New Lotus Eletre and Emeya line-up

Lotus has revamped the line-up for its Eletre hyper-SUV and Emeya hyper-GT, with new ‘600’ and ‘900’ model names reflecting the power output of the new models, and historic GT, GT SE and Sport trim level names return.

As a result, the Lotus Eletre is now available in six trim levels: Eletre 600, 600 GT, 600 GT SE and 600 SPORT SE, as well as 900 SPORT and the Eletre 900 SPORT CARBON as the absolute flagship. The Lotus Emeya follows the same nomenclature.

The Lotus Eletre and Emeya 600 feature a 450 kW (612 hp) all-electric dual-motor powertrain and all-wheel drive as standard. With a 0-62 mph sprint in just 4.15 seconds for the Emeya 600 GT (Eletre 600: 4.5 sec) and a top speed of 155 mph (Eletre: 159 mph) as just some striking examples.

The new Eletre and Emeya ‘900’ feature a 675 kW (918 hp) dual-motor powertrain, providing the Emeya 900 with an acceleration from a standstill to 62 mph in 2.78 seconds (Eletre 900: 2.95 sec) and a top speed of 155 mph (Eletre 900: 159 mph).

The Emeya has a maximum range of 379 miles (WLTP; Eletre: 373 miles) and thanks to 800V battery technology with Advanced Lotus Hyper Charging the Emeya can be charged from 10%-80% in around 14 minutes (under perfect conditions) using a 400kW DC charger (Eletre: 20 minutes from 10-80% at a 350kW DC charger), making them amongst the fastest-charging EVs in the world.

A signature element of the Eletre and Emeya designs is their ‘porosity’ – the aerodynamic principle of air flowing through the vehicle as well as under, over and around it. Porosity was at the heart of the Lotus Evija’s design, is integral to the Emira, and has provided clear inspiration for both the Eletre and Emeya.

Available to order now, the Lotus Eletre and Emeya 600 and 900 will arrive at Lotus retailers this summer. The newly defined trim levels have prices starting at £84.990 for the Eletre 600 and Emeya 600.
