Summary


The Lamborghini Urus is a large SUV, built on the same platform as the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Bentley Bentayga. It was unveiled in late 2017 and arrived in the UK market in 2018.

The Urus is Lamborghini’s first luxury SUV, although not its first off-road vehicle – that was the cult favourite LM002 from the 1980s. It was somewhat controversial when it was launched, although with nowhere near the levels of outrage that accompanied the Porsche Cayenne nearly 20 years ago.

As of January 2024, the Lamborghini Urus holds a New Car Expert Rating of D with a score of 54%. It has been (inevitably) praised for its performance, but also commended for being relatively quiet and comfortable. The main negatives have been (inevitably) the price tag and questions about its general relevance in the world.

Safety rating


Independent crash test and safety ratings from Euro NCAP

No safety rating

As of January 2024, the Lamborghini Urus has not been crash tested by Euro NCAP and we are not expecting this to ever happen. If it does, we will update this section accordingly.

Eco rating


Independent economy and emissions ratings from Green NCAP

No eco rating

As of January 2024, the Lamborghini Urus has not been lab tested by Green NCAP. We’re not expecting the Urus to ever actually be tested, but we’ll published the results here if it happens. But given that it’s a 4.4-litre petrol twin-turbo V8 SUV, it would be unlikely to score highly…

The Lamborghini Urus is a very expensive car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.

The car’s fuel economy of 22 mpg is one of the poorest fuel consumption stats in our Expert Rating Index, and insurance premiums are in the most expensive bracket too.
