Eletre is the first in a new breed of performance SUVs from Lotus. It blends Lotus’ design DNA and expertise in advanced active aerodynamics, with the latest technologies – offering a car that is both fun to drive, versatile and practical for everyday use.
Eletre is available in seven colors including Kaimu Grey, Stellar Black, Akoya White, Solar Yellow, Blossom Grey, Red, and Galloway Green. It will be offered in two variants in North America including Eletre and Eletre R.

Eletre provides drivers with the confidence to go anywhere with its hyper-fast charging. It can reach a range of up to 250 miles in just 20 minutes and a maximum range of 354 miles with a 350kW-DC fast charger.
It is one of the most powerful SUVs in the world, with rapid acceleration (0-100km/h) in under three seconds. The Eletre R variant features 905hp and 727lb ft (985Nm) of torque, which covers the benchmark (0-100kmh) sprint in just 2.95 seconds and can reach 165mph (265km/h).
Eletre features up to six driving modes including Tour, Range, Sport, Off-Road, Individual, and Track. All cars are fitted with powerful 414mm steel brakes clamped by 6-piston calipers as a standard, and on the Eletre R model, an even larger 10-piston 420mm carbon ceramic option is available. These provide drivers with Lotus’ signature dynamic handling capabilities, as well as a car that is ultrapowerful and pragmatic for day-to-day.
It includes an expansive and practical cabin that has plenty of head and leg room in both the front and rear seats, as well as foldable seats including the middle seat at the back of the car, which can be lowered down to become an armrest with two deployable cupholders. It also has enough storage for all driver’s needs with a rear boot capacity of up to 54.1 cu (1,532 litres).
Eletre has been designed with a range of sustainable materials including Econyl, Alcantara, and Re-Fiber, which are key touchpoints in the Eletre and offer a modern and sleek interior that makes every entrance and journey feel luxurious.
It features the latest cutting-edge technologies including two NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips, as well as 34 sensors – 12 camera, 18 radar and 4 lidar. With over-the-air updates, Lotus is ensuring drivers get the best possible driving experience by continually improving the vehicle over its lifetime.
With seven configurable screens including a 15.1-inch OLED touchscreen display, Eletre offers a world class infotainment system that is seamless and lag-free, powered by Lotus’ award-winning HyperOS.
Lotus is the first automotive brand to incorporate KEF’s unique Uni-Q speaker design and Uni-Core subwoofer enclosure in its in-car audio systems, providing an immersive, full bodied audio experience, as if sitting in the middle of a recording studio. Every occupant can enjoy the same detailed, natural sound no matter where they are sat.
