The Lotus Eletre tells us this brand no longer makes gasoline-powered cars. As we see the Emira drive off into the sunset, a new model shows up to take its place. This new vehicle is nothing like what we’ve ever seen from Lotus before. It’s heavier, powered by electricity, and it’s a luxury SUV. The new vehicle is the Eletre, and the reveal is at 2:30 pm EST on March 29, 2022, via live stream. You can catch the live stream on YouTube, Facebook, or lotuscars.com.

As reported by Autoblog.com, the Eletre (pronounced El-etra) showed up in a large yellow cube while riding on a boat down the River Thames. This dramatic entrance is only the beginning of what we hope will be an incredible SUV. The name Eletre means “coming to life” in some languages, and it signals a rebirth for Lotus.

If you’re at all familiar with the Type 132 prototype, you already have an idea of what the new Lotus Eletre offers. This vehicle should be a luxury crossover SUV built by a sports car brand to amaze the world. We will find out more tomorrow at 2:30 when this new SUV makes its appearance.
