Yes, this Urus is a plug-in hybrid…but that’s mainly about adding power.
While plenty of folks are still skeptical about jumping toward fully electric cars, some are warming up to the idea of a plug-in hybrid. Not only do you get the added benefit of some electric driving capability with the peace of mind of a traditional gas engine, but you also get a fair amount of extra power, as demonstrated by the 302-horsepower Toyota RAV4 Prime. Granted, that’s a weird comparison to make to this Lamborghini Urus, but the principle is the same: This Urus SE is a plug-in hybrid SUV…and it just happens to have 789 horsepower on tap.
For reference, the “two hearts” comprising this new model are an electric motor integrated into the transmission, as well as the fully expected 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8. On its own, the V8 makes 612 horsepower in this configuration. However, the 189-horsepower electric motor sandwiched against the 8-speed automatic transmission brings the total output up to 789 horsepower and 701 lb-ft of torque. That’s good enough to catapult the 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE from 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, which lands right between the standard Urus S and the Performante.
Lamborghini pegged the Urus SE’s top speed at 194 mph — this is an all-wheel drive, family-hauling SUV, remember — while you can drive it in all-electric mode up to 81 mph. A 25.9-kWh (gross capacity) battery sits below the cargo floor and above the Urus’ electronically controlled rear differential. The automaker says the SE can travel “more than 60 km”, or about 37 miles, on pure electric power.
The 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE may not have quite as much power as the V12-backed Revuelto PHEV, but some of the tweaks to the car’s styling like the hood do take after the automaker’s latest flagship hypercar. This plug-in hybrid Urus also gets revised aerodynamics to both improve downforce by 35% and improve brake cooling.
Inside, the new Urus SE gets a revamped interior with a center-mounted 12.3-inch infotainment screen. While most cars now make the infotainment system a front-and-center feature above everything else inside the car, it’s interesting that the screen actually sits below the HVAC vents here.
Pricing for the 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE is not available just yet, as is usually the case with debuts. However, it should start around the same point as the Performante, so expect MSRPs to land somewhere around $275,000 and run up to $300,000 or more with some options. That may sound heartbreakingly expensive, but if it does land in that range, it’d still be $100,000 cheaper than a Ferrari Purosangue.
