The Lamborghini Urus Hybrid, one of the most highly anticipated models from the Italian carmaker, has been spotted testing with the latest spy photos. The crossover remains hidden under a camouflage wrap, but the cover is expected to come off later this year.
The updated Urus S was launched by Lamborghini last September, displaying the crossover’s revamped looks. If the latest spy shots are any indication, the Urus Hybrid should look quite similar. However, there are some differences. The electrified SUV features a new hood, updated headlights, and a unique front fascia with restyled lower vents. From the back, it looks like a typical Urus, but the company could make small changes to the fascias and rear diffuser.

The powertrain of the Urus Hybrid has been the subject of much speculation, but current rumors suggest that it will arrive with the plug-in hybrid technology from the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid underneath the body. While the Porsche produces 690 horsepower (514 kilowatts) with its setup, pairing a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 with an electric motor, the Urus could make upwards of 820 hp (611 kW) in its top trim. Other rumors have suggested that it will make 808 hp (602 kW). There could be a less-powerful 675-hp (503-kW) option, too.
The interior of the new Urus Hybrid is expected to be similar to that of the S or Performante, with some hybrid-specific touches and menus and gauges related to the hybrid powertrain. Lamborghini has not yet announced the reveal date for the Urus Hybrid, but it is expected to go on sale in the US for the 2024 model year. The reveal is expected to take place later this year, after the automaker launches its Aventador successor. The new supercar will sit at the top of Lamborghini’s lineup, still with a V12 under the hood, but it’ll be a hybrid too, as the automaker plans to offer an electrified version of every model in its lineup by 2024.
