Can a Sports Car Company Make an SUV? / 2024 Lotus Eletre S Review

Опубликовано 28 июля 2023, 17:43

The 2024 Lotus Eletre is going places Lotus has never gone before. This is an all-new luxurious 591HP EV SUV from a company known for making lightweight 2-door sports cars. Starting at £104,500 UK (Pricing for the U.S. is not out yet), the Eletre S is a box of first steps for Lotus. The 105kWh battery pack can propel you 370 miles between charges, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the Dolby Atmos stereo and (should you option them) pseudo-suede seats.

Is the world ready to buy an electric luxury truck from a brand known for anything but? Does the driving experience live up to the spec sheet? Is it still “a Lotus”?

*The Eletre S starts at  £104,500 in the UK. Pricing for the U.S. is not out yet.
** I did not have a spec sheet for this car so I didn’t do a detailed options breakdown.

Lotus provided travel/room/board to Norway and a significant amount of b-roll for this review.
