- Today, I am checking out
the world's first super sport-utility vehicle,
the Lamborghini Urus.
I'm Matt DeBord.
I get behind the wheel of the hottest cars
and test them in real-world scenarios.
Today, I'm taking my kids for a ride
in the Lamborghini Urus to see if it's kid-approved.
Then, I'm heading to Ikea
to see just how much cargo this SUV can handle.
This is "Real Reviews" from Cars Insider.
There have been a lot of headlines
over the course of the last year about the Lamborghini Urus
because it's such an odd vehicle.
A lot of reviewers have asked, "How much of a supercar
can an SUV really be?"
We're here to find out
how much of an SUV this Lamborghini can be,
and my first errand is gonna be taking my kids to school.
Dante: Today, I have a test.
Matt: You have a test today?
Yeah.
Matt: Wow!
What do you guys think of the Lamborghini?
Is it cool?
James: Pretty cool.
Matt: Is it pretty cool?
James: It's pretty dope!
Hey, let me ask a question, though.
James: What? You guys have driven around
in a couple of Lamborghinis at this point.
How do you think this one compares
to those other Lamborghinis?
Do you think it sticks out? - Not good, it's not good.
James: More legroom.
Do you think that this is a real Lamborghini?
Or is it just a great big yellow SUV that says Lamborghini?
It's a great big yellow SUV that says Lamborghini.
Matt: Are you a little skeptical
that it's a real Lamborghini?
I don't care even if it is a Lamborghini
'cause it doesn't even look good.
James: Dante, but it's basically the same.
It's just slightly less fast, but more room and stuff.
Matt: Do you think the world needed a Lamborghini SUV,
or is the world fine?
The world definitely didn't want
a lot more pollution, so no.
Matt: No?
The world did not need a Lamborghini SUV.
Matt: You don't think so?
James: Harsh critic, harsh critic.
Matt: He is a harsh critic, isn't he?
Well, here we are at school!
OK guys, see you later, and have a great day at school!
James: Yeah, you too, Dad! Matt: OK.
I'm gonna work hard today.
You guys learn some stuff, OK?
James: All righty.
Matt: Get educated!
Education is the key to success.
Now that the kids are at school, it's time to head to Ikea.
But first, let's talk performance.
The Urus has six driving modes on its Anima selector:
Strata, for everyday driving,
Sport, for peppier street driving,
and Corsa, for the track.
It's also got a few off-road modes: Sabbia, Terra, and Neve.
It's not gonna behave like a Jeep Wrangler or Land Rover,
but it could be a nice rally car.
In addition to these settings, it also has Ego mode,
which lets you customize
the steering, suspension, and throttle response
for your optimal driving experience.
But what really sets the Urus apart is Corsa mode.
Corsa mode lets you max out the 641 horsepower
and 631 pound-feet of torque that the engine is putting out.
That's gonna give you a zero to 60 time
of about 3 1/2 seconds,
and I think it's about time to put it to the test.
Here we are in fifth gear.
We're gonna pass this Dodge in front of us,
drop it down into third,
gonna hang out in third for a second,
listen to it up around 5,000 on the red line.
We're gonna tip in the throttle
and get ready to go up to fourth
and then punch it through the fifth
and see what it sounds like.
So I'm just hanging here, and I'm gonna hammer it.
Off we go, very quick.
Very quick in Corsa mode.
As far as the performance goes,
I like Corsa mode in Lamborghinis
because you do get the sound.
I like the sound.
You don't have to be going fast
to make the car make crazy noises.
You just have to shift the gears and let it do its thing.
It really just kicks you. It kicks you hard.
Does it kick you as hard as one of the supercars?
Maybe not!
Are you asking for an SUV
to kick you as hard as a supercar?
I don't think you're asking for an SUV
to kick you as hard as a supercar.
I don't think that's really what you want.
All right, so here we are.
We'll park the car.
Can the super sports-utility vehicle handle
some flat-pack stuff?
Will it fit?
What are the odds?
What are the odds that it fits?
Oh no!
About 8 inches.
The only thing we might be able to do
is, well, we could try this.
We remove this piece.
I have removed this part of the Urus.
OK, here's what we're gonna do.
This will work.
It's gonna work. It's gonna meet the challenge.
We're gonna have to protect the leather, of course,
with this towel that we luckily brought with us.
All right.
I'm gonna protect this part.
Ta-da!
This is fantastic!
OK, now we just have to put these things back in.
Let's see if it closes up.
Success!
Now that we know the Urus
can handle a fair amount of cargo,
let's talk more about the inside.
The interior of the Urus looks good.
It's covered in premium materials.
Lamborghini paid close attention to detail.
Our test vehicle had the sports package
complete with massively adjustable bucket seats
that actually feel pretty comfortable
even though they're well bolstered for performance driving,
and the seats can be heated and cooled to your preference.
The infotainment system is pretty much ripped
right out of an Audi, and it's quite intuitive to use.
It has a two-screen setup.
The top screen is used for navigation, managing media,
navigating through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
The bottom screen lets you control climate,
and you can interact
with some of the media settings down there as well.
The touchscreen does take some getting used to.
I found myself taking my eyes off the road a bit
to make sure that I was pressing the right buttons.
And here's a little icing on the cake:
The Lamborghini Urus has wireless charging
and a Bang and Olufsen audio system
that sounds absolutely incredible.
Overall, the interior of the Lamborghini Urus
feels ferociously sporty and exquisitely premium.
We set out to determine whether this Lamborghini Urus SUV
could be a real Lamborghini, and you know what?
It sure as heck is!
We took this car to Ikea,
and we were able to get a bunch of stuff in the back.
Check, that's a great SUV!
We were able to drive my kids to school,
and they enjoyed the ride.
We were able to take it out on the highway
and go around at wonderful, exciting velocities
and check out the speed and performance of this machine.
We did all those things,
and it's still every bit a Lamborghini!
I mean, you might be like
I was at the beginning and say,
"Ah, jeez, it's not a Huracán, it's not an Aventador.
Come on, it's not a real Lamborghini.
They just took an Audi SUV,
and they turned it into a Lamborghini!"
That is not the case at all, folks.
Let me tell you.
This thing is every bit of it a Lamborghini.
I gotta hand it to Lamborghini.
They've done an absolutely wonderful job
with this piece of machinery.
