Lotus wants to be rubbing shoulders with Peugeot on the Australian sales charts. The brand has been tasked with selling up to 2000 cars per year in Australia by its new Chinese owners, although the sales targets are only relevant once the Eletre and Emeya have been joined by a third, Porsche Macan-sized electric SUV in 2026. “The Asia Pacific region is expected to deliver around 10 per cent of Lotus global volume,” Lotus Cars Australia COO Richard Gibbs told CarExpert.
Pricing kicks off at $189,990 before on-road costs, and extends to $279,990 before on-roads for the Eletre R. The most powerful R hits 100km/h in less than three seconds from standstill, and tips the scales at more than 2500kg. Sitting alongside it in showrooms is the Emeya, a large electric sedan that goes head-to-head with cars ranging from the Porsche Taycan to the Mercedes-Benz EQS.
