Orders now being taken for EV
hyper-SUV starting at $107,000

(April 22, 2024) PLYMOUTH, Mich. —  Lotus has announced the pricing of its electric hyper-SUV Eletre in North America. Customers are invited to customize their vehicle and can place an order now, and can expect to receive their cars beginning in Q4 this year.  Eletre is the first in a new breed of performance SUVs from Lotus. It blends Lotus’ design DNA and expertise in advanced active aerodynamics, with the latest technologies — offering a car that is both fun to drive, versatile and practical for everyday use.

The Eletre starts at $107,000 in the U.S. and $126,800 in Canada. The Eletre R being at $145,000 in the U.S. and $178,500 in Canada.


Eletre provides drivers with the confidence to go anywhere with its hyper-fast charging. It can reach a range of up to 250 miles in just 20 minutes and a maximum range of 354 miles with a 350kW-DC fast charger.

It is one of the most powerful SUVs in the world, with rapid acceleration (0-100km/h) in under three seconds. The Eletre R variant features 905 hp and 727 lb ft of torque, which covers the benchmark (0-100kmh) sprint in just 2.95 seconds and can reach 165 mph.

Eletre features up to six driving modes including Tour, Range, Sport, Off-Road, Individual, and Track. All cars are fitted with powerful 414mm steel brakes clamped by 6-piston calipers as a standard, and on the Eletre R model, an even larger 10-piston 420mm carbon ceramic option is available. These provide drivers with Lotus’ signature dynamic handling capabilities, as well as a car that is ultra powerful and pragmatic for day-to-day.  


It includes an expansive and practical cabin that has plenty of head and leg room in both the front and rear seats, as well as foldable seats including the middle seat at the back of the car, which can be lowered down to become an armrest with two deployable cupholders.
