that’s why the Lamborghini Urus costs twice as much as the BWM XM

With its retail price of 177,896 euros, the BMW XM is a car for the plebs. In this post you can read why you want to buy Lamborghini Urus Performante which is twice as expensive.

In Automatic inspection 2 we take a spin and compare two BMW sports SUVs for the wealthy.

Here on the website we clearly highlight the advantages of the Urus. You can use this to justify the huge price difference, if you are still in doubt between the two after winning the lottery.

TRY: This is why the Lamborghini Urus costs twice as much as the BWM XM

Lamborghini Urus Performante is faster

The XM and Urus Performante raise their impressive noses at top speeds of 100 and 130 km/h used in the Netherlands. Only at 180 do they start to get into their rhythm. BMW limits the top speed to 250 km/h as standard, but for an additional charge for the M Driver Package (2795 euros, including driving course), the screw is turned on to 270 km/h. Lamborghini is only limited by the wind, on paper it only stops at 306 km / h.

The Urus is also the fastest racer. The 2262 kg SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. XM more than four hundred (!) Heavy weight takes 4.1 seconds.

The Italian SUV shows more anger

Of Lamborghini such features as BMW about the V8 with two turbos, which is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Although the Urus is only slightly more powerful than the XM with 666 hp, the Italian SUV shows more anger.

The engine and transmission need only half a word to fulfill your wishes in perfect harmony and shorten the driver without compromising the smallest details.

A hint

Urus sweeps the circuit with XM

To make a long story short: the Urus Performante sweeps the track with XM. It has razor sharp steering, its brakes are solid, its chassis is a textbook example of precision, its limit range can be clearly felt and when accelerating out of a fast bend, the power delivery to the four driven wheels is fantastic.

The Lamborghini is three seconds faster than the BMW – a huge difference in the world of high performance cars.

And the multimedia system works better

Something completely different: the Urus’s impressive multimedia system. We know that from Audi Q8 and it is easy to work. With the ‘Tamburo’ on the center console you control the different configurations of electronics and auxiliary systems. The toggle switch gives an old-fashioned look. It is a welcome addition within the digital dashboard environment.

Conclusion

With the Lamborghini Urus Performante, everything is aimed at a sporty driving experience. In a straight line, the best SUVs can still keep up with each other, but as soon as the bend is approached, you will never see the Urus again. And that’s why you buy a premium sports SUV. It doesn’t matter what you have to pay the price of two XMs for a Lamborghini…
