But is it any good? We\u2019ve checked out the first reviews to find out\u2026PerformancePowered by the same four-litre V8 twin turbo all-wheel-drive engine found in the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and riding on the same chassis as the Audi SQ7, the Urus is said to be able to sprint to 62mph in 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 189mph. It promises to be a very fast SUV and that was verified by Auto Express (AE).\u2018The Urus blasts forward at every opportunity, consuming fuel and road space with the same enthusiasm, all while emitting a deep roar in its more aggressive settings,\u2019 writes AE\u2019s Adam Towler, who went on to hail its agility, braking ability and sheer cornering grip as \u2018a triumph of engineering knowhow over mass\u2019.In contrast, Autocar\u2019s Matt Prior was impressed with how \u2018tremendously well\u2019 the Urus came to a stop given the car\u2019s 2.2-tonne weight. He also noted how comfortable the Urus was in a street setting, while the steering remained light and responsive.Short-lived noveltyWriting for the Sunday Times Driving section, Jeremy Clarkson found that the Urus\u2019 novelty wore off after a day, and soon dared to deem it \u2018ordinary\u2019. \u2018You can use the track mode and switch off the driver aids and create some madness that way. But you never will. Not really,\u2019 he writes.The former Top Gear honcho couldn\u2019t deny the Urus was \u2018a good car\u2019, but refused to acknowledge it as \u2018a proper Lambo\u2019. He liked how it was \u2018bloody fast\u2019, but bemoaned its slight hesitation when he floored the accelerator. The fact it has window switches from a Golf mk7 made it feel \u2018disappointingly ordinary\u2019 too.One of a kindCar Magazine\u2019s Liam Shard added that until Ferrari and Aston join the SUV club (and they will), the Urus stands alone as the most extreme SUV money can buy. \u2018It’s indecently fast, whether the road is straight, curvy, bumpy or not a road, it looks unique and it can carry all the family or friends when needs be,\u2019 Liam writes.\u2018The only question remains for those with the cash: be an early adopter or wait it out for the even faster SV version?\u2019Want to know more about the Lamborghini Urus? Check out our full lowdown on the super SUV here.PriceA super sports luxury SUV is never going to come cheap, especially one that wears a Lamborghini badge, and to be fair, the \u00a3165k+ price tag isn\u2019t likely to dissuade the Urus\u2019 wedged target market. In fact, Autocar reports that the Urus is expected to be so popular that it will double the brand\u2019s output to 7,000 cars a year.RatingsAuto Express, Car Magazine, Autocar, Top Gear and the Sunday Times all awarded the Urus four stars or an equivalent eight out of ten rating. So that\u2019s agreed\u2026What do you think about the Urus? Should Lambo stick to what it knows? Or should it move with the times? Let us know down in the comments.
