Lotus Eletre Review 2024 | Defining What A New-Era Lotus Can Be

The battery-powered Eletre SUV is controversial but Jonathan Crouch drives it and thinks it defines what a new-era Lotus can be.

Lotus describes its Eletre high performance EV crossover as ‘a desirable all-new lifestyle car for our next generation of customers’. It’s very different from anything you’d expect a car from this British brand to be. But the same time, satisfyingly Lotus too.

Should Lotus be building an electric car? Or a full-EV? Well the facts are that if it doesn’t, it won’t survive. And the British brand has spent too much of its seventy year history barely surviving. Time for something different: time for this, the Lotus Eletre.

With this performance SUV, the British brand reinvents itself as an electric performance car maker, in the process leap-frogging rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, both yet to take that final step. Several other uber-fast Lotus EVs are set to follow, including the Evija hypercar. It’s all a far cry from the Lotus of just a few years ago, a cottage British brand hand-building lightweight little sports cars for the few that wanted them. The company’s acquisition by Chinese giant Geely in 2017 changed all that. Now, Lotus is so well funded that its boss Matt Hindle has been poached from Tesla and it has a dedicated Lotus Technology Centre in Coventry ‘for the creation of lifestyle cars’, of which the Eletre was the first.

This is equivalent to Rolls Royce making an economy hatchback with a 4pot diesel.

Good review, but by God would Colin Chapman be turning in his grave… 'Interestingly designed'! Very polite way of saying something else about the looks. Even accepting it's an SUV because they sell as everyday usable cars, the styling is unforgivably incohesive and gawky. Today's Porsche and Jaguar SUVs show how it should be done.
