The Urus is the Lamborghini that people who would never fit in a Huracan can actually use: five seats, a boot, a ride height that clears a driveway, and a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that gets it to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds. It is also the most recognised SUV on Sydney roads by a wide margin, which is either the point or the problem depending on why you are booking. It is confirmed by request, so send your dates and you will get a straight answer before anything is charged.

The seat count is the line that matters. Everything else on that table is available from
a handful of other cars. A Lamborghini badge on a car that carries five people and their
luggage is available from exactly one, and that is why the Urus outsells every other model
the company has ever made.
What It Is Actually Like in Sydney
The badge works before you touch the throttle
Nothing else on this site draws attention the way the Urus does, and that includes the
Huracan. A low supercar gets looked at. The Urus gets filmed, because it is at eye level,
it is painted in colours that were never meant to hide, and it is instantly recognised by
people who could not name a single other Lamborghini. Pull up outside a restaurant, a
reception or a hotel and the arrival is done before the engine is off. If that is the point
of the booking, and for most Urus bookings it is, the car does the job standing still.
The flip side is real. There is no anonymous trip in this car. A quiet coffee run becomes
a conversation with a stranger at the servo, and a red light on a Saturday night is an
audience. People who want the pace without the attention are better served by the G-Wagon,
which is recognised but not chased.
The pace is not an SUV's pace
Four hundred and seventy-eight kilowatts and 850Nm through all four wheels gets a
two-and-a-bit-tonne car to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds, and that is the least of it. The
mid-range is the thing. From 80km/h on the M1 it simply removes whatever is in front,
without a downshift, without a pause, and with a noise from the four tailpipes that turns
the cutting walls into a loudspeaker. In Corsa mode the gearbox holds ratios, the exhaust
opens and the whole car becomes far louder and far angrier than the shape suggests.
In corners it does something a car this tall should not. The active anti-roll system
keeps the body flat, the rear-wheel steering tightens the line at low speed and steadies it
at high, and the enormous carbon-ceramic brakes wash off speed without fade. On the Old
Pacific Highway it will stay with a serious sports car until the road gets tight and lumpy,
at which point the width and the weight start to matter. It is a car for fast, open roads
rather than narrow, broken ones.
The drive selector is most of the personality
The lever on the console cycles through Strada, Sport and Corsa, and then into Sabbia,
Terra and Neve for sand, dirt and snow. Strada is the everyday setting and it is calmer than
you might expect: the ride is compliant on air, the exhaust is subdued, and the car is a
large, quick luxury SUV. Sport is where most people leave it, because the exhaust wakes up
and the throttle sharpens without the ride becoming tiring. Corsa is for an empty road with
nobody in the back. The off-road modes raise the body and soften everything, and they are
genuinely useful on the gravel car park at the end of a Palm Beach run or a dirt track to
a wedding venue in the Hunter, which is not a sentence anyone expected to write about a
Lamborghini.
It carries people and things
Five seats, a boot that takes a proper set of luggage, rear doors that open wide, and a
ride height that does not scrape on the ramp at the airport car park. A family of four with
bags for a weekend fits without negotiation. That is the whole reason the car exists and it
is worth restating, because it means the Urus gets used in ways no other exotic does: the
airport collection, the day out with the kids, the long drive with the in-laws. The Huracan
does one thing brilliantly. The Urus does five things well, and one of them is the thing the
Huracan does.
The airport collection is the clearest example. Two people arriving on a long-haul
flight with two large cases and two carry-ons fit in the Urus with the rear seats still
up and nobody holding a bag on their lap. That same job in the Huracan means a second car
for the luggage, which is a real cost and a real inconvenience that nobody mentions in the
brochure. If the point of the hire is to meet someone at the terminal in a Lamborghini and
then actually take them somewhere, this is the one that does it in a single trip.
Things You Should Know
It is wide, long-nosed and low at the front
For all the ride height, the front splitter sits low and the bonnet is long, so steep
driveways and car park ramps need the nose lifted and taken slowly. The car is also wider
than a standard parking bay is comfortable with, and older multi-storeys in the city are a
patient exercise. Park it with the cameras, choose the end bay where you can, and give it
the same margin you would give a boat. It is not difficult, but it is a car you place rather
than throw.
Fuel, tyres and the cost of using it hard
It takes premium unleaded and, driven the way the exhaust encourages, it uses more of it
than almost anything else on this site. The tyres are very large, very expensive and wear
quickly on the outside edges if the car is driven hard through corners. The carbon-ceramic
brakes are durable but ruinously expensive to damage. Normal wear is included in the hire.
A kerbed 23-inch wheel is not, and neither are tyres scrubbed from a weekend of launch
starts. Enjoy it fully and treat the wheels like the jewellery they are.
The attention cuts both ways
The car will be photographed at every stop and followed by people wanting a closer look.
That is harmless nearly all of the time and mildly stressful some of the time, and it is
worth knowing before you park it on a busy street overnight. Off-street parking at your
accommodation is strongly recommended, and if the itinerary includes a public event, ask
the venue where the car can sit somewhere you can see it. None of this is unique to the Urus,
but it is more pronounced than for any other car here.
Choosing the Trim
Urus
The original car, from 2018, with 478kW and the full air suspension. On a public road it
is not meaningfully slower than the later cars and it is the version most likely to be
sourced for a given set of dates.
Urus S
The 2022 update: 490kW, a revised front end and detail changes inside. Same air
suspension, same seats, same use. If it is the extra dozen kilowatts you are after, you will
not feel them; if it is the newer look, you will see it.
Urus Performante
Also 490kW, but lower and firmer on conventional springs rather than air, lighter, with
more carbon and a 3.3-second sprint. It is the sharper car and the less comfortable one for
whoever is in the back. It is also the rarest, so ask for it by name and expect the answer
to take longer.
Who Books This Car
People whose occasion is about the arrival: weddings, milestone birthdays, a collection
from the airport that is meant to be remembered. Families who want a Lamborghini for a
weekend and refuse to leave anyone behind to have it. Drivers who have done the Huracan and
want the other Lamborghini, the one with a boot. Visitors to Sydney who want one car for the
whole stay rather than a sports car for the drive and a taxi for everything else.
It is proposed from $2,200 a day, which sits just under the Huracan and well above the
G-Wagon, and it is the only car on this site at that level that carries five. It is
confirmed by request: tell us your dates, the trim if it matters and where to deliver, we
source the car, and you hear a clear yes or no before anything is charged.
If it cannot be done for your dates, you will be offered the Huracan or the G-Wagon by
name and told plainly which one is closer to what you asked for.
A word on what it is not. It is not a discreet car, it is not a cheap car to run for a
week, and it is not the Lamborghini for someone whose memory of the brand is a wedge-shaped
V12 with the doors up. It is the one for a family, a group or an occasion, where the seats
and the boot are as much of the reason as the badge, and where being seen arriving is the
whole point. Book it for that and it is close to unbeatable. Book it as a quiet week of
transport and the attention, the fuel and the width will all wear thin by Wednesday.
If the Lamborghini Urus is booked
We never move you down a tier. If your dates are taken, these are the exotic cars we will offer instead, and we will tell you plainly if none of them is free rather than substituting something lesser on the day.
Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon
- 430kW
- 4.5s
- AWD
- 5 seats
- $1500/day
The most recognised shape on the road, and the one people book when arriving is part of the occasion.
Lamborghini Huracan
- 449kW
- 3.2s
- AWD
- 2 seats
- $2500/day
Naturally aspirated V10 and all-wheel drive. The most dramatic car we run and the most forgiving supercar in the wet.
Want the Lamborghini with the V10 instead?
The Huracan is on the road today, with two seats and a naturally aspirated engine the Urus does not have. Tell us whether seats or sound matters more and we will say which to book.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum age to hire a Urus?
Twenty-five, with a full unrestricted licence checked in person when the car is handed over. The Urus is in the Exotic tier, where the minimum driver age is 25 regardless of experience, and every additional driver must be named on the booking and meet the same requirements. An unnamed driver behind the wheel means no cover at all.
Can you deliver it to me?
Yes, across the Sydney metro. Delivery to a hotel in the city, a home in Vaucluse or Castle Hill, or a venue on the Northern Beaches is priced by distance and shown as its own line before you pay. Give us the address with your dates and the quote comes back with delivery already in it, so the number you see is the number you pay.
How does the bond work on a car like this?
A bond is held on the named driver's card as a pre-authorisation and released once the car has been returned and checked. It is a hold, not a charge. The amount and the damage excess for the Exotic tier are both confirmed in writing before you pay, along with the option to reduce the excess, and neither changes at handover.
Is the Urus actually available to book right now?
It is confirmed by request. This is a car sourced for your dates rather than one parked and waiting, so when your dates come in we check, reply with a clear yes or no, and only take payment once it is confirmed. If we cannot do it for those dates we say so plainly and offer the Huracan or the G-Wagon, whichever is closer to what you wanted.
Which Urus would I get: the original, the S or the Performante?
That depends on what can be sourced for your dates, and you will be told exactly which before you pay. The original makes 478kW; the S and the Performante make 490kW, and the Performante sits lower on conventional springs with a 3.3-second sprint. On a public road the differences are in the badge and the ride more than the pace. Ask for one by name if it matters.
Does it really seat five?
The standard car does, with a three-seat rear bench and enough room for three adults on a short trip or two in comfort on a long one. Some cars were ordered with the optional individual rear seats, which make it a four-seater with a console between the rear passengers. We confirm the layout of the actual car when we confirm the dates.
Is it hard to drive around the city?
Not mechanically. It is an automatic all-wheel-drive SUV with good cameras and a ride height that clears speed humps and driveways. What takes getting used to is the width, the length of the nose, and the attention: people film it, wave at it and pull alongside it at the lights. Give yourself an extra lane's worth of margin and it is an easy car.
