Lamborghini Urus SE Review: Why India’s Rich Are Waiting 1 Year for This SUV
The Lamborghini Urus has officially become the “King of Super SUVs” in India. Fresh reports from early 2026 show that while the overall luxury car market faced some challenges last year, the demand for the Urus has only gone up.
In January 2026, Lamborghini India released its annual sales data. Even though the total number of cars sold dipped slightly to 111 units in 2025 (compared to 113 in 2024), the Urus SUV segment saw a massive 17% growth. This proves one clear trend: India’s ultra-rich prefer the practicality of a high-performance SUV over low-slung sports cars.
This article covers why the new Lamborghini Urus SE (Hybrid) is trending, which celebrities recently bought one, and what makes this car so special for Indian roads.
The New Star: Lamborghini Urus SE (Hybrid)
The biggest reason for the renewed buzz is the arrival of the Urus SE. Launched in India in August 2024 at a starting price of ₹4.57 Crore (ex-showroom), this is the first Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) version of the SUV.

What makes the Urus SE special?
- Dual Power: It combines a powerful 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor.
- Insane Speed: Together, they produce a massive 800 HP and 950 Nm of torque. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds.
- Electric Mode: You can actually drive this beast in “Silent Mode” (electric-only) for about 60 km. This is perfect for sneaking out of a quiet neighborhood early in the morning!
Why Is the Urus So Popular in India?
You might wonder why a ₹4.5 Crore car is selling so fast that there is a 12-month waiting period. The answer lies in India’s unique road conditions.
Traditional supercars like the Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 296 GTB have very low ground clearance. They struggle with India’s massive speed breakers and potholes.
The Urus solves this problem completely. It offers the speed of a supercar but the height and comfort of a luxury SUV. It can handle Mumbai’s traffic, Bengaluru’s speed bumps, and Delhi’s highways with equal ease. This “dual personality” makes it the most practical supercar for Indian families.
Celebrity Owners: Who Bought the Urus Recently?
In India, a car becomes a trend when cricket stars and Bollywood actors start driving it. The Urus has a long list of famous owners.
The First Indian Owner of Urus SE
In mid-2025, popular actor Ram Kapoor made headlines by becoming the first Indian celebrity to take delivery of the new Lamborghini Urus SE. He chose a stunning matte olive green color (Verde Gea) with orange interior accents.
Other Famous Owners
- Hardik Pandya: The cricket star was seen with a new Urus SE in late 2025, adding to his collection of luxury cars.
- Rohit Sharma: The Indian captain has been a long-time fan of the Urus and reportedly upgraded his collection with the newer model.
- Ranveer Singh & Kartik Aaryan: Both Bollywood stars own older versions of the Urus (Urus Pearl Capsule and Urus S).
Price and Buying Guide (2026)

- Ex-Showroom Price: ₹4.57 Crore
- On-Road Price (approx): ₹5.20 Crore to ₹5.50 Crore (depending on state taxes and insurance).
