## Verdict

- **Best value year**: 2020
- **Ideal trim**: Urus (High Spec)
- **Target mileage**: 15,000–30,000 miles
- **Max previous owners**: 2
- **Target price**: £155,000

## Why this model

If you're looking for an SUV that combines supercar performance with genuine practicality and undeniable road presence, the Lamborghini Urus is a fantastic choice. It's incredibly fast, handles surprisingly well for its size, and offers a luxurious, high-tech interior. It also holds its value remarkably well for a car in this segment, making it a relatively 'safe' investment in the ultra-luxury market.

## What you should pay

The Urus holds its value better than many high-end luxury cars. While the initial depreciation from new is significant, it slows down considerably after the first few years. For a 2020 model, you're looking at a price point that has already absorbed the steepest part of the depreciation curve, offering a better entry point into ownership. Prices can vary significantly based on mileage, optional extras, and condition.

## Which trim to buy

While the standard Urus is already incredibly well-equipped, many buyers opted for significant upgrades. The 'High Spec' models, often featuring larger wheels (22-23 inch), advanced driver assistance systems, premium sound systems (like Bang & Olufsen), and carbon ceramic brakes, offer the best blend of luxury, performance, and desirability on the used market. They command a slight premium but often represent better value for money given the original cost of these options.

## What to check before you buy

- Rapid tyre wear due to performance and weight
- High brake wear, especially with carbon ceramic options
- Occasional electronic glitches with the complex infotainment system
- Air suspension components can be expensive to repair if issues arise

## Running costs

Running a Urus is expensive, as you'd expect. Fuel costs will be high, averaging around 38p per mile at current petrol prices, meaning about £3,800 for 10,000 miles a year. Road tax (VED) is £585 annually. Insurance is a major factor, likely ranging from £4,000 to £8,000+ per year depending on your profile. Servicing at a main dealer will be £1,500-£3,000+ annually, and don't forget the cost of replacing those huge, performance-oriented tyres, which can be £1,500-£2,500 a set and wear quickly.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Petrol
- **Horsepower**: 650 hp
- **Mpg**: 18-22 MPG (combined)
- **Reliability Score**: Generally good for a high-performance SUV, but expect complex electronics and high wear on consumables.
- **Safety Rating**: Not rated by Euro NCAP

## Depreciation forecast

| Year | Estimated value | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | £150,000 | 0% |
| 2027 | £140,000 | 6.7% |
| 2028 | £130,000 | 13.3% |
| 2029 | £120,000 | 20% |
| 2030 | £110,000 | 26.7% |

The Urus has already taken its biggest depreciation hit in its first few years. Buying a 2020 model in 2026 means you're entering the market when the depreciation curve has flattened significantly. While it will still lose value, the percentage loss year-on-year will be much less dramatic than buying new, making it a 'sweet spot' for retaining value.

Total value lost since new: 26.7%.
