The Lamborghini Urus finally debuted this week, and the captaincy in Italy is dubbing it, “The world’s first Super Sport Utility Vehicle.” No matter what buzzwords you use to describe high-performance SUVs though, the segment is absolutely buzzing in 2017. It’s truly astonishing just how many there are, especially when you consider the real world has no practical use for this type of rig. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Bentley, Tesla, Land Rover, Jeep, Porsche, and even Alfa Romeo make fast family-haulers these days, so while the Urus is undoubtedly special, it’s not the unicorn many are making it out to be.
The Urus’ twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 spits out 650 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, allowing the Italian SUV to hit 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. Flat out, Lambo says the $200,000 bombshell will do 190 mph, and those numbers make sports cars like the Porsche 911 Carrera T blush. There are other SUVs and crossovers that can compete with those figures though, and in some cases, they outright smash them. Here are five cars that make the exotic Urus look a little more ordinary.
