We're half a decade and 20,000 sales into the Lambo SUV era - time for the all-important refresh with the new Urus S...
Accordingly, there’s now a two-model Urus range for the very first time: the for those that must have a record-breakingly fast truck with Pirelli Trofeo Rs on the options list, while the Urus S picks up where the old car left off, described by Lamborghini as offering ‘increased power combined with luxurious versatility and presence to confirm its status as the ultimate lifestyle Lamborghini Super SUV’.
The driving position is brilliant, the interior laid out smartly, and the build quality apparently unimpeachable. We probably shouldn’t expect anything less from a modern Lamborghini, though it’s surprising just how quickly the Urus S does a passable impression of sensible family SUV. Just don’t go any bigger than the 22-inch wheels fitted here as that will likely give the air suspension too much to do in eliminating low-speed jiggle in a car this heavy.
Lambo boasts of a ‘sharper note in each drive mode’ for the retuned exhaust, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the Urus S sounds borderline illegal in its most aggressive Corsa setting. The twin-turbo V8 booms and thunders its 666hp out, sounding like the sky is falling in behind its four tailpipes. Perhaps it isn’t the most tuneful noise ever made, but the seismic impact is beyond doubt.
That mantra sort of extends to the driving experience, too. It’s possible to detect traits here familiar from those related SUVs, albeit cranked up to the max. The active anti-roll that keeps the Audi so spookily flat is even more effective, the Urus only ever really pitching at all if standing on the mighty ceramic brakes, and the rear-steer that transformed the agility of the Bentayga gives the impression of a V8 Lamborghini hot hatch, so incisive are its direction changes.
