The Italian luxury supercar marquee, Automobili Lamborghini has finally launched its first ever super sports SUV – ‘Urus’ – in the Indian market. Priced at Rs 3 crore (ex-showroom), the Lamborghini Urus shares its platform (MLB) with Audi Q7, Porshce Cayenne and Bentley Betayga. Lamborghini claims that the Urus is a “visionary approach based on the infusion of Lamborghini DNA into the most versatile vehicle”. Interestingly, the name ‘Urus’ is inspired from the aurochs, which is an extinct species of large wild cattle found in North Africa, Asia and Europe. The new Lambo super sport SUV stole our heart in its concept avatar during its global unveiling at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show. Photo Gallery – Lamborghini Huracan RWD Spyder

Lamborghini Urus India Exterior
Lamborghini’s all-new Urus SUV is built on Volkswagen Group’s SUV-spec MLB platform, and retains coupe-like silhouette and most of the fins and angles from the concept version. The MLB architecture has already been used in the Bentley Bentayga and the Audi Q7. With low coupe-like roofline and shoulders, as we have seen on the concept, the Urus isn’t as practical as other SUVs. Though, it’s certainly unique and a more premium machine. The new Lambo SUV rides on the standard 21-inch wheels that can be upgraded to 23-inch special tyres (largest in the segment).
The production-ready Urus stays close to its concept, but gets better styling and improvements. Face of the SUV has aggressive appeal – thanks to its laser sharp LED headlamps and fancy mesh grille. The car also gets a coupe roofline with a raked windscreen. The LED taillights feature the Lamborghini badge in the centre.
