Lotus Eletre is a fully electric luxury SUV built by Lotus. It sits in the high-performance premium SUV segment and uses a five-door body style with a coupe-like profile. Unlike traditional Lotus sports cars, the Eletre focuses on practicality, interior space, and everyday usability while retaining a performance-oriented setup.
The vehicle uses a 112 kWh battery pack. Depending on the variant and wheel configuration, WLTP range reaches roughly 370 miles. Real-world range varies with driving style and conditions. The Eletre runs on an 800-volt architecture and supports DC fast charging up to 350 kW, allowing a 10 to 80 percent charge in about 20 minutes under ideal conditions. AC charging is also supported for home and destination charging.
Pricing places the Lotus Eletre in the upper luxury category, typically in the six-figure range depending on trim and market. It suits buyers seeking an electric SUV with strong acceleration, high-end interior materials, and advanced driver assistance systems. Within the same brand, buyers might also consider the Lotus Emeya or the Lotus Evija. Alternatives include the Tesla Model X and the Porsche Macan Electric. Compared with the Tesla Model X, the Eletre emphasizes chassis dynamics and interior design, while the Model X prioritizes efficiency, software ecosystem, and cabin space.
