Lamborghini unveils Urus SE, plug-in hybrid SUV with 60km electric range

Unveiling Power: The Lamborghini Urus SE plug-in hybrid, the most powerful version of the SUV yet, has been unveiled. It’s set to be showcased at Auto China Beijing 2024. The Urus SE features design updates compared to the Urus S and Performante.
Power Boost: Under the skin, the twin-turbo V8 is joined by an electric motor and on-board battery pack. This combination increases power and torque output, making it a talking point.
Front Facelift: Starting from the front, the Urus SE gets slimmer headlamps with new C-shaped daytime running lamps. The bumper and air vents have been tweaked. The bonnet is new and now stretches down to the grille.
Side and Rear: The bonnet vents of the Urus S have been removed. Down the side, little seems to have changed aside from the alloy wheels. The rear gets a more notable overhaul with the bumper and tailgate both being new units.
Interior Changes: Inside the cabin, there have been some changes to the SUV’s design. The centre console now features a strip of leather or Alcantara running the width of the dashboard under the central touchscreen. This has resulted in revised positioning for some of the switchgear.
Powertrain Talk: The 4.0-litre twin turbo V8 under the hood now generates 612 bhp and 800 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an electric motor integrated into the 8-speed automatic gearbox that offers an additional 189 bhp and 483 Nm. Total system output stands at 789 bhp and 950 Nm.
Electric Capabilities: The electric powertrain of the plug-in hybrid system is paired with a 25.9 kWh battery pack located under the boot floor. Lamborghini claims an all-electric range of 60 km for the SUV.
Speed and Control: Lamborghini claims a 0-100 kmph time of 3.4 seconds. The Urus SE also brings with it a new centrally located longitudinal torque vectoring system that continuously distributes power between the front and rear axles. There is also a new rear electronic limited-slip differential.
Drive Modes: The Urus SE gains new drive modes – EV Drive, Hybrid, Performance and Recharge. These are offered in addition to the previously available six modes. The new PHEV drive modes work in conjunction with the previously offered six drive modes.
Market Competition: The new Urus SE will go up against other flagship plug-in hybrid SUVs sold in global markets such as the Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne Turbo S e-hybrid and the Range Rover hybrid.
