Fast Luxury SUVs to Buy if You Can’t Afford a Lamborghini Urus
If you’ve seen Lamborghini’s new super SUV, the Urus, you may find yourself casually scrolling through pictures and trying to imagine what one would look like in your driveway. Starting at a base model price of $200,000, it’s a little hard for most people to stomach what that monthly car payment might look like.
While they may not have the iconic Lamborghini bull emblem on the hood, several other options exist for a fast, luxury sports SUV currently available without the horrendous sticker price.
1. 2019 BMW X6

The sleek coupe style shares body lines similar to the Lamborghini Urus and has a dapper appeal than a box-style SUV. Between various drivetrain options, the BMW X6 has at least 300 hp, enough pep to make driving this 4,600lb SUV a sporty experience.
