A proper electric SUV

[Wing Commander]

Lotus used to be known for design, god have they lost it with this

Front end Urus wannabe
Rear end - ugly, some Civic cues in there but the rest is horrid
Interior - meh
Steering wheel came out of Argos, Playstation accessories page
£100k pricing Lol!

Colin Chapman will be turning in his grave!!

It’s a world car, UK no’s will be interesting, there will certainly be a few, although it will sell well in Asia, Middle East and the States. It’s clearly from the Geely stable (Zeekr,Polestar,Volvo et al) but it does mirror the new Lotus style, look, presence and also suggesting in its performance. It’s in the Urus, Bentayga, AM, fold. Very high spec and will be competitively priced. What’s not to like? Well it’s BIG, even bigger than a Cayenne. As long as it allows Lotus to continue upward and keep making their sports scars in Hethel I’m all for it. Watch out as their next EV release will be Macan size

The Fisker Ocean will be a heck of a lot better contender to the Macan EV , 560bhp for £60k and 350mile range

That's if it ever gets off the ground! Fisker's track record is dreadful, and their business model of buying everything in means that there'll be precious little margin left for them. Also, the Ocean is planned to be built in Austria, so high wage levels will be another problem. Remember that Fisker hasn't actually produced an Ocean yet, they just have a handful of prototypes. Mr Fisker is good at making promises, but isn't as good at delivering.

Just watched a video on the lotus - some cool tech, some very dubious stuff too. The absolute shocker was that it has the boot space of a VW Golf!!
In a five meter long car!

Golf size generous - I can only just about get my helmet and a pair of pants (doesn’t matter whose!) in the boot of my lotus

Not sure I want to know where you put your helmet Tracky…

Some SUV’s on the market, are designed from their stable mate sports cars. But that Lotus, looks nothing like anything from their stable. The new Emira looks stunning, very much hypercar, Ferrari like. But that is anything but.

At least they won't be able to use it as a hearse - which is a plus point as I wouldn't want to be seen dead in one

Given your forum name you might be there before us anyway so you can still go in a dirty diesel merc estate

Possibly, but it could also make me a dead ringer.
