Lamborghini Urus vs. Bentley Bentayga

Silhouette With Swagger

The Urus doesn’t merely arrive—it commands. With its low-slung, wedge-like profile, razor-sharp lines, and sloped roofline, this muscular SSUV is sculpted more like a supercar than a sport utility vehicle. Lamborghini calls it “design with intent,” and it looks perpetually in motion—even when standing still.

Meanwhile, the Bentayga carries itself with upright composure and understated elegance. Its rounded contours speak to comfort, not confrontation. Refined in a classic, even conservative way, it favors sophistication over spectacle. Choosing between them isn’t about taste—they both reflect it—but about tempo. The Bentley draws from tradition, while the Lamborghini writes its own.

Crafted From Character

Step inside either model to enter a world shaped by heritage and intention. The Urus interior is driver-focused: a cockpit carved from carbon fiber, Alcantara® suede, and anodized aluminum. Its hexagonal motifs echo Lamborghini’s signature geometry, creating a sense of motion even at rest. In contrast, the Bentayga evokes an old-world lounge: mirror-polished wood veneers, quilted leather, and deep carpets bow to British craftsmanship. The Bentley cocoons you in comfort; the Lamborghini sharpens your senses.

Both brands offer near-limitless personalization: Lamborghini through its Ad Personam program, Bentley via the Mulliner division. Whether your vision is sporting minimalism or bespoke opulence, each SUV becomes a canvas for self-expression. The question is not what's possible but how far you want to go.

Aptitude With Attitude

The Lamborghini Urus and the Bentley Bentayga are powered by 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engines, but their outputs—and the personalities behind them—diverge.

Beyond the numbers, their intentions become clear. The Urus pairs its supercar heart with performance-tuned systems: active rear torque vectoring, 4-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension, hyper-responsive accelerator, and three off-road driving modes (in addition to three for the road). Even its Launch Control is designed to deliver precision under pressure.

The Bentayga, by contrast, centers its experience on composure. With Bentley Dynamic Ride, it scans and adapts to changing conditions to smooth the journey rather than sharpen it. Where the Urus slices through corners and surges across terrain, the Bentayga floats with grace. Both are supremely capable, but one is built for the sprint, the other for the stroll.

Current With Command

Lamborghini and Bentley offer hybrid powertrains—the Lamborghini Urus SE reduces emissions by an impressive 80%—while enhancing torque and control. In its hybridized variant, the Urus retains its 4.0L twin-turbo V8. It integrates a high-output electric motor, becoming the first PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) version of the Super SUV.

Bentley takes a different approach: The Bentayga Hybrid pairs a 3.0L V6 with an electric motor, offering refined efficiency with a more subdued output.

Even as hybrids, their DNA remains intact. One channels electric energy into heightened drama and precision. The other prefers quiet confidence and smooth efficiency. Both evolve—but one electrifies.

Immersion Engineered

Every aspect of the Urus interior reflects its cockpit-inspired “Feel Like a Pilot” design. Even the drive-mode toggles evoke fighter jet controls, creating an inner sanctum engineered to engage, connecting driver and machine almost literally. Dynamic ambient lighting pulses in sync with your heart rate while the panoramic digital display showcases drive modes, telemetry, and engine performance in real time. It’s not just smart—it’s situationally aware.

Step into the Bentayga and lighting sets a different tone: calm, composed, and quietly elegant. The cabin favors tranquility over theater, soothing rather than stimulating. And while its technology is no less sophisticated or advanced, it leans more toward comfort than command. Where the Urus thrives on immediacy and immersion, the Bentayga whispers its luxury, preferring you not be disturbed.

Interface With Intent

Inside the Urus, the driver-centric layout puts every function within deliberate reach. Its intuitive 3-screen configuration—a fully digital instrument cluster and two stacked center displays—responds instantly via haptic feedback or voice command. The experience is immersive and interactive. The Bentayga, on the other hand, leans into refined simplicity. Its 10.9-inch touchscreen is paired with classic rotary controls, an interface that’s efficient though more restrained. It’s designed to inform rather than inspire. More a butler than a copilot.

For audio, the Urus raises the volume on performance with its available 21-speaker, 1,700-watt Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system—a true track-inspired soundtrack for your next presentation, power move, or long-haul escape. The Bentayga offers two premium audio options—Bang & Olufsen and Naim—featuring 16 and 20 speakers, respectively. Both are impressive, but neither quite matches the Urus in output or impact.
