Lamborghini Urus Coupe Rendering Is a Unique and Exciting Idea

Over time, the SUV category has grown to become a significant part of the automotive market, with nearly every manufacturer offering their own SUV models. Alongside the standard sport utility vehicles, there is also a subset known as coupe-SUVs, which are less practical but often more stylish versions of existing lifted models. While Lamborghini doesn’t currently have a product in this niche segment, here’s a rendering of what a Urus Coupe could look like.

These three renderings, created by Kolesa.ru, depict a three-door version of the Urus that maintains the overall shape, dimensions, and wheelbase of the original vehicle. Although we may not be huge fans of coupe-SUVs, it’s hard to deny that this rendering is visually appealing, especially when looking at the side profile of the car. Transforming a five-door vehicle into a three-door design has resulted in significantly longer front doors and a more sloped roofline compared to the real-life Urus. Another change from the actual Urus is the addition of hidden door handles, inspired by the Huracan.
