Can Lotus' mighty flagship SUV live up to the hype? We try out the Lotus Eletre R for size

Lotus Eletre R.

What’s it like to live with Lotus’s hyper-SUV, the Eletre R? We spent a fortnight behind the wheel of this monumental electric performance car to explore the current state of the art. When the Lotus Eletre was first revealed, it marked a massive deviation from the established Lotus template; big, heavy, four doors, five seats and pure electric power. The first step in a radical overhaul of the British brand, thanks to new ownership and investment from Hangzhou-based Geely Auto Group, the Lotus Eletre has now been joined by the superb Lotus Emeya sporting saloon.
