I saw an old Type 132 thread, but thought it needed a proper 'E' name.
Prices announced officially yesterday - what do we think? At the moment it seems to be in a very small sector, with only perhaps a hot Model X or Taycan Sport Turismo as competition.
Whatever your opinions of Lotus are, Geely aren't in it to mess about, and will grow the brand.

I recently attended a function with a top-spec. Eletre, and can honestly say I was impressed. Forget the old Lots Of Trouble... - it oozed quality and solidity. Compared to the big German SUVs from VAG & BMW, it looked and felt 'special', however that's defined.
If I was considering an Aston DBX, Ferrari Quatropasta or Lambo Anus, I'd seriously reconsider. And then there's the Lotus's cost advantage. Maybe we'll get them in Blighty within 12 months.

It had height-adjustable air suspension. As for off-road modes, no idea.

Just seen TeslaBjorn's review on YT - he was impressed, basically saying there's nothing better in the segment.
