Cricketer Hardik Pandya Buys New Lamborghini Urus SE, Spotted Driving SUV (Video)
Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya is an avid car enthusiast. Over the years, we have seen him with several interesting cars and SUVs. He has now added a brand-new Lamborghini Urus SE to the collection. A video has now surfaced on CS 12 Vlogs YouTube channel, showing him driving the SUV through the streets of Mumbai.
Pandya has chosen a striking shade of Yellow (likely Giallo Auge) for his Lamborghini SUV. In the clip, we see the SUV moving at a slow speed through a two-lane road. We get to see the front, side, and rear views of the vehicle. It seems to be riding on 21-inch Asterope wheels. The Urus SE has an ex-showroom price of Rs 4.57 crores before options.
More About The SUV
Lamborghini launched the Urus SE in India in August 2024. It is the carmaker’s first plug-in hybrid SUV and came with several styling tweaks (both in the exterior and interior) and feature additions. The biggest highlight, however, is the more powerful plug-in hybrid V8 engine.
The 4.0-litre turbocharged V8 now comes with a 25.9kWh lithium-ion battery-based plug-in hybrid system. This setup makes 800 hp and 950 Nm, with 620 hp and 800 Nm coming from the engine alone. The transmission on offer is an 8-speed automatic unit. The electric motor, in fact, sits inside the gearbox, just like how it does on the Revuelto. The hybrid SUV claims an electric-only range of 60km.
The SUV does the 0-100 kph sprint in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 312kph. Lamborghini has also given it multiple drive and terrain modes. Road, track or terrain- the Urus SE is claimed to handle it all well. It is also equipped with air suspension, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, revised electronics, and 48V anti-roll bars.
On the design front, the Urus SE is very similar to the previous model. The silhouette and most of its design details remain identical. It, however, has a long, menacing bonnet design. It also gets slimmer LED Matrix headlamps, a reworked front bumper, and a better-looking grille. At the rear, there is a new spoiler and a tweaked tailgate design. The LED tail lamps have also been tweaked. The number plate now sits on the rear bumper, and the diffuser is larger than before.
Inside, the Urus SE comes with a reworked dashboard, better-looking AC vents, and better seats. It also gets a new 12.3-inch central touchscreen (the previous model had a 10.1-inch unit) and Lamborghini’s newest infotainment engine.
The latest addition to his garage shows Pandya’s love for fast, V8 SUVs. He also owns a G63 AMG and a Range Rover Sport SV. Last year, he also bought a Lexus LM 350h luxury MPV, which costs over 3 Crore rupees.
This Is Not His First Lamborghini
The Urus SE is not the first Lamborghini that we have seen the cricketer with. Soon after purchasing the G Wagen in 2019, Pandya added a brand-new Lamborghini Huracan EVO (finished in Arancio Argos) to his garage. Back then, the Huracan had its ex-showroom prices in the range of Rs. 3.56-4.41 crores, and was available in several variants.
Powering the Huracan EVO was a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 petrol engine, which had an output of 571 bhp and 560 Nm. Together with the 7-speed automatic gearbox, this engine could make the car sprint to 100 kph from a standstill in just 3.2 seconds. The EVO has a top speed of 325 kmph.
Always Chooses Colours That Stand Out
Pandya has always made it a point to stay unique with the colours he chooses for his vehicles. From the Yellow and Orange shades of his Lambos to the Satin Red shade of his Range Rover Sport SV, he has made sure that his vehicles command attention. The SV originally had Santorini Black paint and was later given the Satin Red wrap.
