2019 Lamborghini Urus Interior Revealed, Blends Luxury With Sport
It's been five years since Lamborghini first revealed the Urus concept, and 24 years since it stopped producing the LM002. That's a long time to wait for the Bolognese automaker to introduce its new super sport utility vehicle, but the wait is almost over.
The House of the Raging Bull has announced that the Urus will debut in production form – at long last – on December 4 at its expanding headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese. That's less than three months from now. "From Ferruccio's dream of building the perfect car to the first V12 engine, then paving the way to the future by designing models that are ahead of their times," reads the statement from the manufacturer. "The Lamborghini Urus redefines possibilities, creating a class of its own: unprecedented SUV performance, luxury and versatility, with the distinctive dynamic design DNA of a Lamborghini super sports car. Driving through a new era." Why December 4, specifically? We don't know; it's not the date on which the company was founded or the day on which the founder was born. But it does confirm earlier reports indicating the same.
Lamborghini is counting down the days to the unveiling of the Urus and we're getting a better glimpse of the interior thanks to several photos that were posted to Instagram. As you can see, the Urus will have a bespoke cabin that shares little with platform mates such as the Bentley Bentayga and Porsche Cayenne. Instead, drivers will be treated to a sporty cabin that features a flat-bottomed steering wheel, carbon fiber trim, and metallic accents. Perhaps the most noticeable feature is the three different displays for the instrument cluster, infotainment system, and climate control system. The latter display resides above a large Anima (Soul) selector that provides easy access to the Urus' six different driving modes. Other notable features include two-tone leather seats, contrast stitching, and a prominent Lamborghini badge on the passenger side of the dashboard. We can also see hexagonal air vents and unique switchgear. The Urus will be unveiled on December 4th and it is expected to be powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces approximately 650 hp (484 kW) and 627 lb-ft (849 Nm) of torque. This will reportedly enable the crossover to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed in excess of 188 mph (302 km/h).
