According to Lamborghini, the Urus SUV has significantly impacted the brand’s sales, with volumes becoming double in 2019. Recently the Italian automaker had also announced record sales in the first-half of 2021, with 4,852 units being delivered – a 37% surge over 2020 and a 6.6% increase over the same period in 2019.
