LSM Group recently announced<\/a> <\/strong>that you can expect to pay around R3.5 million for Lamborghini’s luxury Urus SUV in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Urus has a 650-horsepower (478 kW), 4.0 litre V8 twin-turbo engine and gets 850 Nm of torque from a 4WD, eight-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

It can hit 62 mph (100km\/h) in 3.6 seconds and will continue accelerating all the way to 190 mph (305 km\/h). The standard model has 21-inch rims and comes with adaptive air suspension and carbon ceramic brakes, as well as active roll stabilisation.<\/p>\n

It will be sold in two dealerships in Johannesburg and in Cape Town, while a third dealership in Durban is in the planning stages.<\/p>\n

In addition to its impressive specifications, the Urus’ price-tag also make it one of the most expensive SUVs currently available on the South African market.<\/p>\n

Below BusinessTech looked at some of the other luxury SUVs that are readily available to South African motorists, and how they stack up.<\/p>\n
