Lotus is a lot different nowadays compared to the ever-struggling sports car marque of yore. Parent company Geely is funding the transformation from a niche marque to an automaker with an extensive lineup. 2022 saw the introduction of what seemed impossible not that many years ago – an SUV. After the Eletre, another model with rear doors is coming. It doesn't have a name yet, but something different than "Envya" if we were to rely on recent reports.
A prototype carrying the production body has been spotted at and around the Nürburgring. Concomitantly, a new unofficial rendering attempts to peel off the camouflage we've seen in recent months of test vehicles. The exterior design will take after the Eletre SUV but adapted to create a low-slung sedan, although it technically might have a more practical tailgate for a silhouette reminiscent of the Audi A7 Sportback.
