Lamborghini Urus SE Performante debuts 801hp plug‑in hybrid with twin spoilers

Lamborghini has unveiled the Urus SE Performante, the most powerful Urus yet at 801hp from a plug‑in hybrid setup, paired with two rear spoilers and extensive carbon fibre to shed weight. It weighs 2,473kg, does 0–62mph in 3.3s, and hits 194mph; aero gains deliver 16% more downforce than the old Performante, while drag stays the same. A 25.9kWh battery offers about 37 miles of electric range, alongside a revised eight‑speed automatic and Akrapovič exhaust; the interior features a space‑age design with a large infotainment screen.

Lamborghini Unveils Hybrid Urus SE Performante, Claims Fastest Super SUV Status

Lamborghini has introduced the Urus SE Performante, a plug-in hybrid version of its Urus SUV that the company touts as the fastest super SUV, with 0-100 kph in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 312 kph. Power comes from an electric motor paired with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, delivering 812 hp and about 738 lb-ft of torque. Pricing for the 2026 Urus SE is expected around $250,000–$280,000. The move continues Lamborghini’s shift away from pure EVs toward hybrids, though executives say a return to gas-only models isn’t ruled out.}

Lamborghini Dumps Its First EV, Bets on Hybrid Power

Lamborghini is scrapping its Lanzador all-electric supercar and shifting to plug-in hybrids, after CEO Stephan Winkelmann said demand for EVs among its customers is almost zero and investing in full EVs would be an “expensive hobby.” By 2030 the brand plans all models to be PHEVs while maintaining internal combustion engines for now, and will continue electrification efforts but only when customer demand justifies it. Never say never on EVs, but the current market isn’t ready for a pure electric Lambo.

Lamborghini abandons all-electric supercar, bets on plug-in hybrids

Lamborghini has scrapped its planned Lanzador all-electric supercar after CEO Stephen Winkelmann cited near-zero buyer interest. The company will replace the Lanzador with plug-in hybrids (like Reveulto and Urus) and aims for a hybrid EV lineup by 2030, while continuing internal combustion engines for as long as possible; a future all-electric model could appear only when the time is right.

Lamborghini Quits Lanzador, Bets on Plug-In Hybrids as EV Demand Slumps

CEO Stephan Winkelmann said demand for EVs among its high-end customers is near zero, calling EVs an “expensive hobby” while regulators push decarbonization; the move aims to balance emission rules with the brand’s emotional appeal.

Mercedes S-Class facelift boosts power, hybrids and steering dynamics

Mercedes’ 2026 S-Class facelift is a major mid‑cycle refresh with about 2,700 new or updated parts. It introduces redesigned powertrains: the M256 Evo inline‑six gains torque and overboost, and the M177 Evo flat‑plane V8 in the S580 makes 530 hp. A plug‑in hybrid S580e combines the six with an electric motor for more output and over 62 miles of WLTP range. All gasoline engines get a 17‑kW mild‑hybrid system and a 48‑V setup; diesels switch to the OM 656 Evo. Rear‑wheel steering becomes standard at 4.5 degrees (10 degrees optional), and the air suspension is refined with cloud‑based damping data. The S‑Class debuts January 29, with the Maybach variant arriving later.

Stellantis Recalls Over 300,000 Jeep Hybrids Due to Fire Risk

Stellantis is recalling over 300,000 Jeep plug-in hybrids in North America due to a fire risk linked to defective high-voltage batteries, which could cause fires when parked or driving. Owners are advised to park outdoors and avoid charging until repairs are completed, as the issue involves separator damage in lithium-ion cells that can lead to thermal runaway. The recall affects Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe models from 2020-2026, with no current fix available.
