Lotus Eletre

The Lotus Eletre is the British brand's first electric SUV, offered in India from ₹2.55 crore to ₹2.99 crore (ex-showroom). With a 112 kWh battery across all variants and up to 600 km of claimed range, it brings Lotus performance DNA — up to 905 bhp in the range-topping R — to a practical, everyday SUV body.

Range and Charging

Up to 600 km of claimed range is available on the Base and S variants, dropping to 500 km on the 905 bhp R, all from a 112 kWh lithium-ion battery. The listing does not publish charging times, so charge figures should be confirmed directly with Lotus India. As with any EV, real-world range will be lower than the claims depending on how it is driven.

Performance and Driving

603 bhp in the Base and S, 905 bhp in the R — all variants send power through an all-wheel-drive system and an automatic transmission, with the R trading range for serious straight-line performance. It is a big SUV that drives with the sharpness Lotus is known for, balanced by the serenity of electric power delivery.

Practicality and Features

An SUV body with everyday usability sits under the performance, with all three variants offering a spacious cabin. Six exterior colours, from Galoway Green to Solar Yellow and Kaimu Grey, let buyers make the Eletre as subtle or as loud as they like. Air conditioning and power steering come as standard.

Who Should Buy It

The Lotus Eletre is for enthusiasts who want a performance-first electric SUV with a rare badge and are comfortable with its ₹2.55 crore to ₹2.99 crore price. It is not about maximum efficiency — it is about the fastest, most characterful way to carry a family in an EV. If that is the brief, the Eletre has few equals in India.
