To be honest, in the price range this car is, it seems to be the real deal. Lotus pulled out a nice one here 🙌
Looks like it's by far the most compelling vehicle in its segment, well done to Geely/Lotus.
yep very compelling ...for the filthy rich ......jk
@@pumpuppthevolume Stop crying.
@@mravecsk1 u first :P
@@pumpuppthevolume I just ordered one, but I don't consider myself flithy rich... my butler is typing this though.
Very cool and kudos to Lotus to give your own car, not sharing with a Barbie influencer! Great video!
"acting like a chineese car" - Not acting! it's a Geely (I'll still get one when I win the lottery)
You'd be more likely to be able to buy one not wasting money on lottery tickets in the first place, it's just a tax on the poor
Its a volvo
@@patriot2314 No, it's not a Volvo.
It's a Geely, with lotus badges and design. It's not exactly 100% related to the hethel outfit I don't think (where they do the sports cars).
This is actually made by Volvo, Lotus and Geely all working together.
Would be interesting to see the efficiency with the 20 inch aero setup. Hope you get that opportunity at some point!
Same- problem: you can’t get a towing huk and you have to upgrade the rims to 22 inch and the brakes to 6 piston calipers.
Lotus know their game. Kudos for them to let you test the car. Great job Bjorn!
I’m blown away that you managed to fit so much in. What a superb return for lotus
This one looks like a winner.
Yes, and you have to be the winner of a lotto to afford it 😅
the car sounds impressively quiet relative to Tesla, Mercedes and Audi
Tesla, lol. Perhaps the latest S is ok, the others are not very quiet.
@@StefanNorberg oh really? I thought they did double paying glass on the newer model y to improve it
@@salocin911 there’s more to sound proofing than glass. wheelhouses, doors etc.
I have been on one of these. They are very nice. Don't be fooled into thinking it's size represents it's practicality in the storage department, Enyaq far more convenient.
But for luxury and cabin convenience...... Nice.......!
This car has been testing downstairs in our company, and the first sight of it was amazing. Especially the eight lidar's and the mighty tail fins.
Finally, a car where 800v architecture shines! 300kW is insane!
China: from rickshaws and bicycles 30 years ago to the worlds most advanced cars. You’ve got to give them kudos!
Lotus is British, isn’t that?
@@maxdskidb
A British brand now owned and made in China with mostly Chinese technology and some European engineering
It's mostly lotus engineering, just the battery and the motors are from China.
@@robinok1406They didn’t invent any technology, they are good at manufacturing however.
@@TechnoMonkeyFarm
China is ahead of United States in 37 out off 44 critical technologies according to Australian strategic policy research institute ASPI. Please enter the 21st century.
Kef make some good speakers. LS50 are pretty popular. Really nice car. I love the super capacitors. Hopefully this tech trickles down to cheaper cars in the future.
well to be fair, you can buy a base model 3 for like 31k euro (at least where i lived, i bought a Model 3 performance for like 48k + 11k km of free charge just because they had to empty the inventory).
When I was in my twenties, I walked into a Lotus dealer and asked for a test drive of the Elise. They threw me the keys.
I was shocked - "Do you need to come with me?"
"Don't worry, just bring it back in a couple of hours."
I've been a fan of the marque ever since.
The headroom in the front looks amazing too. I have to say, this car at its price range, checks a lot of boxes. Thanks for this video.
Sure but remember Bjorn is like 170cm
Even if it is with no question an excellent EV SUV, it's just not a Lotus. The "light is right" philosophy of Colin Chapman is very far away from this 2.4 tons monster.
I like a lot more what Catheram did, a Seven EV prototype with a very contained weight (about as much as the fossil version).
22inch is overkill for normal roads. 20inch would be way better.
More of an aesthetic thing. 20 inch wheels would make the car look less impressive. 22 inch fills it out
Very impressive! Thanks for review. First time we see a car beating the equivalent Tesla. I would take the Lotus over a Model X any day. Great job from Lotus, hope the quality and reliability matches!
3:56 this is all you need to add to the EX30 Volvo and then you have a home run, and its in the group part bin already 🙂
Only thing is it ended up looking like an Xpeng. Had high hopes for this one, when the concept looked like an Urus.
The configuration in that video cost 162k € 😅
That charging is insane, not only for the peak power but more for how long it sustains. Crazy
Good for Geely/Lotus to launch it before Macan&Audi Q6 BEV
wow! this one is going to sell like hot cakes. So much better looking than the Tesla X. This is want I would get if it ever lands in Australia !
But it's 90k car
@@cobaltblue2756 so? tesla model X start from 100k. what's your point?
@@shawndonadieu4084 not many will be sold at that price
I prefer the model X !
The (Chinese) Lotus is bloated and simultaneously cramped inside.
Very nice test. Interesting and definitely it's going to be my car!
👍
I’m so sorry for lotus… Colin Chapman would certainly cry seing this monster… urus front and ev6 back.
A real bling bling car for chinese new rich people. All this flashy debauchery really doesn't appeal to me. 2700 kg. We've entered the world of the electric tank...
@@iannealcole
Apparently you think you know everything about the mind of Colin Chapman...
There's only one thing left of Lotus on this car: the logo.
This machine is the opposite of his work and production. Lotus has never been a manufacturer of flashy luxury cars. Geely bought a name and a logo to put on its cars, as was already done for MG. Where are these cars designed, developed and manufactured? In China, not in the UK. There is certainly not a single Colin Chapman collaborator who ever participated in the genesis of this soulless Frankenstein monster. It's all pure marketing to saturate all vehicle ranges with made-in-China products. Just because it has a Lotus logo, you see it as a British production. But this logo only serves to attract wealthy, uneducated consumers, who want a vehicle with status, which must make the neighbors look good. You can badge this car Maserati, Volvo, or whatever, it'll still be the same soulless product.
Lotus was very lucky. It rely on Chinese market and the best supply chain in the world. A bright future ahead.
Best Lotus review on UA-cam! This car looks amazing, I wish to try and compare to my ID. 4
this car is basically zeeker001 pro max ultra that tuned by lotus😂 they share the same chassis and many components with 001,that’s why in certain angles it looks like a zeeker001
Does it charge faster when you put the spoiler up?
Finding difficult to make friends with the fact Lotus abandoned the one thing they were the best at. Light weight designs. 2700kg, are you kidding?
Well it is a big crossover with huge wheels....
I had to lower the sound cause people thought I was watching a porn movie.. This is the new choice of preference, I think, tnx Björn!
"There is many more me" haha
The satellite images on the navigation were made with a Chinese “weather” balloon
Very nice car! This will certainly be the best selling Lotus ever. The "Korean siesta" is due to battery recalibration, by shortly interrupting the charge (or throttle to a low value) the SOC can be recalibrated based on the voltage response during the throttling. If you don't do that, there is a risk that at 100%, it might actually be at 97% or also 103%. The BMU estimates the SOC during charging based on the current but it's more exact if a recalibration is done during the charge.
Lithium cells are charged at a constant voltage when near full. They'd never exceed 100%
So it's almost 6000lbs? Holy macaroni. (I guess closer to 5800 without Bjorn and cameras)
Is this a Polestar underneath? The Chinese EV is coming for all legacy automakers with wonderful products.
So do you need to talk to Q Branch to build you an Eletre with missiles, machine guns, and great range?
designed，tested and manufactured in China
The interior looks nice.
Yo...oh What's up? The best video opening in the business...😅
Even though the car is very interesting, I think it's a shame that every manufacturer is jumping on the SUV train.
I think, this is the fattest Lotus ever.
But this charging curve is very impressive, the first large battery that charges almost at 3C. The premium manufacturers have to be careful and catch up properly.
Cars are going down the same stupid roue as mobile phones. The latest $1500 iphone with computing power enough to go to the moon and back by itself, is used to scroll fn instagram... Soon when energy cost more to produce and a car will be a transport vehicle again instead of a ...
Youre catching on.
@@samusaran7317 i like ecology instead of economics 👍
Have you seen the Aptera? make that with 4 seats and I'm in! cd of 0,13 or something like that 🤩
Visually it looks like an electric version of Lamborghini Urus
What a beast man...great one Bjorn
Thought it was a EV6 MY BEAUTIFUL CAR ❤❤❤❤
The KEF sound system is amazing! Tried it myself and it is WAY better than the EQS’s Burmester and Volvo’s B&W
Aside the shitty autopilot and charge port in the front, this car is the best EV I’m owning. From a R+ owner
2700 kg and you need downforce...🤔
Thanks Bjørn. Nice video. Is there one pedal drive and how is the pedestrian sound at low speed?
I thought most ev’s had different tyres for noise and efficiency. Are the tyres on this lotus standard p zeros? I suppose you can put standard tyres on most ev’s just that it’ll be noisier and less efficient
I hope you will have this car for extended period so you can test it fully....
The first Tesla was a elongated Lotus Elise, I wonder if Lotus made a partnership with Tesla back then, where would they be now?
อยากให้ทำรีวิวเวอร์ชั้นไทยด้วยครับพี่
1000 km challenge with smaller rims will be nice result.
Sorry….voila another “panzer” no thanks.
ตามมาจาก เชียงใหม่ ประเทศไทย ครับ
Looking forward to when you have the car longer and do all the Bjorn tests. Great to see the new max charging speed king for now.
Spotify doesn't have dolby atmos. You should have tested with Tidal.
Lotus/Geely copying Tesla in almost every way on the main screen, knowing it works.
2700 kg ! Colin Chapman turning in his grave
Sick and tired of the "SUV" class...
*SAME*
Damn that car seems so nice!
I just would never drive around in something with a front looking like that...
Hoping for a facelift sooner rather than later!
What an amazing car ☺ thanks for the video 😊
Good car objectively but concept wise this couldn't be any further away from Lotus' heritage. I hope Geely makes something akin to the OG Tesla Roadster because this thing here has no soul whatsoever...
Manual spoiler scene: Priceless! 😂
Spoiler alert!
Kef has been producing amazing high quality products since the 60s. I am pretty sure streaming spotify isnt the best way to test quality :/ . Quite a bizarre route you decided to take...
Because I forgot to bring my USB drive, as already mentioned in the video...
3:05 What’s with that gap between the door and the quarter panel? It looks like the door has been hit and they didn’t bother fixing it as opposed to a design feature. Lol
After test driving the Lotus 38km’s back and forth on the highway between 120 and 130km/h and doing the same lab with the iX … I’m probably going to cancel my pre order, the iX is as good, but the consumption is horrible for the Lotus, 29kwh/100km versus 24 for the BMW. Granted the Lotus had 23 inch wheels, but it had the camera mirrors (my iX has 22inch) Overall it’s a good car, but not better than the iX, the Kef sound system needs some work, no EQ and very bass heavy. Yes it charges fast, if you find the wright charger, it started at 250kw even at low 4% but then a noob used the second plug, even though there was another stall completely empty and the speed dropped to 125 … (not 150 which I would expect from a 300kw charger) Was planning to go EV only, but the high consumption is putting me of.
Charging curve will be interesting
Many things amaze me about Lotus' offering to the luxury EV "SUV" world. But what amazes me the most is the sticker price for something this high end. Let's just say it's competitive - if true!
If true, this will be a major hit, and this massive pivot for a legendary brand will be vindicated (economically ;)
Like BMW driver😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, 300 kW before Hyundai and Kia 😂
How quiet (cabin noise) this car compared to the BMW iX, MB EQS SUV and Audi Q8 etron? Thanks

Aw man, as someone who grew up loving lotus for its super lightweight sportscars, seeing it produce an ugly, congealed brick of a car is so depressing
Great review Bjørn. Best regards Martin
great entertaining review. beautiful car, especially the interior. great performance is expected and delivered.
Great to see good reviews. We need more cars people are willing to buy.
Richtig schickes Auto 🤗
wow! this car Thai price! :D when im ready to buy i dont mind waiting 12 months for it :D my BENZ costed almost similar and its a fossil! 😤
Thought the front grin reminded me of something 🤔 Then it struck me: Walter … from Walter and Grommet 😅
KEF speakers for the win.
Can someone tell me if Geely is available in Europe yet?
Nio has i think 30% investment in Lotus for more than 2 years now, There is a model named Lotus Nyo
I don't like seats with integrated head restraint because can be quite a problem for people with higher torso.
"korean siesta" 😂 I thought this is only Spain thing.
Very happy to meet you BjØrn ! Good charging test !
Cool car but, The car costs over 100k euro? 😂 Not so impressive then sorry.
I dont know why Mercedes, Audi, BMW and now Lotus wants so much money for these "luxury" cars, its like they are compensating for the government not letting them build performance ice cars again due to the green shift and emmision free world. Its not like it cost. Why cant they build cheaper cars with the same speed and range? Look what the Chinese is doing, they already have a plan how to beat europe in range, efficiency and charging speed for half the price without compromising that much quality.
Lotus, where?
This is just a Chinese sports van with Lotus branding on it.
Let us first of all remember what the Lotus brand was; a light sports car (spider or coupe), and not an elephant weighing 2000Kg or more.
2700kg... this is seriously scratching on my drivers license lol... 3500... ;)
Isn't Lotus originally from EPL ⚽️, bulldog and corgi 🐾wof wof country?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This car will Change Lotus brand completely. If they also bring more affordable cars below $90K they will have plenty of sales
I guess Lotus is hoping this will do for them what the Cayenne did for Porsche.
The only problem is Lotus is far more expensive than cayenne back in those days. If they can do $85K SUV then I think it will generate a lot more profit. I also think they just don’t have enough hands to do big production yet or maybe even enough space
Wow...the front looks like a Ferrari...
Don't love the design. Looks like a morph between EV6 and Marvel R. Two cars that are pretty ugly.
Seems like a cool car apart from that.
the racing green looks beautiful but that crease in the door looks a bit weird...
What a car!
You know shits serious WHEN Bjørn says holy maccaroni
Beyond awful design, far to much weight.
