Regarding design, the Urus retains most of the design cues found on the concept vehicle unveiled in 2012.

However, Lamborghini has taken the concept's design cues and expanded on them which can be seen in the form of the massive front grille which features large air intakes that along with the front splitter pushes air through the underbody to maximise the SUV's aerodynamic profile.
