Lotus, the iconic British sports car manufacturer, has officially entered the electric SUV market with its stunning Eletre R—a £120,000 hyper-SUV that promises to redefine performance in the EV segment.
Supercar Performance in an SUV
With a jaw-dropping 905 horsepower and 985 Nm of torque, the Eletre R accelerates from 0-60mph in just 2.95 seconds, making it quicker than a Lamborghini Urus. Its top speed is capped at 165mph, ensuring it lives up to Lotus's reputation for exhilarating driving dynamics.
Cutting-Edge Tech & Luxury
The Eletre R isn’t just about speed—it’s packed with advanced features:
- A 15.1-inch touchscreen with integrated infotainment
- Premium KEF 3D surround sound system
- LIDAR-assisted autonomous driving capabilities
- Luxurious sustainable materials throughout the cabin
Range & Charging
Despite its performance focus, the Eletre R offers a 304-mile range (WLTP). With 350kW ultra-fast charging, it can go from 10% to 80% in just 20 minutes—perfect for long-distance journeys.
How It Stacks Up Against the Competition
The Eletre R enters a competitive market dominated by the Lamborghini Urus and Aston Martin DBX. However, its electric powertrain and track-focused handling set it apart as a unique proposition for performance enthusiasts.
Deliveries are expected to begin later this year, with early adopters already placing orders for this groundbreaking electric hyper-SUV.
