The rise in popularity of SUVs globally has encouraged exotic car brands such as Ferrari and Lamborghini to launch their versions in the segment. Here is a detailed comparison of the Urus vs Purosanguae comparison to find the ultimate performance SUV among the two.
In 2017, Lamborghini introduced the Urus, which became the top-rated performance SUV. The Urus hit exceptional sales numbers and put Lamborghini in a good position, financially.
Ferrari, looking to replicate Lambo’s success, introduced their performance SUV, the Purosanguae in 2023. After 6 years, Ferrari is finally ready to take on Lamborghini in an all-new segment. Time to find out which brand comes on top, in this exciting and action-packed comparison.
Urus vs Purosangue: Dimensions

| Wheelbase | 3,003mm | 3,018mm |
| Fuel Tank Capacity | 85L | 100L |

The exterior dimensions mentioned above clearly show that Urus has a larger footprint. However, since the wheelbase is nearly the same, we can expect both SUVs to offer the same space on the inside and seat 5 people in comfort. The Urus has a slightly larger boot making it more practical.

A typical display of Ferrari and Lamborghini designs on their respective cars. The bold exterior with bright paint is what the Urus S features. It screams of being a sports SUV and a real head-turner on the streets.
On the other hand, the Purosanguae features subdued styling much like other Ferrari cars. It is made to look like a supercar on stills and not give you the feel of a large SUV. However, the quad-tips and the large wheels add a touch of exotic sportiness to the overall design. The Purosanguae also get suicide doors.

Both super SUVs are equally equipped with the latest toys and features to keep the occupants in comfort. Speaking of comfort, although the seats have a bucket profile, they are supportive for longer journeys.
Another interesting fact is that the Ferrari Purosanguea does not have a central infotainment system. It is replaced by a screen that is dedicated to the co-passenger.
Urus vs Purosangue: Engine & Performance

| 0 to 200km/h | 12.8 seconds | 10.6 seconds |
| Gearbox | 8-speed AT | 8-speed DCT |
| Brakes | Carbon Ceramic | Carbon Ceramic |
And here we go! The Ferrari Purosanguae takes a clear win in terms of performance. This is because of its large naturally-aspirated powerplant. In comparison, the Urus S is powered by a turbocharged engine and is more efficient than the Ferrari.
The difference between the performances is not huge. Additionally, Lamborghini offers a more powerful version of the Urus S called the Urus Performante.
Urus vs Purosangue: Off-Road

| Departure Angle | 23 degrees | – |
| Ground Clearance | 158mm | 163mm |
| Water Wading | – | – |
| Towing Capacity | 3,500KG | – |
From the above specs, It is clear that in their standard forms, both brands do not encourage hard-core off-roading despite having AWD and drive modes. But, if you have the offroad itch can be cured with an optional package offered on the Urus, which improves the ride height, approach and departure angles.
Nothing from Ferrari on this front, yet. In fact, the Purosangue cannot even tow anything as there are no tow hooks.
