- Lamborghini has decided to offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain in the next-generation Urus.
- The model was originally slated to go electric, but the company implied customers didn’t want that.
- The upcoming Lanzador EV could also be delayed, but a decision is coming early next year.
Lamborghini has been talking about electric vehicles for years, but it appears the company has finally discovered an unwelcome truth. Buyers of high-end exotics don’t want a fully electric powertrain.

Ferrari and Lotus have already discovered this, so it comes as little surprise that Lamborghini has also come to their senses. CEO Stephan Winkelmann alluded to this as he recently confirmed the Urus EV has been delayed.

Speaking to Autocar, the executive said “We want to have a new generation again as a plug-in hybrid. This is something very important for us and for the customers.” He added clients will be “very happy to hear about this.”
It’s unclear when the second-generation crossover will arrive, but Winkelmann implied it might come around 2029. That’s a ways off, but the company is still working on new variants of the current model including a plug-in hybrid version of the Urus Performante.
As for the Urus EV, it could land in 2035. However, that’s not a firm date as the executive noted the company has time on their side. This means they can see how regulations, infrastructure, and acceptance changes in the years ahead.
The Lanzador EV could also be pushed back and a decision is expected to be made early next year. However, Winkelmann signaled his support for a launch late this decade. Regardless of what happens, the model has already been delayed from 2028 to 2029.
As a refresher, the Lanzador concept was introduced at Monterey Car Week in 2023 and designed to preview the brand’s fourth series production model. It was a slick 2+2 crossover with a dual-motor all-wheel drive system and an interior made almost entirely out of sustainable materials.
