You probably already have an opinion on the 2020 Lamborghini Urus, it's not a machine that invites ambivalence or fence-sitting.' - whichcar.com

Engine and Transmission

The Lamborghini Urus is a compelling blend of Italian flavor and German Engineering. It does not use Lamborghini's hallmark of naturally aspirated V10 or V12 engines and is instead powered by a 4.0 Twin Turbo V8 engine which is actually a modified version of the Audi's 4.0 L V8.

This combination produces a jaw-dropping 641 horsepower and 627 lb-ft. of torque which along with the 8 speed ZF automatic transmission and the AWD with active torque vectoring system enables the driver to perform exceptionally on every occasion and in every situation

Achieving the best power to weight ratio, All this torque is mainly directed to the rear axle so the dynamic behavior of the car remains sport-oriented.

Speaking of rivals, the Lamborghini Urus is offering the most power and torque figure but is the most expensive of the lot as well. The Maserati comes in second while the Mercedes comes in 3^rd. The Bentley Bentayga V8 is the least powerful in the segment but is priced lower than its competition as well.

Acceleration

Sprinting is one of the biggest fortes of the Urus. Given its lightweight, this raging bull accelerates faster than any other car in this segment, or for that matter, faster than most of the cars in any segment. With a top speed of 190 mph, the urus stands out as the fastest SUV in the market.

Speaking solely about rivals, the Lamborghini Urus has edged past all of them by big margins excluding the Maserati Levante Trofeo that manages to be just at par with the Lamborghini Urus.

Braking and Handling

The 2020 Lamborghini offers breathtaking performance without compromising on its braking abilities. The Urus gets big brakes with standard carbon-ceramic brake discs which offer high thermal resistance to ensure crisp stops even during frequent and heavy braking.

To offer an even stronger grip, Lamborghini offers several different tire options, including all-season rubber.

Making an SUV fast would rather be a relatively simple affair(Just add a bit more power), but making it handle right at high speeds becomes a tad bit trickier when it's supposed to be capable on the streets and a mean machine on a track. 

jaw-dropping

To master that, the Urus comes equipped with dynamic drivetrain modes, active suspension and adaptive chassis components that help it adjust to whatever circumstance any situation puts forward.

The extremely intelligent Lamborghini ANIMA mode lets you choose the driving dynamics you want for your car which is perfectly suited to multiple driving environments. The modes are named in Italian and become self-explanatory as you read them. Like, strata is for the street which is all about comfort driving and Corsa is for race which if used will immediately lower the body stance, firm the dampers and fetch a greater degree of oversteer from the active torque vectoring system. Put all of this together and you get ultimate comfort and handling at your bare hands.

Brake Front (in.)	17.32	15.8	15.7	15

Curb Weight (lbs.)	4850	5280	5842	4784
60-0 MPH (ft.)	111	N/A	113	105

Speaking of rivals, the Lamborghini Urus comes the closest to the Maserati in terms of braking performance but is still outperformed by it even with its extremely low curb weight. The Mercedes manages to stay close to the Lambo in terms of the braking performance but is just edged past by it.

The only aspect where Urus doesn't stand out in its segment is the fuel efficiency it offers for its price and performance. Even after having a cylinder deactivating system, the Urus still has the poorest performance when compared to its rivals. The Urus, aside from having poor fuel economy, also has the smallest fuel tank capacity, which further affects its overall range. 

Model	Lamborghini Urus	Bentley Bentayga V8	Mercedes-AMG G63	Maserati Levante Trofeo
MPG (city)	12	14	13	14
MPG (highway)	17	23	15	18
MPG (combined)	14	17	14	15
Fuel Tank Capacity(Gal.)	19.8	22.5	26.4	21.1
Range(City/Hwy.)	238/337 miles	315/518 miles	343/396 miles	295/380 miles

The Urus is the worst performing SUV here in both range and overall MPG figures. In terms of overall figures, it's the V8 Bentley Bentayga that takes the top stand but loses out on overall range to the Legendary German Machine- The G63 AMG.

Without a doubt, Lambo has a unique, recognizable aesthetic, and that extends into the interior space as well - topspeed.com

Layout and Comfort

Without a doubt, Lamborghini stands out with its distinctive and recognizable aesthetic design. This extends all over to the interior as well. The urus offers a driver focused layout with a lowered seating position plus control buttons that will surely make you feel like a pilot.

Again, one would find several 'cY' and hexagon geometric design elements on the interior of the car. Y shapes are innumerable and are found all over the interior of the car whereas the hexagon shapes are even found on door handles, air bags, air vents and the cupholders.

Luxurious italian craftsmanship meets state of the art technology. With a practical 5 seater experience, users will experience nothing but luxury inside the Lamborghini Urus. Use of high end materials such as carbon fibre, alcantara, aluminium and wood don't just make the interior of the car light and durable but rich and opulent. Sporty seats with premium leather upholstery are electronically 12 way adjustable providing the passenger with maximum comfort.

Model	Lamborghini Urus	Bentley Bentayga V8	Mercedes-AMG G63	Maserati Levante Trofeo
Cargo Volume with rear seats up (ft.3)	21.75	17.1	34.3	20.5

In terms of rivals, the Gigantic Mercedes AMG 63 blows away the competition with its massive 34 cu.ft. of space while the Lamborghini Urus manages to outshine the Maserati by the smallest of margins.

The Urus creates a blend of styling that combines the jacked-up off-roader aesthetic of the Lamborghini LM002 with the scalpel-sharp lines of the Aventador or Huracan' - topspeed.com

Design and Dimensions

After decades of making super streamlined cars that have razor-edged dynamics, Lamborghini has not disappointed us and done their best to maintain the "Lambo" DNA even after manufacturing an SUV. The sporty design and the muscular surfaces all help a lot to make the Urus still appear like a 'Lamborghini'.

The angular design language of the Urus with a dynamic slanting coupe line and an aggressive front grille clearly draws inspiration from the Huracan and the Aventador and will make sure that the supersport utility vehicle stands apart from the crowd. Having said that, a lot of people might not agree with the idea of a huge camera system in the front grille. 

Another thing worth mentioning is the use of 'Y' and hexagon elements all around the car, including the front and rear lamps, the seats, dashboard and even the foot pedals of the car. All of this chug out a clear statement that Lamborghini has been extremely outstanding with the attention to detail that it has given to the car.

Lamborghini Urus vs. Maserati Levante Trofeo

The Lamborghini urus is the pinnacle of performance SUVs in the World and Lamborghini has shown that they can not only dish out outstanding sports cars but outstanding SUVs as well. The Urus however isn't available to all due to its sky high price tag. The Trofeo on the other hand offers similar levels of performance, at a much lower asking price.

Lamborghini Urus vs Bentley Bentayga

The Bentley Bentayga has been the epitome of British engineering in an SUV. The Bentayga screams Luxury the moment you step inside the Cabin. Couple to that VW's superb design and build quality and what you have on your hands is a remarkable SUV that will leave you smiling always. The Lamborghini Urus on the other hand screams performance from the moment you drive it. If performance is what you are looking after, the Lamborghini Urus will suit your bill best but for everything else, it's the Bentayga that should be worth your Cash.

Lamborghini Urus vs Mercedes-Benz AMG G 63

The Mercedes AMG G63 has been around for a while and has been one of the most respected SUVs in the world. You get a strong road presence, heart thumping performance and tons of space in the G63. Couple that with a relatively low price tag and what you have is a German mauler that can rip its rivals apart. The Lamborghini Urus, on the other hand, offers Ferrari like performance in the shape of an SUV. It outshines the G63 in any aspect but really falls down when it comes to the hefty price point.

Lamborghini has answered a question nobody has and delivered a product nobody was expecting. The Urus is the first Lamborghini with a turbocharged engine, the first performance SUV that actually drives like a super sports car. Lamborghini's 4 wheel steering which was first seen on the Aventador S, is now available in the Urus paired with an excellent AWD system with active rear torque vectoring, an adaptive air suspension and an anti-roll stabilization system. The result is a nimble and highly capable off-roader with a luxurious cabin that you simply wouldn't want to leave But this high powered super SUV wouldn't really be accessible by everyone. All thanks to the high price tag Lamborghini keeps for its cars.
