & Performance: Electrified Fury
At the heart of the Urus SE lies a reworked 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor. Combined, the system produces a staggering 789 horsepower and 700+ lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful Urus ever built.
- 0–100 km/h: ~3.4 seconds
- Top speed: ~312 km/h
- Electric-only range: ~60 km
Unlike many hybrids, the Urus SE doesn’t feel like it’s compensating—it feels enhanced. Instant electric torque sharpens throttle response, while the V8 still delivers that unmistakable Lamborghini roar.
This isn’t efficiency-first engineering. It’s performance-first electrification.
Hybrid System: Smart, Not Soft
The plug-in hybrid system allows the Urus SE to operate in multiple modes:
- EV Mode – Silent, smooth, city-friendly driving
- Hybrid Mode – Balanced efficiency and performance
- Performance Modes – Maximum output with both power sources unleashed
Lamborghini has tuned the system to feel aggressive rather than restrained. Even in hybrid operation, the SUV maintains a sharp, responsive character.
Driving Experience: Still a Super SUV
Despite added weight from the battery, Lamborghini has reworked the chassis, suspension, and torque vectoring to keep the Urus razor-sharp.
The result?
- Exceptional cornering for a vehicle this size
- Immediate throttle response thanks to electrification
- Improved stability at high speeds
It still feels closer to a supercar than an SUV—something few rivals can replicate.
Exterior Design: Sharper, Smarter, Meaner
Visually, the Urus SE evolves the aggressive DNA of the original Urus with subtle but meaningful updates:
- Redesigned front fascia with improved aerodynamics
- New LED lighting signatures
- Revised rear diffuser and tailgate design
- Updated wheel options
The design tweaks aren’t dramatic—but they sharpen the Urus into something more modern and technical.
Interior: High-Tech Meets Italian Drama
Inside, the Urus SE gets a significant upgrade in both tech and materials.
Highlights include:
- Updated infotainment system with improved UI
- Larger central display
- Enhanced driver interface with hybrid data visualization
- Premium materials throughout (carbon fiber, Alcantara, leather)
The cabin still feels like a cockpit—but now with a more digital, futuristic edge.
Urus SE vs Urus S: What’s Changed?
Compared to the Lamborghini Urus S:
- More power (+100+ HP)
- Hybrid capability (EV driving + efficiency gains)
- New tech and updated interior
- Improved dynamics through electrification
The SE isn’t just a trim—it’s a generational leap.
Verdict: The Future of Super SUVs
The Lamborghini Urus SE proves that electrification doesn’t have to mean compromise. Instead, it enhances everything that made the Urus iconic—speed, aggression, and drama.
Pros
- Class-leading performance
- Instant electric torque
- Improved tech and usability
- Retains Lamborghini character
Cons
- Likely higher price point
- Added complexity of hybrid system
- Slight weight increase
Final Thoughts
The Urus SE sets a new benchmark in the luxury performance SUV segment. It’s faster, smarter, and more advanced—without losing its soul.
If this is the direction Lamborghini is heading, the future looks electrifying in every sense.
