Inovev plans 5,000 units per year of the new Lotus Eletre SUV
- After stopping production in China in 2017, the British sports car brand Lotus (a subsidiary of the Geely group since 2017) stopped manufacturing its Elise, Exige and Evora models on British territory in March 2022. The manufacturer will now focus on three new models: the Emira, which takes up the philosophy of the three missing models, the Evija, which is a top-of-the-range 100% electric supercar and the Eletre, which is the brand's first SUV and which is also equipped with a 100% electric motor.
- The Eletre SUV has just made its debut in China where it is produced at Geely. Remember that Lotus had already manufactured cars in China between 2012 and 2017 (up to 70,000 units per year in 2013) but competition had put an end to this activity, at a time when Lotus was not yet part of the Geely group. but was under the control of the Proton Group. The Lotuses then derived from Proton models were manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer Jinhua Youngman Vehicle Corporation.
- The Geely group now wants to revive Lotus on the Chinese market, thanks to a range of models better suited to demand, in particular by marketing 100% electric vehicles. The Eletre SUV is equipped with two permanent magnet electric motors delivering 905 hp and its battery has a capacity of 100 kWh. Lotus has announced that the Eletre will soon be followed by an all-electric four-door coupe, an all-electric compact coupe and another all-electric model, all made in China.
- Inovev expects 5,000 sales per year of the new Lotus Eletre SUV.
