Urus now PHEV only - with 789bhp

The Lamborghini Urus is now available exclusively with plug-in hybrid power, combining a V8 with an electric motor for nearly 800bhp and supercar levels of speed.

Called the Urus SE, it becomes Lamborghini's second hybrid after the Revuelto and will be joined later this year by an electrically assisted replacement for the Huracán, making Lamborghini's line-up all-electrified.

The production version of the fully electric Lanzador super-crossover is expected in 2028, and the second-generation Urus is due to follow shortly after with an EV powertrain.

The Urus SE was revealed on the eve of its public debut at the Beijing motor show last week, sporting a subtle new look that marks it out from the pure-V8 Urus that has been on sale since 2018.

The two versions of Lamborghini's best-seller will be in production together for a short period, while orders for the outgoing variant are fulfilled, but the pure-V8 Urus is no longer available to order and the last one will be built in the coming months.

The SE is expected to command a premium over the previous Urus, which started at £211,000 in toprung Performante guise, but Lamborghini will confirm full pricing at the UK launch in a few months.

The car's PHEV powertrain -based around the Urus's existing twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 - is largely familiar from the Porsche Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid with which Lamborghini's SUV shares a platform.

Flick through some of our recent road test results (from p67) and you will notice that we've just given 4.5 stars to a sensible electric supermini but awarded the supposedly exciting Porsche Macan Turbo Electric and Maserati Granturismo Folgore only 3.5 stars. Has Autocar lost its sense of fun in old age? Or are all EVs just boring?
