- We’re going to drive a Lamborghini Urus S in LA this week.
- It packs a 657hp twin-turbo V8 and costs over $300,000.
As entry-level cars go, the Lamborghini Urus S isn’t what anyone would call typical. The model we’re about to drive starts at $233,853. On top of that, it sports some $70,000 in options alone. Before we take it out for a spin we are here to answer your questions about it.
For those less familiar, the Urus S is the mildest flavor of Lamborghini’s SUV lineup—though “mild” in Lamborghini terms still means a ferocious 657-horsepower (489 kW) twin-turbo V8, an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and all-wheel drive. Expect this to be a testing time where we spend copious amounts on fuel too since this car gets 14 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. Hey, it’s better than the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Final Edition we just finished driving.

It’s worth pointing out that the Urus S is meant to be fast but highly comfortable too. To that end, it comes standard with air suspension, active damping, and active roll stabilization. Interestingly, most of the features the Lamborghini lists on the window sticker are ‘optional’ and cost extra.
That includes the $13,384 Balloon White exterior paint, the $6,082 Bicolor Sofisticato interior, and the $6,238 wheels that measure 23 inches in diameter. The least expensive option on this super SUV are the $185 valve caps that come with the Lamborghini shield on the ends. The total price of this car before dealer markup or destination is $305,693.
We’ll pilot this super SUV around Los Angeles as we check out the 2024 LA Auto Show and several of the events surrounding it. We’ll also be at Cars & Coffee on the 20th, so feel free to say hello!
From a personal standpoint, let me just say that my favorite car company as a kid was Lamborghini. I’ve never driven one. Some would argue that this still isn’t a ‘real’ Lamborghini. Between now and Friday we’ll find out just how wild and bull-like it really is though. Before we turn it back in, what do you want to know about it? Bring on the tough questions!
