The 190MPH Lamborghini Urus is the Craziest SUV, but isn't Full Lambo Crazy (In-Depth Review)

powerful and they work, let's do launch control now, so go into race mode, press the traction control button once, which means I turn off the esc, hold the brake mat, release the throttle at 2500 rpm, oh oh, it's that kick for a second, a third, it's like wow. that's fun, that's a lot of fun, like the midrange power, that's very, very fun, okay, anyway, now I'm in course mode, I'm going to put the traction back on because I don't trust myself, uh, and you can hear it. louder, louder, it's more exciting and it sounds even though it's forced induction and an 8 cylinder, not a 10 or 12 like other Lamborghinis, it sounds very Lamborghini, it's distinctive that way, they tuned it very well, the note Exhaust very good, uh, yeah, anyway.

The transmission is excellent, the changes are fast, the problem I have is that it is not the same as the Hurricane Uracán, however you say it, a compromise factor because you do not have the paddles in the column, they are not big and the travel of the paddles is quite a bit. small, we can do a turning radius test here, see how it is, how it is, it's tight, it's tight because of the four-wheel steering system. Turn those rear wheels in the opposite direction and you'll get a tighter turning radius and then stability at speed. um yeah, but the transmission is good, um, it's just not as engaging as a hurricane with those big dungeon paddles, it's an off-roader, okay though, and then the steering is very dialed in, my kind of barometer here is like a porsche cayenne turbo, all on top where they are tuning the electronic steering rack on that vehicle and this one is pretty good, you get a real idea of ​​what the tires are doing and it's not artificially overweight so there's a lot of noise from the wind outside, I just want to let you know so you're not judging the insulation of this cabin because the cabinet insulation here is sensational, especially considering what I'm seeing happening with trees like mighty,

-grown trees that sway in the wind in this moment.

It's pretty impressive how good the insulation is in this cabin. Well anyway, the driving dynamics are phenomenal and we can thank things like the four-wheel steering system, we have electronically controlled active stabilizer bars, torque vectoring rear differential, limited slip center differential and then we have adaptive dampers and an air suspension system as standard. All of that means this corners like an SUV shouldn't and I realize that's been said about other vehicles and yes I've even said I think about the x5m competition but this is like another level it's one. a step up because it feels like a sports car, not like a supercar maybe in a corner, but like a sports car in a corner, and that's impressive for being so high off the ground and weighing so much, but beyond

crazy

from the performance, what is the

urus

like as a luxury vehicle, well to find out, I'll take it and put it in strata mode here in the anima or I could go into ego, where I calibrated the powertrain and the feel of the steering and the chassis to make them more comfortable, but I'm just going to strata and let's see if it's more moderate, since I just accelerated hard from that corner, but it is more moderate, certainly in terms of the exhaust note that has been muted considerably, the Ride quality is, I mean, it was already excellent. in corsa and sport, but here it is even more solid.

I'm on a very flat and smooth road, but I've driven it before now on bad roads and it was actually very, very pleasant, the quietness of the cabin is still present despite all the wind. passing outside this is a solid luxury vehicle the seats are also very comfortable that was something i was thinking about uh they look very flat and hard but they are actually very comfortable i wish they had massage and cooling as standard on the

urus

but you have to pay more for them, but they are options to get extra money, a lot of extra money.

I'm missing a couple of things here that you get for 21: it'll be your standard adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist and all your active safety features, but again, the 21 gets them for an extra 10 grand since its starting price increases for 21. So I would do without them and get them for 2020 or again on the options list, you can still add them as options, but yes, as a luxury vehicle. This is surprisingly good, maybe almost too good or too refined for a Lamborghini, when it doesn't drive you

crazy

, I'll get to that in a second, okay, but let's think about the competition here, so for 211,000 that's your starting price for the urus and one thing i forgot to mention is that the fuel economy is just rubbish, really not good 12 city 17 highway 14 combined twin turbo v8 14 combined not the best nowadays.

I'll give you points for that. Or I'll tell you why that's so bad with the competition, so the Aston Martin DBX starts at 193,000, so below this it makes 542 horsepower, so not as much as this, about 99 horsepower less than this, in fact, and this is from zero to six times. is going to suffer, it will be 3.8 seconds, top speed will be 181 miles per hour, all less impressive stats than the urus, but its fuel economy is 16 mpg combined and that's important because even if you can afford everything the fuel you have to spend. Those trips to the gas station aren't going to be as fun.

You've heard that the start-stop system is activated with Strata mode. I can turn it off with the push of a button here on the center screen and then there's the Bentley. The bentayga speed will cost 245,000 so the starting price is higher than this but it makes a little less power with its w12. 626 horsepower from zero to 60 will be 3.9 seconds to slow down. This top speed will be pegged at 190 miles per hour and the fuel economy is going to tie this, a w12 has the same fuel economy as a twin turbo v8 so 14 mpg combined for that, then we'll get to the germans and I'm not going to make the

full

extension of the mercedes comp x5m. the same gle 63 and the rsq8.

I'm only going to talk about the rxq8 because it's a stablemate to the urus and you have to decide if you know it for almost a hundred thousand dollars or less so it's a hundred and fifteen thousand dollars for the rsq rate if it's worth sacrificing the power so the car only makes 100 or 591 100 not 591 horsepower and gets to 60 in 3.8 to 3.9 seconds so it's slower than this its top speed is pegged at 190 miles per hour and the fuel economy is better than this it will be 17 mpg combined compared to 14 despite it being the same engine the tune makes it have such terrible fuel economy so that's your layout right there it really is like the Aston Martin low 100 or basically low 200.

These are the exception, do you think the Lamborghini is worth answering? I've been thinking first, does this feel like a Lamborghini? It's definitely the Lamborghini of SUVs. Nothing is handled like that. Nothing excites you as much as this. Nothing seems. So on the road, how the SUV goes, how SUVs go, so I think it is the Lamborghini of SUVs, it is still a Lamborghini, yes, but I say it with a little less confidence because I feel that the essence of Lamborghini is here when you are in it. When you're really in it, this car comes to life and feels like a Lamborghini.

When you're not, which is probably 99% of how you're going to drive this vehicle, it doesn't necessarily feel like a Lamborghini. get the look, definitely get the look that people want to know, uh, who drives the orders because it's expensive and it's pretty radical looking, but I mean, the refinement is almost too much, so there's an element of crazy in every

lambo

rghini at any speed and I don't know if that's here to the fullest extent, I'm hoping that the performance or sv version of the urus that is definitely coming adds that little bit extra to really make it feel like a

lambo

rghini because now same I'm getting the essence of the lamborghini, not the full effect unless I'm in it again unless I'm in it if I'm in it this is very much a lamborghini uh in SUV form so that's my conclusion, would you accept it? for my two hundred thousand dollars in black with black wheels maybe because it's stealthy and it's awesome uh in black and nothing drives like that like an SUV and that's where I'm going to leave you, I did launch control, I hit the throttle and talked about all the interior and exterior goodness so check them out if you didn't see them if you moved on to the driving impressions and thank you all so much for watching.

I'll talk to you at rsq8, maybe next time we'll meet.
