Lotus Cars has officially made its debut in India with the launch of the Eletre. The SUV will be sold in three trims here -- standard (₹ 2.55 crore), S (₹ 2.75 crore) and R (₹ 2.99 crore, all prices, ex-showroom).
It features a distinctly sporty design, with sharp headlamps and air vents built into its bonnet. The Eletre has two spoilers, one at the top, and the other positioned above the full-width tail-lamp.
On the inside, the Eletre gets three displays in total – one for the digital instrumentation, one for the passenger side display, along with a 15.1-inch central infotainment display.
The Eletre is offered with two powertrain options -- a 597 bhp single motor setup in the standard and S trims, and an 896 bhp dual motor setup in the Eletre R. Torque figures are 710 and 985 Nm respectively.
All trims of the car feature a 112 kWh battery pack, which enables a maximum range of up to 600 km in the standard and S trims. The Eletre R however, has a lower range figure of 490 km.
Although the Lotus Eletre doesn't have any direct competition in the Indian market, its closest rivals include the likes of the BMW iX and the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV.
