Lamborghini Urus SE

Model Overview

The Lamborghini Urus SE is the first plug-in hybrid Super SUV (SSUV) from the Italian supercar maker, serving as the cornerstone for the Urus lineup's transition into the electrified era. The name Urus is derived from the Aurochs, a wild ancestor of modern domestic cattle, staying true to Lamborghini's heritage of naming models after fighting bulls. The Urus concept was first unveiled at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show, followed by the global debut of the production version in December 2017. In 2024, the Urus SE celebrated its global premiere at the Beijing Auto Show, marking a pivotal milestone in Lamborghini's "Direzione Cor Tauri" electrification roadmap. As of June 2026, the official recommended retail price for the 2026 Urus SE in the Chinese market stands at RM2,971,000. The new model is brought in as a fully imported (CBU) unit, positioned as a mid-to-large plug-in hybrid SUV.

Design Language

In terms of exterior styling, the 2026 Urus SE carries forward the aggressive, low-slung supercar SUV stance quintessential to the Urus family. Up front, it features an oversized honeycomb grille flanked by prominent, fang-style air intakes that deliver immense presence and athletic aggression. Along the sides, sharp character lines sculpt a wide, hunkered-down silhouette, while the rear retains Lamborghini's signature Y-shaped LED taillight signature. Dimension-wise, it measures 5,123 mm long, 2,022 mm wide, and 1,638 mm tall, with a wheelbase spanning 3,003 mm.

The most distinctive update on the 2026 model is the introduction of Lamborghini's newly redesigned crest, representing the brand's first major corporate identity revision since 1972. The updated emblem adopts a cleaner, flat design aesthetic with the previous gold tone reworked into refined bronze, alongside wider brand typography. It is prominently featured on the front bonnet, wheel centre caps, steering wheel, and across the on-board HMI displays.

On the exterior palette, the 2026 lineup gains two exclusive shades—Grigio Titans (grey) from the Ad Personam matte custom range and Viola Galaxias Matt (purple) from the contemporary colour collection. Through the Ad Personam bespoke programme, buyers can specify over 100 bespoke exterior paint finishes for the Urus SE. The SUV also offers two carbon fibre styling packages—partial and extended coverage—both available in either gloss or matte clear coats, while the exhaust tailpipes now come with a gloss black finish option.

Inside, the 2026 Urus SE debuts Corsa Tex, an eco-friendly high-performance technical fabric. Sourced from recycled polyester through a water-based manufacturing process, it can be configured in Monocolore, Bicolore, or Sportivo cabin themes. The dashboard trim panels now offer a choice between premium leather and Corsa Tex upholstery, which can be complemented by a carbon fibre air vent package. The centre console is anchored by a 12.3-inch touchscreen powered by the LIS III infotainment system. Furthermore, the cabin adds a dedicated physical EGO shortcut button, allowing drivers to access their personalised drive mode settings instantly without scrolling through sub-menus.

Powertrain and Performance

The 2026 Urus SE is propelled by a plug-in hybrid powertrain pairing a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor. The V8 unit produces a maximum output of 620 PS (456 kW) and 800 Nm of torque, while the electric motor contributes 192 PS (141 kW) and 483 Nm. Together, the system unleashes a combined maximum output of 800 PS (588 kW) and a combined peak torque of 950 Nm. Power is channelled through an 8-speed automatic gearbox to an active permanent all-wheel-drive (AWD) system.

In straight-line performance, it completes the century sprint (0-100 km/h) in just 3.4 seconds, with top speed rated at 312 km/h. Energy is supplied by a 25.9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, delivering a WLTC-rated pure electric range of 42 km. Combined fuel consumption stands at approximately 5.7 L/100 km on the WLTC cycle, alongside combined CO₂ emissions of 140 g/km. As a plug-in hybrid vehicle, the Urus SE remains eligible for local new energy incentives in selected cities, though it no longer qualifies for national-level purchase tax exemptions. It is tuned to run on RON 98 petrol.

Chassis and Handling

Underneath, the Urus SE rides on a front and rear multi-link independent suspension setup. Extensive use of aluminium throughout the chassis significantly reduces unsprung mass, sharpening dynamics while enhancing ride compliance. Adaptive dampers continuously adjust stiffness based on real-time road conditions—firming up in corners to mitigate body roll and softening on straights for superior cruising comfort. An active anti-roll bar system maintains maximum vehicle stability during high-speed manoeuvres and aggressive cornering. Power delivery is managed by a permanent all-wheel-drive system featuring a Torsen central differential and an electronic limited-slip differential (e-LSD). It rides on staggered tyres measuring 285/45 R21 up front and 315/40 R21 at the rear, with a kerb weight of 2,505 kg. The SUV also boasts a maximum braked towing capacity of up to 7,000 lbs (approx. 3,175 kg).

Cabin and Features

The Urus SE features a practical 5-door, 5-seater cabin layout. Tech highlights include a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster and a matching 12.3-inch central touchscreen running the Lamborghini Infotainment System III (LIS III), complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. In-car entertainment is handled by a Bang & Olufsen premium surround sound system. Cabin amenities include multi-colour ambient lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, keyless entry with push-start ignition, and a wireless smartphone charging pad. The 2026 iteration also introduces a dedicated physical EGO hotkey, enabling instant access to drive mode customisation menus. The seats are wrapped in premium leather upholstery.

Safety and Driver Assistance

On the safety front, the Urus SE comes comprehensively fitted with front airbags, front side airbags, and full-length curtain airbags. Its suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) includes adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane keeping assist (LKA), autonomous emergency braking (AEB), and blind spot monitoring (BSM). These are complemented by front and rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system. A tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is standard. The vehicle deliberately omits semi-autonomous driving suites, staying true to an unfiltered, driver-centric performance ethos.

Market Performance and Reception

Since making its global debut in 2024, the Urus SE has firmly established itself as Lamborghini's main volume driver. In 2025, Lamborghini delivered 10,747 vehicles worldwide, surpassing the 10,000-unit milestone for the third consecutive year, driven primarily by strong demand for the electrified Urus and Revuelto lineups. In the Chinese market, the 2026 Urus SE went on sale on 6 May 2026 with an official retail price of RM2,971,000. Adding to its exclusivity, Lamborghini rolled out the Urus SE Tettonero Special Edition in May 2026, capped at just 630 units worldwide.

In the ultra-luxury performance SUV segment, the Urus SE goes head-to-head with heavyweights such as the Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid (approx. RM2,460,000) and the Aston Martin DBX707 (approx. RM3,300,000). The Urus SE maintains a distinct competitive edge in both outright output (800 PS / 950 Nm) and wheelbase length (3,003 mm). Automotive media have praised its 3.4-second century sprint, noting that such blistering acceleration "was until recently reserved exclusively for thoroughbred mid-engine supercars," yet is now seamlessly delivered in a 2,505 kg luxury SUV. Rather than a clean-sheet redesign, the 2026 Urus SE builds on its formidable 800 PS PHEV foundation, elevating personalization and brand presence through the new corporate crest, exclusive paint options, bespoke carbon packages, and refreshed interior appointments. As a core pillar of Lamborghini's "Direzione Cor Tauri" roadmap, the Urus SE effortlessly blends supercar pedigree with everyday plug-in hybrid usability, carving out an unmatched niche in the global high-performance luxury SUV arena.
