This is actually made by Volvo, Lotus and Geely all working together.

Very cool and kudos to Lotus to give your own car, not sharing with a Barbie influencer! Great video!

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.

Finally, a car where 800v architecture shines! 300kW is insane!

This one looks like a winner.

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.

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.

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.

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.......!

That charging is insane, not only for the peak power but more for how long it sustains. Crazy

I prefer the model X ! The (Chinese) Lotus is bloated and simultaneously cramped inside.

Only thing is it ended up looking like an Xpeng. Had high hopes for this one, when the concept looked like an Urus.

Lotus was very lucky. It rely on Chinese market and the best supply chain in the world. A bright future ahead.

Very happy to meet you BjØrn ! Good charging test !

congratz to 300k subscribers, Bjørn!

The KEF sound system is amazing! Tried it myself and it is WAY better than the EQS’s Burmester and Volvo’s B&W

The interior looks nice.

Congrats on 300 k subs, Bjørn! 🥳

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%

Manual spoiler scene: Priceless! 😂

Good for Geely/Lotus to launch it before Macan&Audi Q6 BEV

Thanks Bjørn. Nice video. Is there one pedal drive and how is the pedestrian sound at low speed?

Very nice test. Interesting and definitely it's going to be my car! 👍

What a beast man...great one Bjorn

The left side is the right side if the charging port is near the rear, but if port is near the *front* then the right side is the right side. This way, charge cable can reach easily from a standard charging stall layout regardless of nose-in-stall or rear-in-stall vehicle orientation.

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.

Good job, Bjorn !!

I like it in yellow and green from the outside. Inside dayum nice interior. But that price: understandable for a Lotus yet it will be not for many people I guess. Fun to see Dutch plates at the event.

Great to see good reviews. We need more cars people are willing to buy.

Great review Bjørn. Best regards Martin

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 ;)

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

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!

What an amazing car ☺ thanks for the video 😊

your sample song for testing the speakers was distrusting..lol

Thanks. Cool!

Does it charge faster when you put the spoiler up?

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).

I’ve had a look at it and the basic Eletre might be interesting. Same price as a polestar 3, just within budget. Curious about the interior for that version.

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!

KEF speakers for the win.

I hope you will have this car for extended period so you can test it fully....

Hey Bjørn did the car you tested have Lotus Dynamic Handling Pack, which is a £6,600 option here in the UK?

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

Please do a range test with an EQS 450 SUV. I bet it will be quit good in summer.

How quiet (cabin noise) this car compared to the BMW iX, MB EQS SUV and Audi Q8 etron? Thanks

The first Tesla was a elongated Lotus Elise, I wonder if Lotus made a partnership with Tesla back then, where would they be now?

Are the 6 holes in the front under the license plate air intakes?

How many miles / kms did you get out of the charge before topping back up?

Thought it was a EV6 MY BEAUTIFUL CAR ❤❤❤❤

You know shits serious WHEN Bjørn says holy maccaroni

@@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.

I understand Taycan split battery when charging on 400 volt. They describe this in their Macan info for the upcomming EV. So its like charging to 400 volt batteries in paralell. Great review of the Eletre

Ordinarily I loathe SUVs, but this is an SUV that is gorgeous. Well done Lotus/Geely. The one thing I can't stand about interactive cars though is the amount they beep unecessarily. I would be looking to turn that down or out. My own ID3 has been beeping at me all afternoon simply because the washer liquid just needs topping up today. It actually spoilt an entire run of errands, where I wasn't able to top up the fluid until I reached home. A little less of the freaking beeping and messages, please.

Charge port located backwards on the left front fender (similar to my Jaguar iPace), is a problem with Tesla superchargers, causing you to block a charger. At least the Lotus won't be at the charger long!

Hi Bjorn, I am following you now for .... omg 12 years I think before I bough my first Tesla 11 years ago. About 1,5 years ago I made a reservation for a Fisker Ocean but I now have real doubts about this car. I noticed the Lotus but did not have a good look at it (guess I was blinded by Fisker). To my opinion this car can certainly compete against Tesla Model S? What is your take on this car?

did you notice the badge in the hood?it says LOTUS NYO because Lotus it's owned by a chinese car company Geely and they still have some disputes regarding the name
