Lamborghini Urus BEV coming by the end of the decade, as per reports

KUALA LUMPUR: As we know Lamborghini is prepping hard to electrify its entire range by 2024 with the first plug-in hybrid model coming on roads next year. In the next stage of its EV roadmap, the Italian marque has planned to launch its first fully-electric model in 2028. 

Now, as per a recent report by Autocar, Lamborghini’s second EV will be the all-electric second-generation Urus SUV. 

Lamborghini Urus has a huge fan following all over the world and its plug-in hybrid version, the Urus Evo is already in the works. The publication reported that the super SUV will get two significant rounds of changes before 2024. The first will add more power and reduce the weight of the performance-oriented car, while the other will bring a hybrid engine on board. Amid this, the reports of the Urus BEV in making is a matter of excitement.

"After the hybrid car, the Urus will be fully electrified," Company CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed to Autocar. “It will be a completely new car in its next generation,” he added. This all-electric Urus is likely to arrive in 2029.

As for the first Lamborghini EV, the automaker confirms that it will be radically different from any model the brand has launched before. It will be built on a totally different platform with a 2+2 seating configuration. However, the development of the EV has not even started yet, stated Winkelmann.

As far as the internal combustion engine is concerned, the company’s boss has already made a statement that the production of internal combustion engines will end with the last model in 2022. Although there is no official information available on this last ICE-powered Lambo, it is expected to be the upgraded version of the Aventador.
