The Lotus Eletre: a High-Performing Electric SUV

The Lotus Eletre R: Shockingly Fast

The Eletre R is more powerful, boasting a 905-horsepower electric motor and a dual-speed transmission. The acceleration of this incredibly powerful electric vehicle is staggering; Lotus estimates a 0-60 mph dash to occur in just 2.9 seconds. Even more impressive, it will deliver a top speed of 165 mph – currently the world’s fastest dual-motor pure electric SUV. Black badging, additional carbon fiber, stainless steel pedals, and gloss black wheels visually set the Eletre R apart from the other versions.

Track Mode, only available on the Eletre R, lowers the ride height of the electric SUV using a more racetrack-ready suspension setup, offering increased adjustability and higher limits of dynamic performance. It also adds an active grille – allowing for cooling and aerodynamic advantages – and a launch control feature, which fully unleashes the power of the Eletre R.

Customize Your Lotus Eletre SUV

The new Lotus Eletre allows for highly personal customization, reflecting the uniqueness of all Lotus products. Five wheel choices, ranging from 20 to 23 inches, will be offered at launch, alongside six different brake caliper colors. Pair them with your favorite of six different available exterior colors.

While there are six different interior options, they all share one thing in common: sustainability. Lotus states that the Eletre is available with a cutting-edge, environmentally friendly leather alternative that offers more longevity than real leather. Lotus made the trunk lining and carpets from 100% recyclable materials.

Advanced Technology Powers The Eletre

As one of the highest-performing Lotus vehicles of all time, it only makes sense to include an impressive host of technology. Utilizing a digital cockpit powered by the newest operating system – Lotus Hyper OS – the new Lotus Eletre can render fully 3D experiences and content, borrowing technology from the video gaming industry. A bold, full-color OLED touchscreen allows for a fully customizable center display, so you can focus on what’s most important.

Not Just a Pretty Face

The Lotus Eletre will also be capable of receiving over-the-air updates. That means the system always remains updated with the latest features and quick patches in the event of software errors. That will likely also benefit the in-car navigation system, including services like EV routing and predictive routing, ensuring every road trip goes smoothly. With an upgradeable LIDAR system said to be included for future autonomous driving applications, the Lotus Eletre is one of the most advanced vehicles ever.
