From a panoramic sunroof to a flat-bottom steering wheel
The XM Label Red offers a five-seater cabin with dual-tone red and black leather upholstery, bucket-type seats, a large center console, a three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel, and a panoramic sunroof. Each unit also gets a plaque that reads "1 of 500." Urus Perfomante has a blacked-out cabin with five seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel, a center console-mounted armrest, cupholders, and a sunroof.
What about the tech features?
XM Label Red has a head-up display, Harman Kardon surround sound system, auto climate control, ambient lighting, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 14.9-inch infotainment panel. It also gets multiple airbags and an ADAS suite. Urus Perfomante comes with auto climate control, parking sensors, airbags, an ADAS suite, a 21-speaker sound system, and a Lamborghini Infotainment System III with two touchscreen panels.
The Label Red gets a more powerful engine
BMW XM Label Red runs on a 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged, V8 engine linked to an electric motor. The setup develops 748hp/1,000Nm. Transmission duties are taken care of by an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The Urus Performante runs on a 4.0-liter, twin-turbo, V8 mill that puts out a maximum power of 657hp and 850Nm of peak torque. This mill is also mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
Which one is better?
In the US, the BMW XM Label Red is likely to cost around $186,000 (roughly Rs. 1.52 crore), while the Lamborghini Urus Performante is priced at Rs. 4.22 crore in India (ex-showroom). In our opinion, Label Red is a better option as it delivers better looks and a more powerful engine compared to its rival. It also offers a long list of features.
