British sports carmaker, Lotus is gearing up to make its grand entry into India later this year. The carmaker is known for its Formula 1 team’s impressive seven World Championships and its iconic lightweight sportscars. The first offerings in their lineup for the Indian market will be the Emira and Eletre models.

About Lotus Emira

The Emira features the maker’s essential qualities: compact, lightweight, and agile. It will be available with two power options – a 365hp four-cylinder engine sourced from AMG and a potent 406hp V6 from Toyota. What sets the Emira apart from traditional Lotus models is its enhanced fit, finish, and practicality.

Surprisingly, it offers amenities like door pockets and cup holders, features digital instruments, and even boasts a central touchscreen—a touch of luxury that might feel unusual for the brand known for its pure performance focus.

The Eletre SUV signifies the future with its all-electric powertrain. It boasts a contemporary design, both inside and out, offering spaciousness, a unique cabin design, and impressive power. The SUV will get the robust 611hp in both the Eletre and Eletre S models. For those seeking even more exhilaration, the R version boasts a larger rear motor, delivering a staggering total output of 918hp.

Underneath, all versions feature a 109kWh battery, operating on an 800V system and supporting rapid charging at up to 350kW. With expected prices ranging from Rs 2.5 crore to 3.1 crore, the Eletre represents a leap into the future of automotive excellence.
