6 1, Lotus 's new pure electric SUV model ELETRE will make its debut in China. Yes, another sports car brand has released an SUV model. As one of the world's three largest sports car manufacturers, Lotus has always been known for its innovative aerodynamics and extreme lightweight design. Although the ELETRE launched this time has different power forms, this model still has high performance.
In appearance, ELETRE's body shape is somewhat similar to Lamborghini Urus, and the overall shape is wider and shorter. The new car also inherits Lotus's achievements in aerodynamic design, creating a strong performance style. For example, the active air intake grille on the front face will remain closed when it is necessary to reduce body resistance. The air sucked in when it is opened can dissipate heat for the motor, battery pack and front brake.
comes to the side. The body size is 5103/2019/1630mm and the wheelbase is 3019mm. It has reached the size of a medium and large SUV and is also very close to the size of Urus. The lines of the vehicle are very smooth, the fastback roof makes the body lighter, and the double waistline design highlights the outline of the front and rear fenders, showing a ready-to-go attitude. One of the biggest highlights is its optional 23-inch blade-style wheels, which enhances the overall fighting atmosphere.
The rear of the car is equipped with a split spoiler, which greatly reduces the weight of the car. The actively adjustable rear wing can provide up to 116kg of downforce when opened. Together with the downforce of 54kg on the front axle and 236kg on the rear axle, together It ensures the vehicle's controllability and stability when driving at high speeds.
In the interior part, the new car also adheres to Lotus's philosophy of "do not use unless necessary" and follows a simple design style. The interior of the car is made of suede + genuine leather, supplemented by carbon fiber embellishments. The front row is equipped with three screens, including a slender instrument screen embedded in the center console, a passenger entertainment screen, and a 15.1-inch central control screen. Although there are three screens in the front row, the long screen design does not give a "stacked" feeling, but perfectly integrates technology and beauty.
What’s special is that ELETRE is available in 4/5-seater versions, and the rear row is also equipped with a 9-inch screen. The vehicle’s digital configuration is relatively high.
Lotus has also created a strong intelligent hardware configuration for ELETRE. The new car is equipped with 34 driving assistance sensors, including 4 lidar , 7 ultra-long-viewing 8-megapixel auxiliary driving cameras, and 6 mm Wave radar , 4 2-megapixel surround-view cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars. It can be seen that performance is not the only advantage of ELETRE. Such high technology can bring users a more convenient and comprehensive experience.
Power is also one of the highlights of the new car. ELETRE is equipped with a high-power, high-torque motor code-named EDS2, and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system. The cruising range under WLTP operating conditions can reach 600km, and the official 0-100km/h acceleration only takes 2.95 seconds. Of course, this is also the remarkable result we should see in a Hyper SUV.
is written at the end:
From Maserati the newly launched Grecale to Ferrari the upcoming SUV model Purosangue, more and more luxury brands are beginning to follow the trend and launch SUV models. Lotus has uniquely chosen to build a pure electric supercar SUV. I believe that its appearance will bring great benefits to traditional luxury brand SUVs such as the Cayenne and new energy SUV pioneers such as the Model X. It's quite a shock.
