The Lamborghini Urus will phase out its non-hybrid V-8 engine by 2024, becoming fully electric by 2029 as per a recent report from Autocar.
Lamborghini is slated to release a Urus plug-in hybrid next year, maintaining the current 4.0-liter V-8 twin-turbo engine, but integrating an electric boost. This will make it Lamborghini’s second plug-in hybrid, following the Aventador successor, the Revuelto, according to the company’s CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, in an Autocar interview.

The inclusion of electric assist with the V-8 engine is expected to produce the most potent Urus so far, with the existing lineup reaching up to 657 hp.
Launched in 2018 for the 2019 model year, the Urus is Lamborghini’s highest-selling model. It was upgraded to the Urus S specification last year. Additionally, a sportier Urus Performante was introduced to the series.

An all-electric Urus is projected to be Lamborghini’s second EV, following the expected launch of a 2+2 grand tourer in 2028. This new model, with no direct predecessor, is rumored to offer a 300-mile range and comfortable rear seating. Lamborghini plans to initially utilize the all-electric powertrains for its luxury-oriented models, resorting to electric supercars only if mandated by regulations.
Over the upcoming years, Lamborghini will launch more variants of the Revuelto and a replacement for the Huracán. Furthermore, the company will remodel its factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. It is anticipated to construct the Revuelto and Huracán replacement on the same assembly line, a first in Lamborghini’s history.
