Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video, a review of the Lotus Eletre electric SUV:The video reviews the new Lotus Eletre, noting how unusual it is for Lotus to make an electric SUV. The Eletre is a big departure from the Lotus norm and represents the brand's next generation. The world may need to accept that Lotus now also makes electric SUVs. The reviewer drives 250 miles to assess if it remains a Lotus despite these changes.
Key points from the review:
- Interior design is well-designed, luxurious, and customizable with loads of functionality
- The car has a large infotainment screen but can be slightly laggy. The technology includes a digital dash, has a Tesla-like display of nearby objects, and has app functionality with pre-loaded games.
- The KEF sound system is very high quality.
- The driving dynamics are enjoyable and sporty; the chassis has good control, and the steering is fantastic.
- The power output, with 905 hp in the Eletre R, is very impressive. It can handle driving at speed.
- Fuel efficiency is measured in range, the reviewer notes the car maintains respectable mileage.
- The electric SUV has many competitors; the reviewer views the BMW iX as one of its closest rivals.
- The reviewer likes the car's styling, especially the front, where the cut-aways and lines are sharp. The back, however, is not as well executed.
- In conclusion, the Eletre is a brilliantly-designed, high-tech electric SUV that retains core Lotus driving characteristics, albeit in a very different package than the company's traditional two-seat sports cars. The reviewer said that he would “genuinely” consider purchasing it.
