Lotus Eletre X hybrid SUV launch
Overview
Lotus has introduced the Eletre X, the brand’s first plug-in hybrid Hyper-SUV, built on a proprietary X-Hybrid platform. The vehicle utilizes a 2.0-liter turbo petrol engine to act as a range extender for a 70 kWh battery, offering a total range of up to 1,200 km. The high-performance H1000 variant is capable of 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.3 seconds.
This launch marks a strategic shift for the Geely-owned manufacturer, moving away from a previous ‘Electric first’ policy. The decision follows a decline in the German market for the fully electric Eletre model, which saw sales decrease by nearly 12 percent compared to the previous year.
