Lamborghini Urus Hybrid Teased: Electrification Meets Iconic Design.

The eagerly awaited Lamborghini Urus Plug-In Hybrid is soon to be unveiled, as hinted in the upcoming issue #33 of the official Lamborghini Magazine. A sneak peek of the hybrid Urus was unexpectedly shared by car enthusiast Varryx on Instagram, showcasing some distinctive design tweaks.

The core design of the Urus remains, but the plug-in hybrid version will introduce fresh elements such as a revamped grille beneath the taillights and a more pronounced spoiler. The teaser hints at an enhanced driving experience, promising even greater emotional impact.

Lamborghini’s CTO, Rouven Mohr, has consistently stated the brand’s commitment to maintaining engine size while integrating electrification, rather than downsizing. This suggests the Urus Plug-In Hybrid might retain its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, though its exact origin is still under wraps.

Speculation around the hybrid’s powertrain is varied, with some sources suggesting it might borrow from the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid, while others hint at a unique engine possibly shared with the upcoming Huracan successor. Despite rumors, the inclusion of the new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission from the Revuelto seems improbable due to the extensive modifications it would necessitate.

Previous spy shots have confirmed that the hybrid Urus will feature distinct bumpers, hood, and headlights, setting it apart from the non-hybrid models, which are no longer in production. Expectations also include new wheel designs, paint options, and an interior refresh aimed at enhancing ergonomics by reducing touch controls in favor of more tactile switches.

With Lamborghini teasing the new model in its magazine, an official reveal seems just around the corner. Lamborghini enthusiasts should stay tuned for the official announcement and be prepared for the next evolution of the Urus.
