Lotus Guide
Lotus has evolved from a niche British sports car manufacturer into one of the world's most ambitious premium performance brands. While lightweight, driver-focused sports cars remain central to its identity, the company has successfully expanded into the electric SUV and grand tourer markets without abandoning its focus on engaging handling.
Backed by Geely, Lotus has invested heavily in electrification while maintaining the engineering principles that made its name. Today, Lotus offers a distinctive alternative to established premium manufacturers, blending British heritage with modern electric performance.
Current Models
Lotus Emeya (24-) | RRP From: £86,305 |
The Emeya represents a full-circle moment for Lotus. Roughly 15 years after helping Tesla launch its first production car with the Elise-based Roadster, Lotus has created its own compelling electric grand tourer. Combining engaging driving dynamics with competitive pricing and excellent pre-registered value, it has so far avoided much of the depreciation that has affected many premium electric rivals.
Lotus Eletre (23-) | RRP From: £86,305 |
The Eletre redefines Lotus for the modern era, combining dramatic design, strong practicality and serious performance. Alongside the fully electric model, the new Eletre X introduces Lotus' X-Hybrid system, pairing electric drive with a 2.0-litre petrol generator and a 70kWh battery. It can travel up to 217 miles on electric power alone, while combined range stretches beyond 745 miles. Both versions offer a luxurious interior, generous space and the engaging character expected from Lotus.
Lotus Emira (22-) | RRP From: £93,955 |
The Emira is Lotus' final petrol-powered sports car, combining beautiful styling with everyday usability and the sharp handling the brand is famous for. More refined and practical than earlier Lotus models, it remains one of the most rewarding driver's cars on sale while marking the end of an iconic era.
