2024 Lotus Eletre, world's first hyper electric SUV. Checkout its interior and exterior design, features, technology and other details in this walkaround review, reveal video.
After years of waiting, the Lotus Eletre electric crossover is finally here. According to the brand, the word means "coming to life" in some Eastern European languages. The company intends the model to have the spirit of a traditional sports car from Lotus but with the utility of a crossover.The Eletre rides on Lotus' Electric Premium Architecture platform. The company says that the various trims of the EV have an output starting at 600 horsepower (447 kilowatts) with a motor powering each axle. Acceleration to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) takes less than 3.0 seconds, and the top speed is 161 mph (260 kph). The automaker isn't disclosing the crossover's weight yet.
The automaker only says that the battery capacity is over 100 kilowatt-hours, and this allows for an estimated WLTP range of around 373 miles (600 kilometers). The Eletre charges at up to 350 kilowatts. This allows for getting 248 miles (400 kilometers) of range in 20 minutes.The crossover rides on an air suspension with active ride height adjustment. It also rear-axle steering and active anti-roll bars.
In front, the Eletre adapts the general design elements from the Lotus Emira sports car into the shape of a crossover. Fitting with the current trend, there are split headlights. The running lights are at the leading edge of the hood, and the main lamps are in the lower, blacked-out section of the fascia. The grille has active aerodynamics using interconnecting triangular pieces that open when the motors, battery pack, and brakes require cooling.In terms of tech, the Eletre comes with four deployable lidar sensors. There are two on the roof – one above the windshield and one above the rear glass. Plus, each side of the body has the device near the front fender. In regions where it is allowed, the vehicle uses cameras as the side mirrors.
Lotus claims the Eletre is capable of "end-to-end autonomous driving." The tech supports over-the-air updates for future improvements to the system.Rather than a traditional instrument panel, the area in front of the driver is a thin strip that's less than 1.18 inches (30 millimeters) tall. There's a matching piece on the passenger side that shows different info like the music selection or nearby points of interest. In the center, there's a 15.1-inch landscape-oriented screen that offers all of the necessary information. A head-up display with augmented reality is a standard feature, too.Lotus will build the Eletre at a new factory in Wuhan, China. Deliveries begin in 2023. The first of them go to China, the UK, and Europe.
As is befitting its sports car legacy, Lotus is emphasizing the performance capabilities of its new electric SUV. The Eletre will be able to sprint from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in less than three seconds, with Lotus claiming a spot in the “exclusive ‘Two Second Club’” that also includes the Tesla Model S Plaid (under very specific conditions, mind you).But just because it can tear it up on the track doesn’t mean the Eletre isn’t built like an SUV. With all-wheel drive, the five-door EV will be fairly compact, but it will still pack a lot of power, including a battery capacity that’s over 100kWh, and 600 horsepower."But just because it can tear it up on the track doesn’t mean the Eletre isn’t built like an SUV"Lotus says that a 350kW charger will deliver 400km (248 miles) of range in just 20 minutes. The car’s target maximum WLTP driving range is 600km (373 miles). It also comes with the ability as standard to accept 22kW AC charging, which, where available, reduces the time plugged in.
The Eletre will come with a range of alphabet-soup advanced driver assist features: Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC); Collision Mitigation Support Front (CMSF); Traffic Sign Information (TSI); Door Open Warning (DOW); Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA); Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA); Lane Change Assist (LCA); Children Presence Detection (CPD); Lane Keep Aid with Lane Departure Warning / Prevention (LKA+); Parking Emergency Brake (PEB); Collision Mitigation Support Rear (CMSR); and Emergency Rescue Call (E-Call). Still, the Eletre is likely to require driver supervision at all times.
