Video Summary
The review of the electric car revealed the following:- The car is a Lotus Eletre EV.
- It is described as Lotus's first "hyper SUV."
- The price is $150,000 US dollars.
- It has 905 horsepower with a two-speed transmission.
- The car has fast charging and a 304-mile range.
- Hand-built mid-engined lightweight gas-powered sports cars made in Britain differ from this machine-built Chinese SUV.
- Car feels like an AMG when launching due to loss of rear end traction.
- Car has features like a front trunk, extended carbon fiber package, large size, and a curb weight close to 5800 pounds.
- The gauge cluster is found to be easy to see.
- It has four-wheel steering.
- The design takes some from Lotus and some from Urus and Purosangue, thus getting a dentist’s mouth.
- Is a unique blend that might appeal to various sensibilities.
- The air suspension, although a little bouncy in track mode, makes the ride smooth; it's not so stiff, however.
- It has a nicely appointed interior with options like Nappa leather seats; reviewers want to “make love” to it.
- The active anti-roll bar means that it dives well into a corner.
- The design allows for good air movement through parts of the car, including the split spoiler.
- It has a nice rear light pattern.
- The back sensors are easy to use when in reverse.
- Is not capable of one-pedal driving.
- A significant design flaw is the main screen, as it can be overly complicated.
- There's a lidar system for future autonomous driving capacity, and it has self-cleaning features.
- However, the system is not well-programmed.
- Does not have enough of a Lotus vibe.
- It doesn't have good wheel feedback.
- In order to operate the controls on the main display, it is necessary to go into different layers of submenus.
- It is thought to have the best interior of the SUVs on the market.
- Overall, it is described as a competent EV SUV but perhaps "hyper ambitious" in its design and claims, as well as not feeling especially like a classic Lotus.
