The Lotus Eletre is a striking and progressive Hyper-SUV, the first of a new breed of pure electric SUVs. It takes the core principles and Lotus DNA from more than 70 years of sports car design and engineering, evolving them into a desirable all-new lifestyle car for the next generation of Lotus customers.
The Eletre is 4WD, has a battery capacity that’s over 100kWh and with power from 600hp. A bold new dimension to the Lotus performance car portfolio, the Eletre delivers a significant number of firsts for Lotus – the first five-door production car, the first model outside sports car segments, the first lifestyle EV, the most ‘connected’ Lotus ever.
Working closely with Lotus, KEF has drawn on its expertise on acoustic engineering to create a truly spatial and scalable audio experience for the Lotus Eletre. The standard audio system on the new Lotus Eletre electric Hyper-SUV, called KEF Premium, features an 1380-watt 15-speaker system with Uni-Q™ and surround sound technology. The unique KEF Uni-Q™ technology combines both tweeter and mid-range drivers into an acoustically idealised single point source, delivering a more coherent, hyper-realistic sound experience.
Customers can upgrade to KEF Reference, a 2160-watt 23-speaker system with Uni-Q™ and 3D surround sound technology. The KEF Reference option also features the Uni-Core™ technology, a pioneering new approach to speaker and subwoofer design that redefines size versus performance. Both KEF Premium and KEF Reference audio system options feature partially exposed speakers in the doors, a technical execution and a beautiful design feature.
