Lotus of Vancouver announces Lotus' first electric SUV to arrive in BC this fall, redefining sophisticated performance
This fall, get ready for a shake-up in the electric vehicle world as the Lotus Eletre makes its grand entrance into Canada, brought to you by Lotus of Vancouver. This hyper-SUV isn’t just another electric car—it’s Lotus’ audacious move from its celebrated UK sports car history to a global performance icon. Combining more than 75 years of engineering expertise with the latest technology, the Eletre blends the sleek design of the Emira sports car with the aerodynamic finesse of the Evija hypercar, delivering a driving experience like no other.
Whether you’re a sports car enthusiast or looking for a versatile vehicle for your family, the Eletre is designed for a wide range of discerning drivers.
Available in two versions, the Eletre is equipped standard with a robust 603 hp powertrain and 258 kph top speed, while providing a range of up to 595 km. Taking a bold step forward is the Eletre R, boasting a staggering 905 hp, a top speed of 265 kph and a range of up to 450 km. Both versions are all-wheel drive and sprint instantaneously from 0-100 kph in under three-seconds.
A technological marvel, the Eletre features a world-first deployable LiDAR system that uses sophisticated sensors to map its surroundings in 3D for augmented navigation, safety and autonomous driving capabilities. The Eletre ensures you spend more time on the road and less at the charging station, being able to replenish from 10 to 80% in as little as 20 minutes with DC rapid charging.
The dramatic design is a testament to innovation. Active aerodynamics and intelligent porous design captivate and enhance functionality. Further captivating is the active front grille, which deploys like budding lotus leaves if additional cooling is needed.
Luxury is redefined with sumptuous Nappa leather, a swathe of sustainable textiles, an advanced and intuitive infotainment system, and bespoke KEF Premium Audio system. Owners also have extensive customization options for utmost personalization.
Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the rebellious, daring and dramatic Lotus Eletre—an SUV promising to transform the driving experience in BC when it arrives in fall 2024. Visit Lotus of Vancouver at 2211 Burrard Street to be among the first to experience this revolutionary vehicle.
