Our car was fitted with an upgraded Bang & Olufsen sound system which was excellent, if expensive at around £5,000, but there are two other set-ups available. The driver’s information display is also borrowed from Audi and features a range of bespoke graphics that are dependent on the driver mode. We found there to be a limited number of personalisation options, though, and once again the actual hardware is starting to feel its age.
The Urus is still more practical than the brand’s other models, but going to plug-in hybrid power compromises boot space
There’s only a five-door body style on offer, and the Lamborghini Urus comes with a traditional three-seater rear bench as standard. We’d advise going for a model with a panoramic roof to help bring some much-needed light into the rear cabin.
You sit lower in the Urus than in most SUVs, and while this fits the Lamborghini’s sporting feel it does mean visibility is not as good. It can be hard to place the car in town or tight parking spaces, although it’s less of an issue on the open road.
The seats are relatively comfortable, but no more, and while the added options of massage and cooling are a nice bonus, they lack the ultimate support you’d hope for from such a high-performance SUV.

Size
There’s no doubting the Lamborghini Urus has road presence. Even if it didn’t look quite so dramatic its 5,112mm length and 2,016mm width will turn heads. That said, it doesn’t take up quite as much space as the 5,1450mm x 2,224mm Bentley Bentayga. The Urus is also considerably lower than the Bentayga with a 1,638mm roof height compared to the 1,742mm Bentley.
Leg room, head room & passenger space
There’s plenty of room in the Lamborghini’s front seats, but the sloping, low-roofed body extracts a price in the back where both headroom and legroom for six-footers is in short supply. Additionally, the narrow window glass and relatively low seating position can make the rear seats feel a little claustrophobic – that’s quite at odds with the light and airy feel of many luxury SUV rivals.
Boot
The conversion to plug-in hybrid power has seen the boot shrink down to 454 litres from the 616 litres of its non-hybrid forbear. There’s no underfloor storage, and therefore nowhere clever to store the charging cable if you plan to take it with you. It is possible to fold the rear seats down if you need more space, though.
The Urus has plenty of standard safety assistance features, and it should be a safe car if the worst occurs
Lamborghini’s low volumes mean the Urus doesn’t undergo Euro NCAP safety tests, but the fact it shares most of its fundamental chassis and powertrain designs with five-star models like the Porsche Cayenne and Audi RS Q8 means it should still be a safe place to be if the worst happens.
