Reorganising the product offering for the Eletre SUV and the Emeya saloon, Lotus has introduced new names and equipment levels for the electric twins. At launch, there had been three variants available: a standard version, an S model, and a range-topping R model. Now, two variants - the 600 and 900-Series - and six equipment levels aim to make understanding the range simpler.

The Eletre arrived first, with a 112kWh battery offering up to 373 miles of range. The Emeya joined the range in 2024 on the same platform, using a 102kWh kWh battery, returning up to 379 miles of WLTP range. An 800v electrical architecture allows peak DC rapid charging inputs of 400kW, and 10-80% charge times as low as 15 minutes. 

The Emeya and Eletre are now split by power levels, with the 600-Series offering 603bhp and 524lb-ft (710Nm) from their dual-motor powertrains. This sends the saloon to 62mph in 4.2 seconds, with the SUV taking 4.5 seconds. As standard, both models come with active air suspension, 20” wheels, brake torque vectoring, aluminium pedals, LED matrix headlights, fabric upholstery, a head-up display, carbon interior trim, and a 15-speaker KEF audio system.

One notch up is the 600 GT, adding highway assist, autonomous parking, enlarged wheels, and 6-piston brakes. The GT SE variants add an electrochromic glass sunroof, hands-free boot opening, multicolour ambient lighting, and illuminated door sills.

600 Sport SE models get the Lotus Dynamic Handling Pack, which adds four-wheel steering, and active anti-roll bars. The Eletre gains an adjustable rear spoiler, while the Emeya also adds an active rear diffuser, and front air dam.

The 900 Series variants deliver 905bhp and 727lb-ft (986Nm), and feature a two-speed transmission which improves energy consumption at higher speeds. The Eletre 900 takes 3.0s to go from 0-62mph, and the Emeya 900 requires just 2.8s. 

Available in Sport and Sport Carbon guises, the most powerful models are only visually differentiated from their less powerful stablemates by black exterior badges. The 900 Sport equipment level includes the Dynamic Handling Package and the active rear wing, while Sport Carbon models add extended carbon fibre trim outside and in, seat heating and ventilation for the front and rear, soft closing doors, and much more.

A range of standalone options such as leather interiors and carbon ceramic brakes with 10-piston callipers can be added to both the Emeya and Eletre. The pair are price-aligned, and start at £84,990, significantly undercutting their key rivals - the Porsche Taycan GTS, and the BMW iX M70. The 900 series begins at £129,990 before options. Order books are open now, with the first examples landing in the summer.
