Lamborghini Confirms Electric Urus Will Debut Soon

May 14, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Lamborghini Urus is presently one of the most powerful and costly SUVs on the market. This appears to be insufficient for some clients, since the Italian business is working on a more extreme version, which will be released later this year. We’re afraid we’ll have to disappoint you if you were expecting for a completely electric version. It will most likely happen, but not with this generation of Urus.

Drive recently got the opportunity to get down with Lamborghini design chief Mitja Borkert and discuss a variety of issues. A inquiry concerning a possible zero-emissions edition of the super-SUV was one of them, and Borkert originally affirmed the EV but then backed down a bit.

“Sooner or later, the Urus will become electric… to be honest, the world’s legislation, as well as societal acceptability – the trend is definitely headed in this direction,” the designer told the Australian outlet. “I’m not suggesting the Urus replacement will go electric right now, but electrification makes more sense for these sorts of automobiles.”

Borkert’s statements are tough to interpret, but we may deduce that the executives in Sant’Agata Bolognese are at least contemplating an electric Urus. It appears that it will not be ready with this model generation. Given that its successor won’t come until 2028, we’ll have to wait until the end of this decade to witness the Urus EV.

Borkert affirmed that, as far as the remainder of Lamborghini’s portfolio is concerned, the business will supply combustion power for as long as it is legally possible. However, the transition to electric powertrains is unavoidable. “People are still taught that V10 is emotional, but I’m not sure if young children will be satisfied with this in forty years. I, too, am a fan of the internal combustion engine, but I have no reservations about making the switch to electric.”
