Introduced in 2017 for the 2018 model year, the Urus accounts for more than half of Lamborghini’s sales. Last year, for example, 4,391 units were sold as opposed to 2,193 Huracans and exactly 846 Aventadors.
Underpinned by the MLB Evo platform and twinned with the Bentley Bentayga, the Urus is rapidly approaching the halfway point of its life cycle. Expected to roll out by the end of the year, the facelift has been recently photographed testing near the Arctic Circle with a brand-new front fascia.
The redesigned air intakes are matched with a lightbar on the hood, swirly camouflage on every panel, oversized brake calipers painted in red, and quad tips for the exhaust system. The headlamps and taillamps are similar to those of the outgoing super SUV, and the same can be said about the rear bumper.
Future sightings of the Urus Evo are certain to reveal more redesigned parts for the exterior, but the big question concerns the cockpit. What is Lamborghini going to change about the twin-turbo V8 utility vehicle's interior, you may be wondering? The media system and climate controls are my guesses, along with the steering wheel and so-called ANIMA Selector.
Like the Aventador S and Huracan Evo supercars, the next incarnation of the Urus is expected with a few improvements of the Porsche-developed engine. The 4.0-liter lump is rated at 650 PS (641 horsepower) and 850 Nm (627 pound-feet) of torque, and for the time being, these represent the highest output ratings for the twin-turbo V8 across the VW Group.
When the Urus was relatively new, chief technical officer Maurizio Reggiani promised a plug-in hybrid option by the end of 2020. Lamborghini couldn’t deliver it over the health crisis, and frankly, waiting for the 2022 mid-cycle refresh is the best scenario possible for Automobili Lamborghini.
If there will be a fuel-sipping Urus with a fully-electric drive mode, you can be certain about one thing. My two cents are going on the plug-in setup of the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid with a little more oomph than the luxury sedan’s 700 PS (690 horsepower) and 870 Nm (642 pound-feet) of torque.
