The recent PGA Cars World of Supercars roadshow has paved the way for grand launches where the best of the best are gathered in one large and prestigious event. This time, we now take a look at the 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE, a new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variant that takes advantage of electrification for both lower emissions and relentless performance.
Lurking under its hood is the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that the Urus has always used. Only this time, it’s complemented by a 189 horsepower electric motor mounted right at the gearbox. Together with the V8, it has a total system output of 789 horsepower, with power sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic. Now, for the sustainability part, its 25.9 kWh lithium-ion battery allows the Urus SE to come with a pure electric range of more than 60 km.
Since the Urus SE sits above the Urus S (which is essentially the facelift for the Urus), the overall driving characteristics of the SE are sort of a bridge to the range-topping Performante. It has a 0-100 kph time of just 3.4 seconds, a tenth faster than the Urus S, but also a tenth slower than the Performante. That’s because this is also the heaviest Urus and therefore the heaviest Lamborghini to date, 2,540 kg due to the batteries and electric motors.
Besides, Lamborghini surely wouldn’t allow the Urus SE to be faster than its top-performing Performante variant, right? Also, unlike the Urus S and Performante, the Urus SE ditches the mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD) in favor of a new “virtual” LSD. This, according to Lamborghini, produces an “on-demand” 0versteer, basically the rear end having the ability to let loose.
As for its design, it is largely similar to the Urus S, albeit with a few alterations. The 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE gains a new design for its adaptive matrix LED headlights, while the front bumper also receives a slight redesign. The redesigned hood also extends to the bumper for a cleaner design, giving it a similar aesthetic to the Revuelto. At the sides, the Urus SE gets a new design for the 23-inch wheels. Finally, the rear end receives a new mesh-like pattern that surround the LED taillights to mimic the rear end of the brand’s supercars.
Moving inside the 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE, the design is also largely unchanged, save for a new selection of colors, upholstery, and trim finishes. Where it differs from the Urus S is with its PHEV-specific menus, which reveal information such as charge times and electric range, just to name a few. Of course, there’s also the obligatory pure EV mode, while the buttons and switches now have a more premium feel.
A year after making its global debut at last year’s Auto China 2024 in Beijing, the electrified Urus SE is ready to take on the Philippine market. If you’re one of those looking for this electrified raging bull wrapped in an SUV body, you can order the Urus SE at Lamborghini Manila in Bonifacio Global City.
