Details of theLamborghiniUrus SUV concept at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show. Lamborghini aim to redefine the segment with the Urus and are calling it ‘the ultimate super athlete’ in the SUV segment. The name ‘Urus’ is taken from the urus bull, which is similar to the Spanish fighting bull.

Sharp styling for Lamborghini Urus SUV

The Lamborghini Urus SUV will have a length of almost 5 meters and a height of just 1.66 meters. Lamborghini did make a very conscious effort though to ensure the vehicle was as light as possible, this has resulted in very low CO2 emissions which they mention will be unrivaled in the segment. This ultra light weight was achieved by using an intelligent mix for the structure and bodyshell of the vehicle as well as parts of the interior. The light weight of the Urus also results in improved fuel economy as well as improved handling and driving dynamics.

As you can expect from Lamborghini, the design of the Urus comes with sharp lines and an aggressive stance. The headlights are in a horizontal hexagon form and feature full LED technology, with LED fog lamps positioned below the air intakes. The Urus rides on 24 inch wheels with a double-spoke design and in stead of side mirrors, it has aerodynamic cameras.

The interior of the Lamborghini Urus SUV maintains the same lightweight design and has space for a driver and 3 passengers. Behind the steering wheel there are shift paddles to control the dual clutch transmission with all other functions incorporated into the multi function steering wheel or centre console. There is a touchscreen for navigation and the like, as well as an additional touchscreen for the rear passengers.
