Come 1 July 2025, Lotus is giving its Eletre hyper-SUV and Emeya hyper-GT a full-on philosophical refresh.
The 2025 line-up for both Eletre and Emeya now runs on a clearer naming convention, ‘600’ and ‘900’, which handily reflect their power output in metric horsepower. For the nostalgic, the beloved trim names of GT SE and SPORT SE also make a triumphant return, resurrected from the Lotus hall of fame and stitched into these modern electric silhouettes.
The Eletre 600 and Emeya 600 variants deliver 612 bhp through a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup, paired with a 112 kWh battery. Both cars are fitted with active air suspension, KEF premium audio systems, and Lotuswear Performance Fabric interiors in two tasteful themes: Quartz and Jasper.
Prefer something even spicier? The 900 variants are your ticket. With 918 bhp and a 2-speed transmission, the Eletre 900 SPORT and Emeya 900 SPORT demolish 0-100 km/h in 2.78 seconds. That’s hypercar territory, except here it’s wrapped in the practicality of an SUV or GT sedan.
The new range is structured around predefined trim levels, each one kitted out with crowd-favourite features. The GT SEs bring in touches of opulence like intelligent glass roofs, illuminated side sills and KEF’s flagship 23-speaker Reference audio system. SPORT SE trims lean harder into performance, with dynamic handling packs, active aero elements, and even massaging ventilated seats for those moments between apexes.
And if you’re the sort who likes everything just so, Lotus hasn’t forgotten you either. Optional packages, vibrant new colours like Zenith and Akoya White, and Lotuswear’s signature tactile interiors ensure that every Eletre and Emeya can still be uniquely yours.
And what of range? Up to 610 km on the WLTP cycle means you can chase the horizon for hours without range anxiety. And when you do need a top-up, the Emeya’s 800V hyper-charging system lets you juice up from 10–80% in a mere 14 minutes.
It’s easy to forget in the sea of performance specs, but these are still Lotus cars. That means road feel, sharp steering, and aerodynamics honed not just for efficiency, but for engagement. The principle of ‘porosity’, allowing air to flow through, over, and under the car, is evident in every crease and contour. You’ll find this DNA across both models, inherited from the flagship Evija and the celebrated Emira.
Whether you fancy yourself a cross-country grand tourer or just want to know your SUV can outrun a Ferrari, Lotus now has an electric chariot tailored for you. The Emeya 600 starts from S$391,700*, while the range-topping Eletre 900 SPORT commands a princely S$688,700*.
