LOTUS ELETRE S REVIEW | The Best Luxury EV SUV?

[@clivecato5923]

Side profile. Rear profile. Overall size........are we talking about the same car ? It's MASSIVE ! Nice to see that they have cracked materials quality. Reliability we will discover in time.

OK, I hear you. But, I think the main concern with driving on roads in the UK is width. And I didn’t feel like the Eletre felt wide at all. The length (longer than a Range Rover) is long yes, but the camera’s help with that and it makes for a large boot and brilliant rear leg room.

Great review very well presented and a fabulous car love the colour and as British as roast beef. Miss Lotus in F1 and the genius of Colin Chapman. I wish Lotus all the best. Thanks for a wonderful adventure.

Wow. The screen on the lotus looks like the website. The lotus website is hamds down the best... Miles ahead of Audi Mercedes Porche is second.

It’s absolutely gorgeous car but You say lotus this lotus that . Is only lotus by name that’s just completely Chinese car nothing to do with legacy lotus it’s just a name !

[@karlhurn]

This is such a narrative from the automotive media I’m afraid. How do you know? Were you involved in the project? Would everyone be as vocal if it was mostly designed in Italy, Germany or Sweden? No one seems to have an issue with reinvented Volvo, and that’s Geely too. Think hard about how you formed this opinion.

Built in China. Heavier battery than the original Elise. Crap range of 200 miles, real world. Shove it Lotus. Good review though. Thanks. Defo needs HUD given the letterbox of a display above the wheel. Might buy it in 4 years for 25k, if I had to. Enjoy the cliff edge depreciation anyone?

[@aquissuk]

Nonsense, I'm getting nearly 300 miles in an S atm....the letterbox display is perfect...I don't even have HUD on.

Oh no a colonial power getting jealous at other nations innovation 😅😂

[@Displays.1234.]

For the sort of money you're paying it's not that quick, still missing heads up display.... Or a proper driver's display...

[@karlhurn]

It did have a head up display. Seemed pretty quick to me 👍

[@MAM-x3s]

It’s quick, especially the R version that can do the 0-100km/h in only 2,95sec. The basic version and the S versions does the same in 4,5 sec, which is very quick too, but not impressive. What is impressive is especially the sporty behavior of the car. I have one and believe me it’s a lot of fun.

[@kasparov2312]

@@karlhurn I've heard head up display can make you feel a bit sick. What was your experience?

[@karlhurn]

@@kasparov2312 Not sure as I didn’t have it on during the review. I’ve not heard that though, that’s a new one.

[@kasparov2312]

@@karlhurn am going to test drive one tomorrow so I'll see myself. Some great lease deals on this car at the moment

[@studiohamfar]

It is an ugly car, sorry.

[@karlhurn]

I think the rear is pretty cool with the air ducts and the curved light bar. I like the rear wheel arch haunches and the ‘estate car’ side profile. Is it the front you don’t like?

[@MAM-x3s]

I guess that photos and videos don’t do this car a favor. the car is much more beautiful in person

[@Eradicatorsgaming]

Well.. it's A chinese car ...

[@MAM-x3s]

@@Eradicatorsgaming is that bad? As far as I know Chinese electric cars are the best is the world.

[@aquissuk]

And yet I'm stopped daily and get asked if people can take photos at least weekly....im guessing it's not ugly to everyone
