We learned a lot about the Lotus Eletre when it debuted earlier this year. However, Lotus has provided more details about its electric SUV that fill in a lot of gaps about the model. It’ll be available in three trims: Eletre, Eletre S, and Eletre R
The standard, single-speed powertrain produces 603 hp (450 kilowatts) and 523 pound-feet (710 Newton-meters) of torque. The Eletre R packs the high-powered, dual-speed system making 905 hp (675 kW) and 726 lb-ft (985 Nm) of torque. The R can hit 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 2.95 seconds and reach a top speed of 165 mph (265 kph). The less-powerful Eletre and Eletre S need 4.5 seconds to complete the same sprint.
Lotus says the single-speed SUV will return up to 373 miles (600 kilometers) of range. The potent Eletre R is restricted to a max of 309 miles (490 km). Both pack the same 112-kilowatt-hour battery, which can recharge from 10 to 80 percent in 20 minutes using rapid charging. Lotus still hasn’t revealed the SUV’s weight.
