2023 Lotus Eletre EV SUV (Type 132)

[Carbon82]

'Petite' is the word I have long associated with cars from Lotus stable, so when I first read about the dimensions of this new EV, I thought it was an typo error, but it is not. This SUV is gigantic, even by other auto manufacturers' standards. 

• Length: 5,105 mm
• Width: 2,131 mm
• Height: 1,630 mm
• Wheelbase: 3,019 mm

For a better illustration, it is larger than Aston Martin DBX (5.04 m), Audi Q8 (5.01 m), Maserati Levante (5.01 m), Porsche Cayenne (4.92 m), Range Rover Sport (4.88 m) and the same size as Lamborghini Urus (5.11 m)

• Max. Horsepower: 600 PS (entry level) 
• 0 to 100Km/h: <3.0 sec
• Top Speed: 257 Km/h
• Range: ~400 Km
• Charging Capability: 800V
• Battery Capacity: >100 KWh

Most sleek SUV. May be it is due to the length.

I have no words. Almost. 

Add Colin Chapman to the list of dead automotive icons spinning in their graves. 

Actually, if you harnessed the energy from all these spinning corpses, you'd have very clean electricity to run all these cars. 😁

Except the name. Which is why spin Colin, spin.

The aero features seemed purposeful.

Not sure about that long rear overhang though. Makes the car look ungainly and clumsy.

And the interior fittings looks a little too chintzy to be truly classy.

The "Lotus" Chinese name is awful. What "路特斯" ? Can be seen on the green model in the rear(passenger side).

If pronounced wrongly it can be seen as "路特死" or "road special death".

Or worse "路特屎" or "road special crap".
