WATT MATTERS?

The Emeya brings Lotus's electric reinvention into a low four-door grand tourer. Its shape is more consistent with the marque's sporting history than a tall SUV, even if the scale is very different.

A battery-electric performance GT combining four-door practicality with an emphasis on acceleration, chassis technology and rapid charging. Australian grade and range details require final confirmation.
