The 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE, presented in an authoritative Nero Noctis, signifies a profound evolution for the super SUV segment, introducing a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrain that enhances both performance and efficiency. This formidable vehicle is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, meticulously integrated with an electric motor, delivering a staggering combined system output of 800 HP. The V8 alone contributes 620 HP, complemented by 192 HP from the electric motor, resulting in a colossal 950 Nm (96.9 kgf·m) of torque, available from remarkably low RPMs. This immense power is managed by an 8-speed automatic transmission and distributed to all four wheels through an advanced all-wheel-drive system, which now includes an electric torque vectoring system for the rear axle. The Urus SE is capable of accelerating from 0–100 km/h (0–60 mph) in a blistering 3.4 seconds and boasts a top speed exceeding 312 km/h (194 mph). Despite the added hybrid components, its unladen weight is approximately 2,550 kg (5,622 lbs), a testament to Lamborghini’s engineering prowess in weight management.
As a Super SUV, the Urus SE distinguishes itself with an unparalleled blend of Lamborghini’s signature performance and the enhanced versatility and efficiency brought by its PHEV architecture. The inclusion of a 25.9 kWh lithium-ion battery not only provides a useful electric-only driving range but also allows for instant torque delivery, significantly sharpening throttle response. The Urus SE features an revamped air suspension system and introduces a new electric torque vectoring system for the rear differential, providing superior agility and traction compared to its predecessor. Its revised exterior design, with new matrix LED headlights and a redesigned rear diffuser, not only enhances its aggressive aesthetic but also improves aerodynamic efficiency, contributing to increased downforce. This fusion of raw power, refined dynamics, and hybrid capability sets a new benchmark in its competitive landscape.
The interior of the Urus SE maintains the high level of luxury and driver-focused ergonomics expected from a Lamborghini, now augmented with specific hybrid interface elements. The cabin is adorned with exquisite materials, including fine leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber accents, available in a vast array of customization options through Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program. A larger 12.3-inch central touchscreen infotainment system, alongside a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, provides comprehensive control and information, including hybrid-specific displays. The seating configuration offers ample space for four or five occupants, with supportive and comfortable seats suitable for both spirited driving and long-distance journeys. Advanced driver-assistance systems and connectivity features are seamlessly integrated, ensuring a technologically advanced and supremely comfortable driving environment.
The Lamborghini Urus SE holds significant relevance as the first PHEV variant of the Urus, marking a crucial step in Lamborghini’s “Direzione Cor Tauri” electrification strategy. It represents a commitment to reducing emissions and enhancing efficiency without compromising the visceral performance and emotional appeal that define the brand. This updated model signifies the maturation of the Urus line, building upon the groundbreaking success of the original by integrating cutting-edge hybrid technology. The Urus has already proven to be a market leader, expanding Lamborghini’s reach and establishing a new segment. The Urus SE, with its enhanced power, dynamic capabilities, and sustainable credentials, is poised to further solidify its position as the ultimate luxury performance SUV, appealing to a broad spectrum of high-net-worth clients and enthusiasts who demand both exhilaration and responsibility.
