The continuous evolution of Lotus into a globally renowned performance car brand has now achieved a major breakthrough.
The innovative Lotus Eletre, an all-electric Hyper-SUV, represents a new era of pure electric SUVs with its impressive and forward-thinking design. Drawing from over 70 years of sports car design and engineering heritage, the Eletre reimagines these core principles and Lotus DNA to cater to a new generation of Lotus enthusiasts seeking a fresh and exciting lifestyle vehicle.
Each Eletre model boasts exceptional dynamics, superior comfort, and the distinctive performance associated with the Lotus brand.
