While these Eletre e-SUVs are to be pre-owned, Lotus assures that each unit on the list have nevertheless been meticulously maintained and inspected by the marque. This is in order to that the same exceptional standards of craftsmanship, quality and driving experience are upheld.
What more is that these pre-owned Eletres are still to be backed by the same complimentary five-year/100,000 km service package and comprehensive factory five-year/150,000 km manufacturer’s warranty, in addition to an 8-year/200,000 km battery warranty. Do note however that both aforementioned warranties are already to be in effect from the vehicle’s initial registration date.
The Eletre was to be the British automaker’s first foray into both the (mass-market) EV and SUV segments. Three variants of this all-electric Lotus was launched locally back in April 2023: the base Eletre which went for RM 578,000, the Eletre S which will set one back RM 648,000 and the range-topping Eletre R which costed RM 798,000.
Both the Eletre and Eletre S are to be powered by a twin electric-motor setup that makes 603 hp and 710 Nm of torque, which in turn sends this e-SUV to 100 km/h from a standstill in just 4.5 seconds, before eventually topping out at 258 km/h. The hot Eletre R meanwhile further adds a bit more power (905 hp and 985 Nm of torque in total), as well as a 2-speed transmission to the proceedings. This performance variant manages the century sprint in just 2.95 seconds, and only runs out of puff at 265 km/h.
All 3 available variants of the Eletre are fed by a 112 kWh LFP battery pack, which here translates to a WLTP-rated range of 600 km for the base-spec and S trim, while the top-spec R can supposedly do 490 km on a single charge. All Eletres also feature a 350 kW charger that allows this e-SUV to juice up from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 20 minutes, with it to also happily accept 22 kW AC charging as well.
