Popular Post Bee Posted January 20 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 20 Very good look at an Eletre in action - it's certainly not slow! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedaSay Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Ok so it looks pretty sinister in black, the air suspension is pretty trick. It will do 3.2s 0 to 62mph on tires that are cooked and will go 100 to 0 in 32m so better than a sports. It will break traction if you don't manage to not stomp on the right pedal The rear lidar is now static and the perceived quality of the cabin on this pre-production model is out there.

Footie Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Of those that have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to see the Eletre in real life and sat in it can you tell me how does the quality compare to the likes of a Cayenne, X5 or Range Rover Sport?

Popular Post MPx Posted February 14 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 14 In my view its up there. The pre-production one I sat in had some pre production gremlins - eg boot close not working properly - which is always disappointing if entirely understandable, but the general quality of materials and finish seemed very nice for the most part, just some thin plasticy bits in places - on the doors for instance. My daily is a (2017) SVAD Rangie and fully spec'd an R would come in at similar money new. On just a 15 minute acquaintance I still prefer the quality/weight/feel of the Rangie, but I don't think they are really directly comparable. As quick as the SVAD is with 545bhp its not going to be dynamically comparable to the 900bhp Eletre (just guessing as it was a static display car!) ....but the Eletre is unlikely to match it on capability in any situation and definitely not for towing. I've not been in the latest Sport, but the Eletre is (I'd say) at least as well finished as the Velar that I've spent some time in. Haven't been in a modern Cayenne or X5 - older generations were chalk and cheese with RangeRover and when I tried back to back found I was a RangeRover type and have stuck on that course over the last 15 years. I think the Eletre is more in their mould (Cayenne Turbo, X5M) - and really very good at it. 3 Quote Loving Lionel and Eleanor......missing Charlie and Sonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footie Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Thanks for your reply, by the sounds of it the Eletre feels a quality product that if not quite as good as the Range Rover is probably as good as the X5/Cayenne etc. Handling wise it will knock spots off the RRS though the Macan EV which I also have a deposit on will probably be it’s match what with it being smaller and possibly a little lighter. Just wished Charles Hurst would get their showroom built so Lotus can have an Eletre over here for us to see. Does anyone know when we will be able to actually get behind the wheel, based on some of the videos on YouTube it seems Chinese customers are getting that chance already.
