SPY PICS: Lamborghini Urus EVO spotted

Spy shots of the new 2022 Lamborghini Urus have emerged this week, fresh from the snowy fields of Scandinavia.

Heavy camouflage keeps the body of the Italian supercar marque’s facelifted SUV mostly hidden, with just the headlights, tail-lights, quad exhaust pipes and chunky black wheels on show.

The model that shares its underpinnings with other performance SUVs such as the Audi Q8, Porsche Cayenne and Bentley Bentayga is expected to launch with only minor design tweaks, including redesigned headlights and a new front grille, as well as reworked tail-lights.

Lamborghini’s updated SUV is also tipped to sell under a new moniker – Lamborghini Urus EVO – to mark the evolutionary update.

You can count on the overhaul extending into the interior, but specific details are thin on the ground at this stage.

Ditto for the powertrain, although the 2022 Lamborghini Urus should stick with the current 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, which produces 478kW of power and 850Nm of torque.

That makes it good for a charge from zero to 100km/h in just 3.6 seconds.

After racking up its 10,000th sale midway through the COVID-struck 2020 – after only two years in production – the Lamborghini Urus finished the year with 4391 sales, which made it the House of the Raging Bull’s most popular model worldwide.

This represents almost 60 per cent of total sales across the range. Next best was the V10 Lamborghini Huracan, with 2193 vehicles delivered in 2020, alongside 846 examples of the V12 Aventador.

There were 48 Urus sales recorded in Australia last year, from a total of 111 across the brand, while examples of the SUV on the used car market attracted huge attention, including one highly-optioned dealer demo model that was asking $500,000 – more than $100K above the manufacturer’s retail list price.

In delivering its 2020 sales results last month, Lamborghini said more than half of 2021’s planned production had already been assigned to customers.
