“India as a market is playing a very interesting role step by step into the overall sales globally. Urus will change the game for Lamborghini in India in terms of volumes and we expect to grow our volumes 2.5-3 times,” Lamborghini General Manager for Asia Pacific Andrea Baldi said.
Stating that India is a strategic market for the company’s further growth, Lamborghini India head Sharad Agarwal said given the preference for SUV cars among Indians, “we believe that Urus is going to be an exciting and important product and will open up a completely new segment of customers
for us in India.”
“Since its global launch on 4th of December at Sant’Agata Bolognese in 2017, the response has been very phenomenal for the Urus. In fact, since we had announced the Urus concept, a lot of customers had been waiting for this car and for us to formally announce that ‘yes, we can accept orders now’. We have got a phenomenal response in India, we are almost sold out of what has been allocated for 2018 and now are accepting orders for early 2019 deliveries,” Agarwal added.
