For 2022, Lamborghini doesn't make any notable changes to the Urus. The super SUV is still powered by a 641-hp twin-turbo V-8 that pairs with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The Italian automaker is known for introducing limited-edition models and special appearance packs, any of which could be added during the model year.
------------
Although the Urus costs close to a quarter of a million dollars, it's still the least costly Lamborghini you can buy. Add the fact that it can haul more than two people and an ample amount of luggage and it's also the best value in the Italian company's lineup. Our recommended version would play up its highly extroverted style with the new Pearl Capsule appearance package. We especially like it in the Verde Mantis green paint, which is offset by black exterior details and huge 23-inch wheels. The interior color scheme is set to match. We'd add the front seats with ventilation and massage functions for increased luxury, and we'd switch to the four-seat configuration that reduces passenger capacity by one but brings rear-seat power adjustments and heated surfaces. We assume rich people don't want to ride three-deep in the back seat anyway. The other options we'd choose are the upgraded sound system, hands-free tailgate, rear-seat entertainment system, and the available Off-Road drive modes.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Urus is powered by a twin-turbo V-8 that makes a stout 641 horsepower, burbles deeply when idling, and absolutely howls under full throttle. Permanent all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission conspire with all that power to enable fantastic acceleration. In our testing, the Urus went from rocketed to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and tore up the quarter-mile in 11.3 seconds at 121 mph. Likewise, Lamborghini estimates a top speed of 190 mph. The Urus feels athletic from behind the wheel, too, with quick steering and stable high-speed cornering. With air springs at all four corners, the Urus has adjustable ride heights based on its various drive modes. Standard carbon-ceramic brakes ensure that the Urus stops as well as it goes-braking from 70 mph to a stop in 149 feet.
