The Eletre begins Lotus’s reinvention as an electric performance vehicle firm offering a breadth of cars, rather than just the sports cars for which it is traditionally known.
The SUV is the first of four EVs set to arrive by 2025 from the Geely-owned British brand.Until now, the Eletre was codenamed Type 132 and the subsequent electric models are currently known as Type 133, Type 134 and Type 135, the last of which is the Lotus Evija hypercar.
The Eletre has almost exactly the same footprint as the Lamborghini Urus, at 5105m long, 2131mm wide and 1630mm tall, but is roomier thanks to its long wheelbase.
It is therefore a large car that caters to demand in China and the US (two crucial markets), although Lotus is also confident of strong uptake in mainland Europe and the UK, targeting a starting price of under £100,000.
