Chassis and suspension
The Urus is the new benchmark for a Super SUV and a true Lamborghini : it delivers best-in-class lightweight technologies and weight-to-power ratio , with innovation in design and engineering to ensure the best possible driving dynamics as well as overall efficiency .
At a curb weight of less than 2,200 kg , Lamborghini ’ s team of designers and R & D engineers focused on weight reduction throughout the car ’ s chassis , with an intelligent materials mix to ensure maximum stiffness for the best possible comfort and handling as well as lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions . The chassis is a blend of aluminum and steel , with frameless aluminum doors , torsional beams replacing a C-pillar , and cross-members in aluminum contributing to the lightweight Urus , as does the chassis floor in a high-strength steel material . Seats are designed and constructed for lightweight comfort and rims are in forged aluminum .
The front axle with aluminum subframe and suspensionstrut support includes specially-designed pivot bearings and wishbone structure . A rear axle with optimized subframe features an aluminum and steel hybrid construction cell . The powertrain mount system has been devised to reduce the effect of engine movement on the chassis , removing uncomfortable chassis vibrations while still delivering a highly sporty feeling through an extremely rigid chassis : a true Lamborghini characteristic . The adaptive air suspension system enables the vehicle to be raised or lowered according to road and driving conditions , with ride height further customizable by the driver via the settings of a Urus-specific controller in the center console : the Tamburo ( Drum ).
Brakes and wheels
The Urus ’ braking system is commensurate with its super sports car performance , ensuring high thermal resistance and accommodating frequent and heavy braking , even from high speeds and in extreme conditions such as on track or at high altitude . Carbon Ceramic Brakes ( CCB ) as standard , are the largest and most powerful available , measuring 440 x 40 mm at the front and 370 x 30 mm at the rear . With virtually no brake fade the system optimizes pedal feel , assuring performance and safety in all conditions and environments .
Wheel options range from 21 ” to 23 ”, fitted with a range of summer , winter , all-season , all-terrain and sport tires , all especially developed by Pirelli for the Lamborghini Urus and with widths varying between front and rear to enhance stability and sportive driving behavior .
Versatility and usability The Urus interior
The Urus is as much a luxury SUV as the most powerful , with a super sports car dynamism to be enjoyed by both driver and passengers . The interior ’ s design and finish echoes that of the exterior in terms of unmistakable Lamborghini design , colorways and individuality . Inside , the Urus is as clearly a Lamborghini as it is from outside , with a sporty yet luxurious design and finish .
The Urus embodies the Lamborghini principal that a car ’ s design , power and dynamic capabilities means every driver should feel like a pilot . The Lamborghini Urus is technologically advanced , yet intuitively operable . The driver and passengers are all afforded a low but extremely comfortable super sports car seat position , firmly integrated within the cabin and for the driver , every cockpit control within easy reach . Oriented around the driver , the slim Y design of the dashboard , like double silver wings and connected to the climbing center console , is inspired by the LM002 as well as by current Lamborghini super sports cars . The Lamborghini hexagonal theme echoes throughout the interior , in elements such as air vents and door handles , and even in items such as the cup holders and air bag modules . A multi-function , three-spoke steering wheel incorporates a vibration damper to enhance comfort in all driving conditions . Multifunction switches are intuitively located on the steering wheel to control the Lamborghini Infotainment System ( LIS ), including car set-up , media , telephone and navigation .
A fully-digital TFT display shows the Urus ’ main information in an animated 3D representation and is customizable by the driver .
Seating
Its long wheelbase of 3,003 mm and the low seating position of the occupants creates a comfortable and extremely spacious feel . The Urus ensures luxury and roominess for each of its occupants in seats designed specifically for the Urus Super SUV .
The standard front DNA memory sport seats are fully electric , heated and 12-way adjustable . More luxurious , 18-way fullyelectric front seats are available as an option , including features such as ventilation and massage . The rear bench seat as standard comes with a movable and folding seat back and ISOFIX fixings . Providing an extremely comfortable five-seat configuration , the ability to fold and move the rear seat offers maximum versatility and increased luggage capacity for daily use . The rear bench seat can be lowered to substantially extend the trunk space from 616 liters to 1.596 liters . As an option in conjunction with the fully-electric front seats , a more exclusive two-seat rear layout can be specified providing exceptional rear passenger comfort while reflecting the Urus ’ sporty character .
