The 2021 Lamborghini Urus is a chiseled sport utility vehicle with breathtaking speed, off-road capability and a fabulous interior. But is it enough to compete with the 2021 Porsche Cayenne, a lavish SUV with an array of customization options that can comfortably seat five?
Design & Style
The Porsche Cayenne is a magnificent vehicle with rounded fenders, a coupe style body and wide taillights. The cabin is fully modernized with 12.3 inch displays that handle many of its functions. The back seats can recline as well as move backward and forwards and they can be heated during winter or cooled during summer.
The front seats are powered and can be adjusted eighteen different ways, and can even be configured to provide back massages. The Lamborghini Urus comes in a variety of vibrant colors with interesting names such as green (Verde Mantis), orange (Arancio Borealis) and yellow (Giallo Inti). The frame sits on twenty three inch wheels with black trim, spoiler and rear diffuser. Like the Porsche, the seats within the Lamborghini can be heated/cooled and configured to provide back massages.
Technology & Safety
The Lamborghini Urus comes with multiple safety countermeasures. These include a camera with night vision, cruise control that is adaptive, notifications for cross traffic in the rear, blind area monitoring and parking assistance. Luxuries within its cabin include a digitized gauge cluster, dual touchscreens, premium audio and climate control. As you can imagine, the upholstery is the best money can buy, and includes carbon fiber with faux suede.
The Porsche Cayenne protects its passengers with automated emergency brakes, cruise and lane control, a camera with night vision and surround view and parking assistance. Comforts within its cabin include Apple CarPlay, 12.3 inch displays, satellite radio, a Bose audio system with fourteen speakers and leather upholstery.
Performance
Those that purchase the Porsche Cayenne Turbo SE Hybrid will get a dual turbo, 4 liter V8 engine that works with a motor that is electric to produce an incredible 670 horsepower, which allows it to blast from zero to sixty in just 3.6 seconds, with a maximum 183 mph top speed. The Lamborghini Urus is also equipped with a dual turbo V8 that can generate 641 horsepower, which allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 3.1 seconds, with a maximum 191 mph top speed.
The Bottom Line
Despite the insanely high price tag, the Lamborghini Urus is nearly tied with the Porsche when it comes to maximum performance, but its safety features are lackluster by comparison, the craftsmanship is poor compared to other Lamborghinis, and it is not very fuel efficient, making the Cayenne the winner.
