No one want a EV SPENDING more time charging than driving and loosing money faster than a drunk in a casino

Might as well give your money away EVs loose money that fast they are worthless after 3 years

It's probably hit the market at the wrong time when many believe they can't afford them with interest rates, the recent decline in EV sales with people believe ICE won't be binned and the marketing hasn't been the best. Too much is made of the Lotus / Colin Chapman link, you don't see MG getting as much stick. But the reality is, with current deals on Eletre, they are half the price to lease than either the new Macan or Taycan. And being honest at this price point most lease rather than buy. Geely are in this for the long term, it will be interesting to see how people think about EV's going forward now that in the UK at least, Labour is back to banning new ICE sales by 2030. As a value proposition vs. the 2025 Taycan / RS Etron GT it is far better value even if dynamically not as good. RE Efficiency, most company car owners won't care because when not charging at home, their company pays for their public charging and there's no TBIK.

18:18 I've always hated the way beamers look, because of that silly "grill" design (like they're trying to give the car nostrils) and that one was no better sadly.

We know in order to survive, you have to circum to the public. If this allows them to make more “genuine “ Lotus’s, then so be it. 2 things I take away from this. 1. Is that actual factory window privacy tint for the rear windows? Or is it just film? If it is actual privacy glass, kudos to Lotus because I have yet to see any other manufacturer do this for a sedan. 👏🏻👍🏻 2. Really admire the driver. 😉😎

How WIDE is that thing? For everyday use, you have to be able to park the car in supermarket & multi storey car parks. The ultimate 4 door car would allow you to do that. This thing is needlessly wide. History will judge Lotus's new EV releases harshly, very harshly. They don't know what they're about anymore.

This video only serves to highlight the beauty of the original Esprit.

All the people in the comments who never bought a light weight lotus and never will buy one "wahh its too heavy", meanwhile those who actually buy cars are queueing up.

Add lightness has vanished, it's not a Lotus in my eye's but worse still, it's an SUV (stupid ugly van) and that is the biggest sin of all. Once you make an SUV you're not a sports car company anymore, you lose all your historic credibility and become just another corporate box maker. Lotus did great with their recent sports cars but this has finished Lotus for me, they've lost all credibility as has Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin etc are finished from the sports car perspective no matter how good a car they make in the future. Harsh, yes but that's my opinion.

Nobody wants this. Colin Chapman would be turning in his grave if he knew what had become of Lotus. Lotus were all about being lightweight and now just another pudgy overwieght SUV. Boring.

Another obnoxious overweight status symbol suv. Shame on Lotus

I've only recently found your channel, and I think it's terrific.

I wish that they could have found a presenter who could annunciate all the letters in her words. (Lazy speech is not the same as an accent)

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DRIVER ❤❤❤

Nice advertisement 😮😢

Very interesting. I love the fact that it was sort of ‘planned’ all along.

it's pronounced "velochi !"

Which EV …

EVs are starting to come through now with terms and conditions that let you know the government can take control of your car. EVs were always about this.

So a show that's - yawningly predictably - largely aimed at affluent/rich elites, fantasists and dreamers.

Odd that the electric 272 mph Aspark Owl doesn't get a mention let alone any prescence at a renowned Festival of Speed. Maybe they refuse to put a Union Jack on the roof...or ain't keen to see the fossil-fuelled military-industrial flag-waving Red Arrows fly-over...yawn. Paul G

PERFECT CAR

None, at least you didn’t call them a car, thank goodness, that’s an insult to engineering

Am i the only one who find it ironic that "electric avenue" has bp plasterer all over the place?

Alpine is pronounced Alpeen...😊

My mate's glorified golf buggy of a Hyundai EV, after just over a years usage, now gets 80 miles to a charge, and is worth a quarter of what he paid for it. 😂

I'll take the Alpine A290.

It's not a cybersteer, it's a cyberster, that last half of the name is from roadster, not road steer. Just a heads up.

Awful presentation, and she can’t even pronounce most of the car names or brands correctly

88% liked it? This is an outrageous lie 👎🏼

14:11 😂 Thank you for actually saying what everyone was thinking. That alone made me like and subscribe! Yes it does look awful!

The UK builds an electric beech buggy 😮 why am i not surprised 🤪🤪🤪

I would love to get the new Renault 5EV or Alpine 5EV... But I feel that Renault are struggling to nail down the prices. There is so much in the marketplace in the £30ks and so little in the £20k-£30k range.

CAN SOME BODY TELL ME WHEN THE GOODWOOD MOTOR SHOW IS PLEASE 😢 ??

The union jack flag was just for Goodwood

A lot of Chinese brands, Chinese owned brands. Most EV parts and batteries are from China.

Is the answer the Lotus because it crashed ten yards off the start line?

MG Cyber Steer? Is that a robot cow or something? 😂😂😂

Well done Renault for making the reborn 5 look like an actual Renault 5! Take note Mr Ford.

I have seen a comment about "supporting the channel".... Totally happy to do that, as soon as realistic prices are talked about. Mass market affordability is where it needs to be not rich ponce limited run cars! Even, supporting and showing where the nearly new bargains are.?

Sorry but STARTING an EV at £32,000 and saying "for that money you can't go wrong!" is utter nonsense... That is not AFFORDABLE as a starting price. The Dacia Spring at £14,995 is the real starting price and more manufacturers need to get a model down to that price as a starter.

Yeah really nice review...subscribed.

The French guy was either pissed or half asleep. Omg I had to speed over that voice

I really like your honest presentation…..Until next time …..Alex🇬🇷

Nearly 7k views, under 500 subscribers and hardly any likes. Come on people try help the channel a bit ✌️

Why do we need so much a 7 seaters. For decades the birth figures are going down and there are not many families with 3x children.

It is funny how you refer to the British flag on the R5 as a Fauxpas, but you do pronounce the very, very French brand Alpine as if it was a British mountain sport…😂

Sorry can't stand the background noise
