2025 LAMBORGHINI URUS SE: THE BEST PLUG-IN HYBRID I HAVE EVER TESTED (AND MOST EXPENSIVE)

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE is presented as the pinnacle of plug-in hybrid SUVs, with the reviewer declaring it the best they have ever tested. The vehicle impressively blends Lamborghini's passionate design and soul with German engineering, offering a formidable 4.0L twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor for a combined 789 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque. The reviewer highlights the exhilarating acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in as little as 3.57 seconds, and praises the car's ability to switch between a roaring V8 experience in Corsa mode and quiet, efficient EV cruising. Positives include the luxurious interior, advanced technology sourced from Audi, comfortable ride in Strada mode, and impressive real-world fuel economy (over 30 MPG) and electric range (up to 35 miles). However, the reviewer notes some minor drawbacks, such as the questionable styling of fake fender vents and the high cost of optional paint. While the rear seats offer ample space, they lack the bolstering needed for spirited driving, and the central tunnel makes seating three across tight. Despite these points, the Urus SE is lauded as a remarkable achievement, offering the best of multiple worlds: SUV practicality, supercar performance, and hybrid efficiency.
