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 Powertrains : EV Key rivals : BMW i5, Denza Z9 GT, Mercedes-Benz EQS, Polestar 5, Porsche Taycan |
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.

The Eletre redefines Lotus for the electric era, combining striking design with genuine everyday practicality. Despite its size, it retains impressive agility while offering a luxurious interior, generous space and rapid charging, making it one of the more engaging premium electric SUVs available.
Lotus Emira (22-) | RRP From : £93,955 Powertrains : Petrol Key rivals : BMW M2, Chevrolet Corvette, MG Cyberster, Porsche 911, Toyota Supra |
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.
