2024 Lamborghini Urus

Perhaps no model embodies the "sport" in sport-utility vehicle as fully as the 2024 Lamborghini Urus. For several years, more SUVs that blur the lines between sports car, wagon and utility shuttle have debuted. But few carry the expectations — and skepticism — of ultimate performance quite like a tall-ish four-door wearing Lamborghini's famous bull shield. The skeptics needn't worry, though. The Urus follows a similar ethos as other Lambos: Shape it like a sharpened weapon, then add more power than is prudent. Not surprisingly, performance is exemplary. But more satisfying is that the Urus' high limits don't compromise comfort — the benefit of sharing its structural roots with distant Audi and Porsche counterparts.

At this level of price and performance, more is more, but not always better. We like the Urus S since it retains the adjustable air suspension and smaller wheels, giving it a more forgiving ride than the Performante's more aggressive settings. Both trims share the same powertrain, so the S still offers an overabundance of power and performance that's sure to shock and delight.
