Lamborghini Urus EV delayed, plug-in hybrid to take the lead until 2029
Lamborghini Urus SE uses a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine working in conjunction with an electric motor and a 25.9 kWh battery pack. Check Offers Lamborghini's long-anticipated shift to electrification is undergoing a strategic rethink. While the brand has made bold proclamations about going electric, the reality of customer sentiment appears to be pulling it in a different direction—one that's less about full EVs and more about hybrid performance. The Urus EV, which had been expected to spearhead the electrification charge, has itself been pushed back as Lamborghini realigns its electrification strategy. Urus EV Timeline Pushed Back, Hybrid Takes Priority Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann recently affirmed that the all-electric version of the Urus SUV will no longer come as soon as it was initially scheduled. Instead, a next-generation Urus will debut as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), reflecting what Winkelmann described as a decision that will 'make our customers very happy." According to him, the hybrid version better aligns with the expectations of Lamborghini's clientele, who continue to prize performance and emotional driving experiences—attributes not easily replicated in current EVs. Also Read : Lamborghini Urus SE launched at ₹ 4.57 crore. Check what's new Though Winkelmann did not confirm an exact launch date, hints suggest the second-generation Urus could debut around 2029. A fully electric Urus, if it happens at all, is unlikely to arrive before 2035, giving Lamborghini ample time to monitor changes in global regulations, charging infrastructure, and consumer attitudes. Lanzador EV Also Faces Potential Delay Lamborghini's electrification ambitions aren't limited to the Urus. The Lanzador concept, unveiled at the 2023 Monterey Car Week, was introduced as a preview of the brand's fourth production model and first full EV. A futuristic 2+2 crossover with dual-motor AWD and a sustainable-material interior, the Lanzador was initially scheduled for launch by 2028. However, that timeline is now uncertain. Winkelmann indicated that a final decision on its production schedule will be made in early 2026, though he remains optimistic about a late-decade debut.

The likes of Ferrari and Lotus have also encountered resistance from loyal customers who are understandably reluctant to embrace fully electric powertrains. For companies based on emotional performance and their specific engine notes, an evolution into a silent, torque-rich EV raises branding and experience hurdles. Meanwhile, Lamborghini will keep diversifying the Urus range with a PHEV version of the Urus Performante, merging electrification with driving passion that marks the brand. Whether or not the Urus EV ever takes to the road, Lamborghini is sending a message loud and clear: the future might be electric, but the heart of the raging bull won't go unheard just yet.

Actor Ram Kapoor wasn't the first Indian. Which cricketer beat him to the Rs 5 crore Lamborghini Urus?
Ram Kapoor has recently drawn significant public interest—not only due to his reappearance on screen but also because of his latest addition to his luxury car collection : a Lamborghini Urus SE . Several media outlets had earlier speculated that the popular actor was the first Indian to own this high-performance SUV. However, Kapoor has now addressed those claims and provided a more accurate version of events. While promoting his upcoming digital series Mistry, Kapoor spoke exclusively to NDTV , sharing his perspective on the excitement around his new vehicle. During the interaction, he clarified that he was not the first Indian to purchase the Lamborghini Urus SE. In fact, according to him, nearly four or five others had already bought the same model before him. However, what sets his car apart is its unique shade—making him possibly the first Indian to own the vehicle in that particular colour variant. Adding further context to the discussion, Kapoor mentioned that cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar also owns the same SUV model. This effectively quashes the notion that Kapoor was the original Indian buyer of the car. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Click Here) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo For those unfamiliar with the model, the Lamborghini Urus SE is a luxury plug-in hybrid SUV that officially debuted in the Indian market in April 2024. With a starting price tag of approximately ₹5.21 crore, it caters to an elite clientele. Kapoor's acquisition of this automobile added to his already impressive fleet, which includes names like the Ferrari Portofino M, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Range Rover Autobiography, and the Mercedes-AMG G 63. When the photos of his new Lamborghini surfaced online, they quickly went viral, especially since his wife, Gautami Kapoor, appeared alongside him during the delivery of the vehicle. On the professional front, Kapoor is preparing for his return to acting with the web series Mistry, which is set to premiere on JioHotstar starting June 27, 2025. The series also stars Mona Singh, who joins him in a story filled with suspense, drama, and crime. In Mistry, Kapoor takes on the role of a private investigator entangled in a complicated web of deception, danger, and secrets. As his character delves deeper into a mysterious case, startling revelations begin to surface, driving the narrative forward with twists and surprises. Mona Singh plays a law enforcement officer whose journey intersects with Kapoor's, creating a dynamic and layered storyline. With a lavish new car and a compelling role on screen, Ram Kapoor continues to remain a figure of fascination for fans and media alike.
