LOTUS ELETRE (2024) - FULL VISUAL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This visual review of the 2024 Lotus Eletre highlights its significant departure from Lotus's traditional sports car ethos, presenting it as a high-performance electric SUV. The Eletre impresses with its eye-catching design, luxurious interior featuring premium materials, and strong performance figures, especially in the top-tier R model with its 905 horsepower. The base and S trims offer a commendable driving range of approximately 315 miles. However, the review notes that the Eletre lacks the agile handling characteristic of Lotus sports cars and comes with a high starting price. The Eletre R, while incredibly powerful, has a reduced range of around 260 miles and can exhibit unnerving instability when driven aggressively. The verdict suggests a paradigm shift is needed for enthusiast drivers to appreciate this new direction for Lotus.
