Winter has descended upon the Canadian forests, and car enthusiasts are on the hunt for a thrilling all-wheel drive solution to conquer the snowy roads. Enter the Lotus Electra, a remarkable electric SUV that has caught their attention. Now, you might be thinking, "Lotus? An SUV?" Yes, my friends, you heard it right. Lotus, the purveyor of lightweight, mid-engined sports cars, has ventured into the world of SUVs. And let me tell you, it's a bit of a head-scratcher.
The Lotus Electra, with its hefty price tag of $150,000, claims to be the world's first hyper SUV. With 900 horsepower under the hood and a lightning-fast 0 to 60 mph time of under 3 seconds, it certainly packs a punch. This dual motor electric beast is a force to be reckoned with, delivering a performance that rivals the best in the market. But here's the catch: it lacks the advanced torque vectoring system found in tri-motor EVs, opting for brake-based torque vectoring instead.
Now, let's talk about the design. Lotus has attempted to blend their signature styling with elements of other SUVs, resulting in a rather peculiar look. Some may find it funky and unique, while others may question its aesthetic appeal. But hey, beauty is subjective, right? The interior, on the other hand, is a different story. It's a luxurious haven that screams $150,000. With Napa leather seats, gold accents, and a top-notch sound system, it's a cabin that exudes opulence.
Despite its quirks, the Lotus Electra offers a comfortable and agile ride, thanks to its air suspension and rear-wheel steering. It handles like a dream, making it one of the best-handling electric SUVs on the market. However, there are some ergonomic issues with the controls and features, like the oddly placed glove compartment and the lack of a dedicated volume knob. But let's not dwell on the negatives. The Electra is a powerful and luxurious SUV that pushes the boundaries of what Lotus is known for. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those seeking a unique and exhilarating driving experience, it's worth a closer look.
