The Lamborghini Urus is a whole lot of race car packed into one SUV. It’s dynamic and engaging and immensely practical, but not very fuel efficient. It can conquer city streets, trails, ice, and tracks. The Urus may be more car than you realize.
That starts under the hood where the Urus packs at 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that puts out 640 horsepower and 626 pound-feet of torque. That propels the two-row SUV from zero to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds. Its top speed is 190 mph.
Lamborghini engineers have developed six different driving modes plus EGO, a fully customizable drive experience, for the Urus. Drivers are able to select the way their vehicle’s rigidity with selections enabling everything from sporty and aggressive riding to a comfortable cruise, steering, and traction.

Anima in Italian means “soul” but in Lamborghini speak, the word is short for Adaptive Network Intelligent Management. Using the Anima selector in the center console to the left side of the electronic shifter of the Urus, drivers can select from Strada, Sport, Corsa, Sabbia, Terra, and Neve drive modes. Three of the modes are for on-road driving and three are for off-road experiences.
Lamborghini Urus drive modes: Neve
This mode is designed for winter weather driving conditions. Slick, slippery, and snowy conditions that require extra traction tech are this mode’s speciality.

When you’re heading off-road and require more ground clearance, the Sabbia drive mode is here to help. It’s especially effective on sand dunes like those in Nazarè, Portugal, where the above picture was taken.
Lamborghini Urus drive modes: Sport
There’s comfortable cruising and then there’s an engaging drive in the country.This drive mode is for the latter. It is ready and eager for the Urus to traverse uphills, downhills, and turns, giving the driver the agility they need to tackle the terrain.

The Lamborghini Urus is track-ready in Corsa mode. The drive mode is the most performance oriented of the bunch. It works to minimize roll to deliver a thoroughly engaging drive experience.
Lamborghini Urus drive modes: Strada
Use your Lamborghini as a daily runaround? The Lamborghini Urus has a drive mode for that. Strada ups the comfort factor of the ride and enhances the height of the Urus at speed.

When drivers are ready to turn off-road, it’s time to turn on the Terra drive mode. Drivers looking to spend more time on the trail will want to switch up their performance tires for something more substantial.
