Lotus Emeya 600

Overview

Meet the 2025 Lotus Emeya 600, the legendary British brand's stunning first shot at a four-door "hyper-GT." This all-electric sedan is here to challenge the likes of the Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air, blending exotic looks with blistering performance. The 600 trim serves as the brilliant all-rounder of the lineup, offering a thrilling driving experience and impressive tech without needing the top-tier 'R' model's extreme power. While official US pricing is pending, expect it to land in the premium electric space, starting well over the $100,000 mark.

What's New for 2025?

Everything! The 2025 Emeya is an entirely new chapter for Lotus, marking its grand entrance into the high-performance electric sedan market. As an inaugural model, it brings a fresh design language and cutting-edge technology first seen on its Eletre SUV sibling, now packaged into a sleek, low-slung fastback silhouette. It establishes a new benchmark for the brand, combining its historic focus on handling and driver engagement with a state-of-the-art 800-volt electric architecture and a seriously luxurious, tech-forward cabin designed to take the fight directly to established German rivals.

Design & Exterior

The Emeya 600 looks like it’s slicing through the air even when parked. Its design is pure aerodynamic aggression, featuring active grille shutters, a deployable front splitter, and a massive active rear wing for ultimate stability. This liftback sedan boasts a commanding presence, measuring a substantial 202.3 inches long, 78.9 inches wide, and a low 57.6 inches tall. The 600 trim maintains a clean, purposeful aesthetic with sleek lines and a sophisticated stance that perfectly communicates its dual nature as both a luxury GT and a proper performance machine.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the Emeya 600’s cabin is a tech-fest wrapped in sustainable luxury. The driver-focused cockpit features a stunning 15.1-inch central OLED screen, a slim digital driver display, and even a screen for the front passenger. Materials are top-notch, with recycled fibers, Alcantara, and Nappa leather creating a premium environment for five occupants. Practicality isn't forgotten, either. You get a generous 18 cubic feet of trunk space, and for smaller items or charging cables, there's a handy 1.6 cubic-foot frunk under the hood, making it a surprisingly usable daily driver.

Performance & Driving Experience

The Emeya 600 delivers the performance punch you’d expect from a Lotus. Its dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain, featuring Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors on both axles, unleashes a combined 603 horsepower and 524 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough to launch this GT from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 4.0 seconds flat, on its way to a top speed of 155 mph. Paired with an advanced air suspension system, the Emeya promises to deliver that signature Lotus agility and feedback while still providing a comfortable ride for long-distance cruising.

Range, Battery & Charging

Powered by a 100 kWh usable battery pack, the Emeya 600 delivers a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 301 miles, with an impressive efficiency of 3.01 mi/kWh. Thanks to its cutting-edge 800V architecture, charging is mind-blowingly fast. It can accept a maximum DC fast-charge rate of 350 kW, allowing it to juice up from 10-80% in as little as 18 minutes. For home charging, it boasts a standard 22 kW AC on-board charger. In the US, it will arrive with a CCS Type 1 port, with NACS compatibility likely to follow.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

As a brand-new model, the Lotus Emeya has not yet been rated by the NHTSA or IIHS. However, it comes loaded with a comprehensive suite of modern safety and driver-assistance systems. Standard features are expected to include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a full 360-degree camera system. The car is also equipped with a deployable Lidar sensor, a forward-thinking feature that future-proofs the Emeya for more advanced levels of driving autonomy as the technology becomes available and approved for use.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

While official US warranty details are forthcoming, coverage for the Emeya is expected to be competitive within the luxury EV segment. Look for a basic limited vehicle warranty around 4 years or 50,000 miles. The crucial high-voltage battery and electric drive components will likely be covered by an industry-standard 8-year/100,000-mile warranty, which typically includes a guarantee against significant degradation. Details on complimentary maintenance plans for the US market will be announced closer to the vehicle's official launch, but Lotus aims to provide a premium ownership experience.
