Lotus Revamps Eletre & Emeya Lineup for 2026 MY

For the 2026 model year update, Lotus has revamped both the Eletre and Emeya lineups, featuring new 600 and 900 variants.

Sino-British boutique marque Lotus is gearing up to launch the 2026 model year (2026 MY) version of the Eletre and Emeya this summer. While the update is not as elaborate as a proper facelift, it brings a host of new and upgraded features to the EV twin, including a revamped lineup featuring two new dual-motor AWD variants for both models.

The two new variants are known as the 600 and the 900, with the former featuring a dual-motor AWD setup rated at up to 603 HP (450 kW). Meanwhile, the 900 is the new top-spec variant for both the new Eletre and Emeya, featuring up to 905 HP (675 kW) of power.

All those big numbers translate into more impressive performance figures, with both the new Eletre 600 and Emeya 600 capable of hitting the century mark in 4.5 seconds and 4.15 seconds, respectively. Despite being faster in a short sprint, the Emeya 600 gets a lower V-max of 250 KM/H, while its SUV twin’s limiter is capped higher at 256 KM/H instead.

While opting for the 900 variants won’t grant you faster top speeds, the Eletre 900 does get to 100 KM/H significantly faster at only 2.95 seconds, while the lighter Emeya 900 edges its SUV twin by just 0.17 seconds at 2.78 seconds.

Battery-wise, both the updated Eletre and Emeya retain the same unit used on their predecessors, with the former’s 112-kWh unit granting it up to 600 KM of WLTP range, while the latter’s smaller 102-kWh unit provides a slightly longer WLTP range of 610 KM.

Besides the two new AWD variants, Lotus has also established six “clearly defined trim levels” for the 2026 MY Eletre and Emeya, namely 600, 600 GT, 600 GT SE, 600 Sport SE, 900 Sport, and 900 Sport Carbon. While the availability of these trims varies by market, Lotus claims the new naming convention will help buyers to easily differentiate all the trim levels offered to both models.

For starters, both the baseline Eletre and Emeya 600 come standard with full LED lighting units, 20-inch rolling stocks, and an active air suspension system. They’re joined by a slew of on-board amenities such as a 29-inch head-up display (51-inch for the Emeya), a 15-speaker audio system, a four-zone climate control system, as well as LotusWear Performance Fabric seats, to name a few.

Moving on to the next variants, the 600 GT gets larger 22-inch wheels (21-inch for the Emeya) and six-piston brake callipers, while the 600 GT SE further ups the ante by coming standard with an electrochromic glass roof, illuminated side sills, adjustable ambient lighting, and an upgraded 23-speaker audio system. The 600 Sport SE, on the other hand, adds several extra bits, such as a handling package, an active rear spoiler, soft-close doors, and upgraded front seats featuring ventilation and massage functions.

As for the 900 variants, the 900 Sport is essentially a slightly stripped-down version of the 600 Sport SE variant, while the top-spec 900 Sport Carbon sits as the most hardcore variant, featuring tons of carbon fibre bits inside and out, a composite hood, and many more.

Both the 2026 MY Lotus Eletre and Emeya are now open for order in their native UK market, with prices starting from £84,990 (RM492,177) onwards. Deliveries are expected to commence this summer in the UK, so expect the updated models to hit the global markets sometime later in the near future.
