## Highlights

- 603bhp twin-motor all-wheel drive, 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds

- Air suspension with active anti-roll control
- Five seats, generous rear legroom and a proper boot
- Rapid charging that adds most of the range in one stop

## How does the Eletre drive?

Quickly and quietly. Twin motors give around 603bhp and 62mph arrives in 4.5 seconds, delivered as one uninterrupted shove rather than a series of gearchanges. What sets it apart from other large electric SUVs is the chassis: Lotus fitted air suspension with active anti-roll control, so the body stays flat and the car turns in with more precision than its two-and-a-half tonnes suggest.

## What is the real-world range?

Official figures put it near 370 miles, and a realistic motorway number is closer to 300 depending on wheels, weather and speed. Charging is the strong point: on a high-power rapid charger the Eletre takes on the bulk of its range in about twenty minutes, so a long journey needs one stop rather than a rethink.

## What does it cost to hire a Lotus Eletre?

Expect a refundable deposit near £5,000 and a matching insurance excess, with 12,000 miles a year included and £2 a mile after that. Drivers need to be 28 or over. The car is delivered fully charged and charging costs sit with the hirer.

## Is it practical enough for a family?

Yes. It is a five-seat SUV with real rear legroom, a large boot and a front compartment for cables. The cabin is heavily digital, which suits some people more than others, and the low roofline costs a little headroom in the back. Nothing about it asks you to compromise the way a sports car would.

## Frequently asked questions

### How far will a Lotus Eletre go on a charge?

Around 370 miles on the official cycle, with roughly 300 more realistic on a motorway run. Range varies with wheel size, temperature and speed, as it does on any electric car.

### Is the Eletre related to the Emira?

Only by badge. The Emira is a two-seat petrol sports car; the Eletre is a five-seat electric SUV on a different platform. They share the brand and a design language, not their engineering.

### Is it delivered charged?

Yes, with a full battery. Charging during the hire is the responsibility of the hirer, and we will flag the rapid chargers on your route if it helps with planning.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*
