Lotus was surprisingly coy on equipment details, but the entry-level model features LED headlights, gloss black accents, and 22-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires. Customers will also find an expansive color palette that includes seven hues ranging from Galloway Green to Solar Yellow.

A majority of the paint jobs cost $2,450 and they’re far from the only option. Among the highlights are black badges, colored brake calipers, and larger 23-inch wheels. Lotus will also offer two carbon fiber packages including one that costs $12,000.

Moving inside, customers will find a Nappa leather interior with recycled textile accents as well as laser cut wood trim. They’re joined by a panoramic glass roof, a four-zone climate control system, and a 15.1-inch infotainment system. The five-seat crossover also has a cargo capacity of up to 54.1 cubic feet (1,532 liters).
An assortment of options will be available including an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, carbon fiber trim, and illuminated door sill plates. Customers can also get sport pedals, color seat belts, and a $3,000 Comfort Seat Pack that adds eight-way power front seats with heating and a memory function.
The entry-level Eletre has a dual motor all-wheel drive system producing 603 hp (450 kW / 612 PS) and 524 lb-ft (710 Nm) of torque. This enables the crossover to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 160 mph (258 km/h).
Power comes from a 111.9 kWh lithium-ion battery, which provides a WLTP range of between 304 and 354 miles (489 and 570 km). When the battery is low, it can go from a 10-80% charge in as little as 20 minutes with a 350 kW DC fast charger. At home, a 22 kW AC wall box can take the battery from 0-100% in around 5.8 hours.
Buyers looking for improved performance can opt for the $145,000 Eletre R. It uses the same battery pack, but sports an upgraded powertrain developing 905 hp (675 kW / 918 PS) and 727 lb-ft (985 Nm) of torque. Thanks to the extra oomph, the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time falls to 2.95 seconds, while the top speed increases to 165 mph (265 km/h). However, the WLTP range also plummets to between 254 and 280 miles (409 and 451 km).
