When you think of Lotus, compact and lightweight fun sportscars are the usual associations. Now Lotus has an all-electric SUV and we’ve driven it!
Colin Chapman once mentioned that the ethos of every Lotus was to simplify and add lightness. Times have certainly changed for the Lotus brand and this new Eletre is a far cry from the lightweight sportscars Lotus is well-known for producing.

Johnny Bravo from Wish (Ciro De Siena) susses out the newcomer and gives us his point of view on the newcomer from the British brand.
