The Eletre is 4WD, has a battery capacity that's over 100kWh and with power from 600hp. A 350kW charger will deliver a 400km (248 miles) range in just 20 minutes. The car's target maximum WLTP driving range is c.600km (c.373 miles). It also comes with the ability as standard to accept 22kW AC charging which, where available, reduces the time plugged in.

The Eletre is a new icon from Lotus. It is the latest in a long line of Lotus road cars whose name begins with the letter E, and means 'Coming to Life' in some Eastern European languages. It's an appropriate link as the Eletre marks the start of a new chapter in the history of Lotus - the first accessible EV and the first SUV.

The immersive experience with the Lotus Eletre begins before the driver has reached the car. Pressing the button on the key or smartphone app activates a moment of theatre that's unique in the automotive world. The car's exterior lights run through a short sequence, the active front grille 'breathes' and the illuminated flush door handles deploy. The experience is repeated inside the car as the door closes behind the occupant.

A functional masterpiece that pays special attention to detail, the aesthetic Lotus Evija resonates with a sense of peace, calm, and serenity as you make your way inside the cabin.  Flutter through the dihedral doors of the new Lotus Evija and spread your wings as you settle into one of two electronically adjustable front seats.  Standard equipped with automatic climate control and three-point seat-belts, the Lotus Evjia invites you to get comfortable inside a race-ready cabin adorned with both retro and modern amenities.
