Lotus Eletre EV spied on-road in Malaysia – official market arrival for 905 hp hyper-SUV on April 13

The top Eletre R variant features dual motors with does 0-100 km/h in just 2.95 seconds while the 80-120 km/h gap is done in under 1.9 seconds. Top speed for the Eletre R is 265 km/h, and its claimed WLTP range from the same 112 kWh is 490 km. In all variants, an 800-volt architecture enables a 10-80% quick charge capability in just 20 minutes, described simply as via a DC connection.

Word we have received on Eletre pricing in Malaysia is that even the top Eletre R variant will not breach the RM1 million threshold, even with all options selected. Indicative pricing for the base of the range is therefore even lower, and is said to be from RM630k, thanks in large part to the EV duty incentives currently in play in Malaysia.

For those with the funds ready, the Lotus Eletre appears to be good value considering the performance on offer, and it seems more than a few Malaysians are in agreement; according to our sources, the Eletre has collected more than 100 orders as of last month despite no prior marketing activity by Lotus Cars Malaysia (LCM).
