Facts
The Eletre's charging architecture supports three-phase AC charging at up to 22 kW in appropriately equipped markets.
Lotus used a mix of lightweight materials in the Eletre, including aluminium and carbon fibre, to control the mass of the large electric SUV.
The Eletre uses deployable LiDAR sensors that retract into the body when not required.
At launch, Lotus targeted an Eletre driving range of around 600 km under the relevant homologation cycle.
Lotus quoted a sub-three-second 0-100 km/h time for the most powerful Eletre.
The most powerful Eletre versions produce about 905 hp, combining supercar-level output with a large SUV body.
The Eletre was designed from the outset as an electric vehicle, without a combustion-engine version in the original model program.
The Eletre is produced at Lotus's new manufacturing facility in China, created for the brand's new-generation vehicles.
The Eletre body uses active aerodynamic elements to help manage drag and downforce.
The Eletre opened a new segment for Lotus as the first production SUV in the brand's history.
