Overview of the Lamborghini Urus SE
This is about as close to a brand new Lamborghini Urus as the Japanese auction system will ever offer. Registered in March 2026 and showing just 951 km (approximately 591 miles) on the digital cluster, this Urus SE has covered barely any distance since it left the Sant'Agata production line and was first registered by an official Lamborghini dealer in Japan. The auction sheet records a chassis code of 7LA-ZL40, a 4.0 litre V8 petrol and electric hybrid powertrain, full time 4WD and automatic transmission, finished in white over a tan leather cabin with carbon fibre interior trim. USS Kyushu has graded the exterior S, the highest classification the house uses, with an interior sub grade of A, and the damage diagram carries no marks at all. For a car of this value and rarity on the used market, that combination of grading and mileage is exceptional, and it is the kind of listing that rarely appears outside a handful of specialist auctions each year. The lot comes from Lamborghini's official dealer import channel in Japan rather than a grey import, which is recorded on the sheet as 輸入区分：ディーラー, meaning the car was brought in and first sold through Lamborghini's own Japanese network.
The Urus SE is the plug in hybrid evolution of Lamborghini's super SUV, combining the familiar twin turbocharged V8 with an electric motor for a notable step up in both performance and efficiency over the original Urus. This particular example carries a long list of factory options that collectors and enthusiasts specifically seek out, including 23 inch alloy wheels, a panoramic roof, the Style Package, red brake calipers, the Big Carbon interior package, an advanced 3D Bang & Olufsen sound system, Ad Personam special leather seats, seat ventilation and massage function, power seats, a heated Corsa Tex steering wheel and the ambient lighting package. This is a heavily specified car rather than a standard order, and the configuration is clearly visible in the photographs, from the carbon fibre dashboard trim to the tan leather upholstery with contrast stitching.
The Drive Review
The Lamborghini Urus occupies a strange and brilliant corner of the market, a genuine five seat SUV built on a platform shared with other Volkswagen Group products, yet engineered and tuned to feel unmistakably Lamborghini from the moment you start it. The original Urus used a 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 producing in the region of 650 PS, and the newer Urus SE adds a plug in hybrid system that pairs the V8 with an electric motor integrated into the eight speed automatic transmission, lifting combined output well beyond 800 PS while also allowing a limited pure electric range for town driving. The result is a vehicle that can genuinely be driven gently and quietly around a city on electric power alone, then unleash supercar level acceleration the instant the V8 wakes up.
Closest match first, by version, age, mileage and auction grade. Hammer prices at Japanese auctions, before fees, shipping and taxes. These are auction results, not cars sold by us.
On the move the Urus SE is defined by its contradictions. It is a two and a half tonne SUV that will out accelerate most sports cars to 100 km/h, yet thanks to active anti roll control, rear wheel steering and air suspension it corners with a flatness and precision that belies its height and weight. The steering is quick and heavily weighted in Corsa mode, lighter and more relaxed in Strada, and the car offers a genuine spread of character across its drive modes, something few SUVs in this class manage convincingly. The V8 soundtrack, enhanced through an active exhaust, remains one of the most theatrical in the segment, cracking and popping on lift off in the sportier settings. Where the Urus SE differs most from the standard car is in everyday usability, the hybrid system smooths out low speed driving, adds a useful burst of torque fill from the electric motor, and brings official efficiency figures down considerably, while the brakes benefit from the extra regenerative stopping power when needed.
Weaknesses to be aware of with this generation include the complexity of the hybrid system itself, which brings additional high voltage components, a larger battery pack and more software compared with the standard V8 only Urus, so specialist servicing knowledge matters. The size and weight of the car also means tyre and brake wear can be heavy if driven enthusiastically, and like any modern Lamborghini, routine servicing costs are significant. None of this makes the car less desirable, it simply means a buyer should go in with open eyes about running costs matching the performance.
Auction Details
This Lamborghini Urus SE was offered through USS Kyushu, one of Japan's established regional auction houses, under lot number 60043, with the auction held on 3rd October 2026 in Japan. The auction start price is listed at ¥33,000,000. No Autoselecta guide bidding range has been set for this particular car, so bidders should refer to the live price panel on this page for current estimated landed cost calculations rather than relying on a fixed figure in this report. For context only, and not as a guarantee of outcome, two broadly similar Urus examples sold at Japanese auction recently for prices ranging between £158,081 and £172,382, though that range covers different specifications and condition grades and should not be read as a prediction for this specific car. All bids must be submitted before 9PM UK time the evening before auction.
Manufacturer Lamborghini, model Urus, grade SE, chassis code 7LA-ZL40, frame number ZPBED5ZL3TLA43084, model year 2026, first registration March 2026. Engine 4.0 litre V8 petrol with electric hybrid assistance, drive 4WD, transmission automatic, steering right hand drive. Exterior colour white, listed on the sheet as the car's original factory colour with no confirmed colour change. Interior colour not specified on the sheet, though the photographs show a tan leather cabin with carbon fibre trim. Mileage at the time of auction inspection was 951 km, approximately 591 miles. Body style five door SUV, seating for five. Dimensions are recorded as 512 cm long, 202 cm wide and 164 cm high. The vehicle's shaken inspection is valid until March 2029. Registration plate recorded on the sheet as Sasebo 309 to 7777.
Factory Features and Equipment
The sales points section of the auction sheet lists a strong specification for this example. It is fitted with 23 inch alloy wheels, a panoramic roof, the Style Package, red brake calipers, the Big Carbon interior package, an advanced 3D Bang & Olufsen sound system, Ad Personam special leather seats, seat ventilation and massage function, power seats, a heated Corsa Tex steering wheel and the ambient lighting package. The points to note section additionally lists a TV tuner, a hands free tailgate and a Lamborghini EYE 2.0 dash camera recording both front and rear. Automatic air conditioning, recorded as AAC on the sheet, is also fitted. The equipment check box used by Japanese auction houses to mark items such as sunroof, alloy wheels, power steering, power windows, leather, TV, navigation and airbags could not be read with confidence from the sheet provided, as no item was clearly distinguishable from the others, so this should be treated as unconfirmed rather than assumed either present or absent beyond what is separately listed above.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
This section has been translated and checked by Autoselecta from the original Japanese auction sheet. The sheet identifies the lot as being in the imported car section, lot number 60043. Engine size is recorded as 4000 cc, chassis code 7LA-ZL40. The auction grade is S with an interior sub grade of A. First registration is recorded as March of Reiwa 8, which corresponds to March 2026. The model name is given as Lamborghini Urus, body shape five door, grade SE, drive 4WD. The shaken inspection is valid until March of Reiwa 11, corresponding to March 2029. Transmission is listed as automatic, and the odometer reading is recorded as 951 km. Air conditioning is listed as AAC, automatic air conditioning. The exterior colour box records the original factory colour as white, with an arrow in the colour change section that most likely indicates no colour change has taken place, though this is not stated with certainty on the sheet. The colour code box and interior colour box are both left blank by the inspector. Fuel is recorded as petrol and electric, confirming the hybrid powertrain. A new car service book with an accompanying warranty booklet is marked as present. The car is recorded as a 2026 model year imported through an official dealer import channel. Steering is right hand drive. The recycling deposit is recorded at 18,570 yen. Seating capacity is five. The registration plate is recorded as Sasebo 309 to 7777 and the frame number as ZPBED5ZL3TLA43084. Dimensions are given as 512 cm long, 202 cm wide and 164 cm high.
Importantly, the points to note section states that the owner's manual, warranty booklet and spare key will be sent on later, recorded as 後送 on the sheet, meaning these items were not physically present with the car at the time of auction inspection and are expected to follow separately. There is additional text near the bottom of the sheet that appears to read first preference, imported car, though this is only partly legible and its exact meaning is not certain. The very bottom edge of the sheet is cut off in the copy provided and could not be read, so any further inspector notes in that area cannot be confirmed.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The vehicle diagram on the auction sheet carries no markings of any kind, no scratches, dents, dimples, rust, corrosion, repaint marks, replaced panels or glass cracks have been noted anywhere on the body outline. For a car with 951 km on the clock, this is entirely consistent with a vehicle that has barely left the hands of its first owner and dealer. The exterior grade of S awarded by USS Kyushu is the auction house's top classification, reserved for cars in effectively as new condition. Nothing in the photographs supplied contradicts this, the white paintwork appears clean and glossy across the bonnet, doors, sills and rear hatch, the black alloy wheels and red brake calipers are free of visible kerbing or damage, and the panel gaps and shut lines appear even and factory correct. Overall this car should be considered in showroom condition rather than usable enthusiast condition or restoration basis, it is as close to new as a used Urus is likely to be found at auction.
Interior Condition
The cabin is finished in tan leather with contrasting stitching and extensive carbon fibre trim across the dashboard, centre console and door cards, consistent with the Big Carbon interior package and Ad Personam special leather seats listed among the sales points. The photographs show the steering wheel, digital instrument cluster, centre touchscreen and lower console switchgear all appearing unmarked and free of wear, as would be expected at under 1,000 km. The seats show no visible creasing, scuffing or discolouration in the images provided. The interior sub grade awarded by the auction house is A, one step below the top interior classification but still a strong rating, and nothing in the photographs suggests any contradiction of this. The digital odometer display visible in the dashboard photograph shows a reading in the low 900s km range, consistent with the 951 km recorded on the auction sheet. As noted in the translation above, the owner's manual, warranty booklet and spare key are not confirmed as present with the car at the time of auction, having been marked for later dispatch.
Japanese Auction Grades
Japanese auction houses use a standardised grading scale to describe condition at a glance, and understanding it is essential when buying unseen. Exterior grades generally run from 6, representing a brand new or as new car, down through 5, 4.5, 4 and lower figures for progressively more worn or damaged examples, with S sometimes used by certain auction houses, including USS, to denote a very low mileage, virtually unused vehicle that sits above the usual numbered scale, which is exactly the classification applied here. Interior grades are given separately on a letter scale, with A representing a very clean, barely used interior, B representing normal wear consistent with age and mileage, and C and below indicating more significant wear, odour, staining or damage. This car's S exterior and A interior grading, combined with an undamaged diagram and 951 km on the odometer, places it at the very top end of what the Japanese auction system is capable of offering for a used vehicle of this type.
The Lamborghini Urus was launched in 2018 as the brand's first SUV since the Cold War era LM002, built on the same platform architecture shared with other Volkswagen Group SUVs, though heavily reworked mechanically and visually to carry Lamborghini's design language and driving character. The original Urus used a 4.0 litre twin turbocharged V8 and quickly became the best selling model in Lamborghini's history, introducing a new generation of buyers to the brand through a genuinely usable, all weather, all season supercar alternative. The Urus S followed as a mild update with more power, and the Urus SE, the version represented by this 2026 example, introduced a plug in hybrid powertrain combining the V8 with an electric motor, marking Lamborghini's first series production hybrid model and a significant step in the brand's electrification strategy ahead of its next generation of hybrid and electric vehicles.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The Urus occupies a genuinely unusual place in Lamborghini's history, as the car that transformed the company's sales volumes and financial stability while still being built with the engineering ambition of a sports car manufacturer. Early Urus examples are already being sought out by collectors who want the car that started this chapter, and the hybrid Urus SE represents a clear technological turning point, being the first Lamborghini production model to combine a combustion engine with plug in electrification. Low mileage, heavily optioned examples like this one, finished in a clean colour combination with a strong specification of carbon, Bang & Olufsen audio and Ad Personam leather, are increasingly difficult to source from Japan as original dealer registered cars, since most Urus examples on the world market have already accumulated meaningful mileage and years of ownership history. A near as new example with a single digit thousand kilometre reading, full factory options and a clean S grade auction sheet is the kind of car that becomes harder to replace with each year that passes, regardless of how the wider market for performance SUVs develops.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
Buyers considering any Urus SE should pay close attention to the condition and service history of the hybrid battery and its associated cooling and electrical systems, since this is new technology for Lamborghini and specialist diagnostic equipment is required for proper inspection. Tyre wear should always be checked carefully given the car's weight and performance potential, as should the condition of the carbon ceramic or steel brake discs depending on specification. Air suspension components and the active anti roll system are worth having inspected by a specialist on any used example, as these are complex and costly to repair if neglected. On a car of this age and mileage, none of these concerns are likely to be material, but they remain relevant knowledge for anyone researching the model more broadly. Buyers should also always confirm which documents, keys and accessories travel with any specific car, since on this particular example the auction sheet notes the owner's manual, warranty booklet and spare key as being sent on separately rather than included with the vehicle at the point of sale.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan's dealer network and auction system mean that exceptionally low mileage, well optioned cars like this Urus SE often surface for sale years before equivalent condition examples would typically appear in other markets, since Japanese owners and dealers frequently move cars on quickly and the auction infrastructure provides a transparent, independently graded route to market. Buying through the Japanese auction system also gives access to a detailed, independently prepared condition report before bidding, rather than relying solely on dealer description or photographs taken for a private sale listing. For a car as specialised and valuable as this Urus SE, the ability to see an inspector's grading and damage diagram before committing to bid is a significant advantage over buying blind in other markets.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
Importing a car from Japan involves several distinct stages, beginning with bidding at auction through a trusted agent, followed by payment and deregistration of the vehicle in Japan, export preparation and shipping to the destination port, and finally customs clearance, duty and tax payment and compliance with the destination country's import, registration and roadworthiness requirements. Rules vary significantly between countries, and buyers should always check their own country's specific import age requirements, emissions standards, left or right hand drive regulations and any local registration procedures before bidding, since these requirements differ widely around the world and are the buyer's responsibility to confirm.
Autoselecta provides direct access to Japan's major auction houses, including USS Kyushu where this Urus SE is listed, giving buyers worldwide the ability to bid on cars that would otherwise be invisible outside Japan's domestic trade network. Every auction sheet is translated and checked by Autoselecta staff rather than relying on automated translation alone, ensuring nothing important is missed or misunderstood. The team assists with bidding strategy, vehicle sourcing, export documentation, international shipping and import support in the buyer's own country, with vehicle tracking provided where available so buyers can follow their car's progress from the Japanese auction hall through to arrival. Communication is maintained throughout the process, from the moment a bid is placed until the vehicle is delivered, and the team can discuss the realistic condition and specification of any car, including this Urus SE, before a bidding decision is made.

Auction Caution
Auction cars such as this Lamborghini Urus SE are inspected before sale, but they remain used vehicles sold through an independent auction process, and the auction sheet and grading system should be treated as a condition guide rather than a mechanical warranty. Even a car graded S with no marks on the damage diagram, such as this one, should be viewed with the understanding that auction inspections are visual and do not constitute a full mechanical check, and that older or more complex performance vehicles can require servicing, maintenance or minor refurbishment after purchase regardless of their grading. In this specific case, the auction sheet notes that the owner's manual, warranty booklet and spare key are listed as being sent on later rather than included with the car at the point of auction, and the equipment check box could not be read with full confidence from the copy provided, so buyers should confirm these points before bidding.
