2024 Lotus Eletre
Starting at $115.000 est
Highs: Eye-catching design, luxury interior, impressive driving range in base and S trims.
Lows: Not as lithe as a Lotus sports car, high-dollar starting price, top-spec R model can't drive as far on a charge
Verdict: The Eletre doesn't quite jibe with Lotus's famed sports cars but offers a performance all its own, requiring a paradigm shift for enthusiast drivers.
Overview
Lotus, the British company best known for making low-volume, lightweight, high-performance sports cars, is diverging from this long-held marketing strategy with a new model that's entirely different from any Lotus that came before it. The new Eletre is a high-performance electric SUV built in China and set to go on sale in the U.S. sometime in 2023. While it is considerably heavier than any other Lotus model due to its large battery pack, the Eletre still delivers strong acceleration thanks to its electric motors, producing at least 603 horsepower. Lotus aims to compete with other electric SUV models including the Audi e-tron and BMW iX, but the Eletre bears more than a passing resemblance to the jaw-dropping Lamborghini Urus.
What's New for 2024?
The Eletre is the company's first SUV and a completely new addition to the Lotus lineup.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 Lotus Eletre is expected to start around $115.000 and go up to $155.000 depending on the trim and options.
Base: $115,000 (est)
S: $135,000 (est)
R: $155,000 (est)
Lotus says it will offer the Eletre in Base, S, and R configurations and the base price will be below $85,000. To maximize range, we'd stick with either the base or S trim, both of which come with a less potent-but still quite powerful-603-hp electric powertrain and an estimated driving range of about 315 miles per charge.
EV Motor, Power, and Performance
The Eletre's base powertrain is a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup making 603 horsepower. After taking a test drive, we think that's enough to launch the Eletre to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. Our first impressions are of a performance SUV that's quick and comfortable, but it isn't as agile as Lotus's sports cars. The top-spec R boasts a whopping 905 horsepower and we estimate a zero-to-60-mph time of only 2.7 seconds. That model is far more dramatic on the road and exhibited unnerving squirms and twitches when we got aggressive with the throttle pedal. When we can test the Eletre on our home turf, we'll update this story with more driving impressions and test results.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
A 109.0-kWh battery pack should provide about 315 miles of driving range in base and S trims. The high-performance Eletre R's range won't be quite as impressive and should be around 260 miles per charge. Once we get an Eletre to test, we'll run it through our real-world 75-mph highway fuel economy-and-driving range test to see what it can do.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe
The EPA has not yet released fuel economy estimates for the Eletre and we haven't had a chance to test the electric SUV for ourselves. When we do, we'll take it on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route and update this story with test results. For more information about the Eletre's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Eletre will be offered as either a four-seater with two individual buckets in the rear or as a five-seater with a three-place rear bench. Its cabin features interesting materials such as microfiber, stitched leather, wool-blend fabric, and milled bronze accents. Altogether, it's a surprisingly upscale experience inside given Lotus's normal stripped-down, lightweight interiors. The sport seats are comfortable for long-haul driving and the switchgear is rendered in aluminum with knurled details that wouldn't look out of place in a Bentley.
Infotainment and Connectivity
A large 15.1-inch touchscreen dominates the dashboard and will run a version of parent company Geely's ECARX infotainment system that's shared with the Smart #1 SUV that's not sold in America. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be standard; a head-up display is available as is an upgraded audio system with 23 speakers and 1500 watts.

You can't compare it with a Tesla, it's on another level, way above even the model S.

Better be on another level when it costs $150000 and made by Chinese Lotus

@user-ol6rd7pl5t Tesla isn't owned by any South African company whereas Lotus is controlled and owned by a Chinese company.

@@JS-qn4dy I’m fine with it being owned or manufactured by China!

Either them or Mexico, so who really cares nowadays 🤷🏾‍♂️.

the Lotus was designed by a real engineer, the Tesla instead looks like a project taken from a nursery's car drawings

[@WhiteWolfos]

Tesla plays it safe, still ahead tech wise. Design wise they mix the lotus nyo with a Lincoln, a Lambo urus, and Tesla X. I like the sporty design but it does sacrifice some range in aerodynamics.

[@borisrenegade9732]

@@WhiteWolfos Comparing a Tesla to this Lotus work of art is an insult to automotive design. Tesla may have even more technology but personally the comparison is pure blasphemy.

Easy to pick on the best ev company on the planet that started this ev revolution But I’d say the Eletre kills every other ev in production. What an amazing looking vehicle. I’m sure it drives great! And I’m sure it cost a bit more than an X…. and likely looking a slightly different buyer..

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So I do like the color, and it does seem have good bill quality, but that’s to be expected today. However, no thank you! If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks, like a duck, it isn’t a Tesla, it’s a crude attempt to copy and paste, and you would think that they would have put the charging port in the proper place, so they would be able to charge this using the NAC connector or the magic dock at a Tesla SuperCharger.

[@black_vader_usa]

Totally agree with you. My choise is Tesla. All these Chinese cars are just copying free Tesla technologies but they can't copy the brand, ecosystem, speed and efficiency for 1 hp, batteries quality and range, operation system. They will never be so cool like a Tesla.

These companies can come out with all the bells and whistles to make an electric car look very appealing to the customer but the charging infrastructure remains unstable 😅

[@himeiloveme]

What? Car charging has only been around for how many years now, 30? Maybe less. It's still a new concept and they didn't start seriously working on charging stations until Tesla made it even better. Tesla super charger started in 2012 about a decade ago, gas powered vehicles has been around since the 1800s and I'm sure it was a shit system back then. In 11 years look how fast chargers and electric cars have come, with our type of technology it'll eventually get better.
