Video Summary
Here is the summary of the video:The Lotus Eletre is reviewed.
This all-electric SUV has a large battery.
It is also a large car, being over five meters long.
There are three versions of the Eletre: the Eletre, Eletre S, and the high-performance Eletre R. The ultimate version outputs 904 horsepower.
The base model costs £90,805 on the road.
The exterior design is similar across models.
Carbon brakes can be optioned on the Eletre R.
The Lotus badge has been upscaled to fit the size of the car.
The front vents open and close for airflow.
The car has flush door handles.
Camera rear view mirrors are an option.
The Eletre boasts a Level 4 autonomous driving system.
Usable range and efficiency are a disappointment. It only achieved 2.16 miles per kWh. Driving smoothly, the range is approximately 220 miles.
One charging session cost the equivalent of 13.7 mpg, with petrol priced at £1.41 per litre.
Interior highlights are very modern.
Lane assist and speed limit warning may need to be deactivated before each drive in the UK, with new cars needing this feature from July 2024 onward.
It steers well and remains connected to the road. The chassis engineers have done good work. It feels like a sorted and sporting SUV.
It is roughly the same horsepower as a Urus but is heavier and half the cost of a base model Urus.
The reviewer states the interior has loads of space for a family car and that it has great appeal.
