Lotus, the name synonymous with lightweight, agile sports cars, has taken the automotive world by storm with its latest offering: the Eletre. This new electric SUV, a hulking 5.1-meter behemoth, stands in stark contrast to the marque's historical image, leaving many wondering - is this the death knell for the legendary Lotus spirit, or a necessary evolution for survival in a rapidly changing market.
The Eletre undoubtedly represents a bold gamble for Lotus. It's a move calculated to secure the brand's future in a market dominated by SUVs and electromobility. Whether this radical departure will resonate with both loyal fans and a wider audience remains to be seen. Only time will tell if the Eletre can retain the essence of Lotus while embracing the future, or if it marks a sorrowful end to a glorious past.
Beyond its striking aesthetics, the Eletre is a technological powerhouse. Its Chinese heritage has imbued it with a vast array of advanced features, accessible through over-the-air updates. Advanced sensors, including LiDAR, cameras, and microwave detectors, provide unprecedented levels of safety and autonomous driving capabilities. Connectivity, entertainment, and luxury features abound, including a premium KEF Audio stereo system with Dolby surround sound that transforms the cabin into an auditory sanctuary.
Price is around £90,750 - £126,250
