    I thought it was a Urus from the front. Looks quite good. Well done Geely.

    I reserve the right to change my kind, if/when I see one in person, but I like it.
    Wonder what the range/pricing will be. Could be a winner if they had a decent dealer network.

    It's another SUV appliance. Ok. I get it. They need to make money. But that's not a Lotus.
    I wonder who will buy that? Lotus fans probably hate it bc it goes against Lotus principles. And people looking for an electric SUV most likely have never heard of Lotus.
    How much is it supposed to be?

    Car companies are working too hard to make "electric" names for their vehicles. Its getting silly.

    Range?

    All the rest is pretty much pointless without that number.
    0-60 in 2 secs or 4 secs functionally for the road zero difference in a SUV.
    It really has the microwave oven on wheels look down, interior though, that's a smart Tv refrigerator

    Looks pretty good to me if you want an e SUV. Doubt Ferraris will look any better. I read 600hp, 375mi, 4200lbs, $175k, deliveries late 23. I hope its successful.

    I would be more likely to buy this if I wanted an e SUV than I would emira if I wanted sports car

    I believe article mentioned 315 miles?
    0-60 under 3 sec.
    supposed to compete with Model X
    Definitely goes against Colin Chapman’s philosophies ….
    I’m going to put a deposit down.

    Looks similar to the Urus, which is not a compliment.

    If it keeps Lotus in the business of building lightweight, nimble sportscars, then I guess I begrudgingly understand.

    It's heresy, but I get why they have to do it.

    I think carfection said <100 pounds. So, I would hope closer to $100K (think they will have to get that low to compete, at least in the USA?).
