Overview
- The Eletre X is available to order in Germany with prices starting at €97,000 and a top variant priced around €120,000.
- Lotus fits the SUV with a 70 kWh battery and two electric motors that drive front and rear axles while a 2.0‑litre petrol engine mainly acts as a generator and will directly drive the front wheels above 85 km/h.
- Lotus claims up to 305 kilometres of pure‑electric driving and a 900‑volt electrical architecture that supports up to 436 kW DC charging and a 20–80% charge time of about nine minutes when a sufficiently powerful charger is available.
- The model is offered in two output levels — 405 kW/550 PS and 700 kW/952 PS — with 0–100 km/h times of 4.9 seconds and 3.3 seconds and top speeds capped near manufacturer limits.
- Lotus positions the Eletre X against high‑end PHEVs such as the Porsche Cayenne E‑Hybrid by pairing long electric range, towing capacity up to 2,250 kg, and premium suspension and aerodynamics while its limited dealer network may constrain sales reach.
