There's just something about seeing/watching a car tested on local soil. I've seen 3 or so Eletre reviews before (obviously on overseas YT channels) but watching this being tested locally, by our very own presenter & figures interpreted in Rands, Kilometres & Kilowatts as opposed to $/£/€, Miles & horsepower. Lovely stuff. Must have also been nice to meet Newey. That must be one of petrolheads biggest moments. The car looks like nothing else in its segment. Eish, but the Urus or any ICE equivalent has a growling V8/V12. Keep up the good reviews, gents.

It was a pleasure to lend you guys the Eletre R! We hope to give you a few more of the vehicles under our stable in the future😎

Hi there, thank you so much for the opportunity. We loved the Eletre and we very much look forward to testing and filming cars from your stable in the future 🚙🏁🚀

What a car and such an incredible review and shots in the new studio. I'm very happy that you guys facelifted the thumbnail this year, it looks more nice and Ciro looks rad in spectacles, first review with him using spectacles! ☺️💛

I've watched quite a few reviews of the Lotus Eletre and the Lotus Emeya... Lotus is back!!! 🙆🏻‍♂️ I can't even choose between the two cars. 🔥🔥 That Unreal engine responsiveness on the touch infotainment screen is 👌 even the UI is 👌

As a Lotus Eletre owner here in the UK and family who live in the Cape....I honestly wish I could take my car for around signal hill, through Newlands and out down some of the coast roads. Best views ever!

The Lotus Eletre has a RRP range of £90,805 to £126,305 in the UK The Lamborghini Urus has a RRP range of £185,512 to £213,744 in the UK Only in SA does a company like Lotus think they can rip you off and charge the same price as a Urus for this when in the UK they charge almost half. They did the same thing with the EMIRA pricing it much higher in SA compared to the direct competition in the UK. Nice cars and all but no time for a company who just up their prices because they think they can.

@hey_myk 10 ай бұрын

When James from Throttle House said that the Eletre had the best interior in recent times I didn't believe him. But if Ciro said it, it must be true🤷‍♂ But how can it possibly stand up to the Bentayga and it's swiveling showpiece 🤔

We're glad Ciro was the deciding factor 🙂

The Eletre comes off the Polestar 4 platform another great car from the Geely Volvo/Polestar subsidiary so it must be awesome. Great show as usual. Watching from Cozumel Mexico 👍

Absolutely fake news. Polestar is built on Geelys SEA platform, this is built on an all new EPA platform.

this or the Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo. Now, I’m undecided… Edit: Apologies, as I confused this with the Emeya R. I’m now realising that the Taycan isn’t this car’s direct rival.

Great review as usual Ciro👌🏾, but I do not think you compared this vehicle to the Audi E-tron Suv in terms of EV capabilities such as range and pricing in relation to the E-tron and other EV SUV within the SA market, and what about the famous cooler box boot measurement😢. Any particular reason why not mentioning all of the above? My apologies if I might have missed it. Great videos watch it while having a meal most of the times 👌🏾👌🏾 I even influenced my girlfriend to watch it with me😁

The amount of high quality Chinese EVs coming out these few years is just insane. Since there are so many EV companies in China, they are forced to innovate to keep customers, so we keep getting better and better EVs from them.
