First Lambo SUV goes on sale here
AFTER unveiling its first modern-day SUV last December, Lamborghini has finally rolled out the luxury four-door Urus in Malaysia. The Urus is priced just under RM1mil before duties. It has received 30 pre-orders in Malaysia.
The Urus boasts a striking design and is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine with 650hp mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Lamborghini said the Urus can sprint from 0-100kph in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 305kph.
The Urus’ 4WD system with active torque vectoring and fourwheel steering endows it with agility and the ability to take corners like a low-slung sportscar.
The “super SUV” also gets Carbon Ceramic Brakes (CCB) as standard, which are the largest and most powerful available, measuring 440X40mm at the front and 370X30mm at the rear.
In the driving modes STRADA, TERRA (off-road) and NEVE (snow), torque vectoring reduces understeer for safe and simple driving.
In SPORT and CORSA torque vectoring allows the Urus to become more agile with a greater oversteer character as interaction between the four-wheel drive system and electronic stability control (ESC) manages oversteer to enable a precise and fun drive.
In SABBIA (sand) mode, the system is calibrated for precision on terrains with reduced grip such as on gravel or sand dunes, making it the ideal mode for off-road fun.
Lamborghini Kuala Lumpur chief operating officer Marcus Chye said buyers would likely need to wait 18 months for the Urus to be delivered, due to high global demand.
