Lotus Eletre review: what the car critics say

All-electric hyper SUV is not just entertaining to drive – it’s also ‘extraordinarily well made’

This “jet-fighter cool”, 2.5-tonnes “monster” is Lotus’s first SUV and first all-electric car, said The Daily Telegraph. Entering a hotly contested market when it goes on sale this year, the Eletre is claimed to be “the world’s best all-electric hyper SUV”. There are three models to choose between: the base (£89,500) and the S (£104,500) both have a single-speed, dual motor 603bhp drivetrain, and can do 0-62mph in 4.5secs, with a top speed of 160mph and a range of 373 miles. The top model R (£120,000) has 892bhp through two-speed transmission, and can do 0-62mph in 2.95secs with a 304-mile range. But of course, the more you select from the options list the more these prices “spin up”.
