It's safe to say Lotus' desire to hype up the Type 132 before its official reveal at the end of the month isn't going as planned. Norfolk's first SUV and second EV after the Evija hypercar showed its swoopy shape last week in patent images published by IP Australia. A new batch of grainy photos from a different patent bureau has emerged, and this time around, we get to see the interior in full.
There are no doubts about the authenticity of the images as they perfectly match what Lotus has been showing in teasers. The large tablet-like touchscreen for the infotainment system is what caught our attention, and as we've seen already, it will tilt forward when in use and rest on the dashboard when inactive. Details about how big it is are not available, but surely the display's diagonal must be at least 15 inches.
