Lamborghini has launched the new Urus SE in India at a starting price of Rs. 4.57 crore, ex-showroom. The Urus is now a plug-in hybrid, as the new SE variant replaces the Performante and S variants that were previously available. Apart from a new powertrain under the hood, the Urus SE also gets revised exterior and interior styling along with tech and feature upgrades.

Lamborghini Urus SE powertrain, specs
Powering the Urus SE is the familiar 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine that now produces 620hp and 800Nm on its own. The engine has been thoroughly re-engineered to be coupled with the plug-in hybrid system that uses a 25.9kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The electric motor is housed within the 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, just as in the Revuelto, and the total system output stands at 800hp and 950Nm.
The Urus SE has an electric-only range of 60km and can be run in EV mode at speeds of up to 130kph before the combustion engine automatically kicks in. Even in electric mode, the Urus SE has four-wheel drive, and Lamborghini claims a 0-100kph sprint time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 312kph.
Lamborghini Urus SE drive modes, suspension
Apart from the familiar Strada, Sport and Corsa modes (for road and track use), and the Neve, Sabbia and Terra modes (for off-road use), the Urus SE gets four additional modes – EV Drive, Hybrid, Recharge and Performance – for a total of ten drive modes. The new Recharge mode (usable in Strada, Sport, Corsa and Neve modes) allows up to 80 percent of the battery to be recharged while still maintaining optimal performance, says Lamborghini; the Performance mode can be accessed in both on-road and off-road modes.
The Urus SE gets air suspension and an electronic limited-slip rear differential as well as revised electronics and 48V anti-roll bars to control pitch, yaw and lean.
Lamborghini Urus SE exterior, interior, features
Although the overall design appears familiar, there’s an all-new bonnet that extends right to edge of the nose, and the absence of the cut-off line gives a sense of continuity. It also gets new headlamps that are slimmer and feature LED matrix technology; the new LED signature is a departure from the signature Y-motifs, and there’s also a new bumper and grille assembly that appears larger and more aggressive than before.
At the rear, the Urus SE gets an all-new tailgate with a contrasting trim connecting the Y-shaped LED tail-lights; there’s a new spoiler and the registration plate has been relocated to the diffuser, which itself has grown larger and more prominent. It also gets new designs for the wheels, which can be had in 21-, 22- or 23-inch sizes, and come wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres.
On the inside, there are new panels for the dashboard that have a more 3D-look than before, the AC vents have been slightly revised and the seats are new as well. But the bigger update is a new 12.3-inch central touchscreen (up from 10.1-inch) that runs the latest software and user interface seen on the Revuelto. As ever, there are a ton of customisation options that one can opt for, including over a 100 exterior colour options and 47 interior finishes, with the additional potential offered via the Ad Personam program.
