These base-spec Lotus EVs has since gained a few more goodies with this latest model-year revision.
Lotus Cars Malaysia has recently introduced the MY27 updates for its Eletre 600 and Emeya 600 locally, with both baseline EVs gaining an expanded list of standard equipment to better match what was previously offered on higher-end variants.
Now among the more notable additions is the inclusion of an active rear spoiler, along with larger wheels to round off the visual upgrade. The Eletre SUV now rides on 22-inch units, while the Emeya sedan gets 21-inch wheels, both paired with Pirelli P Zero tyres and six-piston brake calipers available in either black or red.
Moving inside meanwhile, new Nappa leather upholstery in a Jasper finish replaces the previous LotusWear performance fabric. This is then complemented by dark tri-colour seatbelts, as well as configurable ambient lighting.
Elsewhere though, standard equipment across both models continues to include adaptive air suspension with continuous damping control, brake-applied torque vectoring, and matrix LED headlamps. Interior kit in turn includes a 15-speaker KEF premium audio system, four-zone climate control, and a 29-inch head-up display, alongside powered and heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a central OLED infotainment display with connected services and over-the-air update capability.
And as expected for what is essentially a kit list upgrade, there are to be no changes under the skin. Both the Eletre 600 and Emeya 600 retain their dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, producing 450 kW and 710 Nm of torque. The century sprint is dispatched in 4.5 seconds for the Eletre and 4.15 seconds for the Emeya.
Battery and charging specifications also carry over, with both models retaining their 112 kWh battery pack. The Eletre is rated for up to 580 km of WLTP range on a single charge, while the Emeya extends that to around 610 km.
Both these EVs run on an 800-volt electrical architecture, supporting DC fast charging of up to 350 kW for the Eletre and 420 kW for the Emeya. A 10-80% charge can be completed in approximately 15 to 20 minutes under optimal conditions, while AC charging of up to 22 kW is also supported.
In Malaysia, both models are available in core colours such as Zenith White, Kaimu Grey, and Stellar Black, alongside optional finishes like Galloway Green, Boreal Grey, Fireglow Orange, and Solar Yellow.
Finally on pricing, despite the end of tax-free imported EV incentives, the Lotus Eletre 600 SUV remains unchanged at RM 499,000 from its initial variant launch price last August. The Emeya 600 in turn is now priced from RM 489,000, reflecting a slight increase (RM 30,000) over its most recent revision, though interestingly still lower than its original launch price of RM 555,000.
