Lotus For Me debuts as the PHEV version of Eletre, with 952 hp and 420 km EV range
Geely‘s Lotus today officially unveiled the physical model of its all-new plug-in hybrid SUV, the Lotus For Me. The vehicle, which recently completed its declaration with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), is the PHEV version of the all-electric Eletre SUV and is slated for a market launch in the first quarter of 2026.
The Lotus For Me maintains an exterior design consistent with the Eletre. It measures 5103mm in length, 2019mm in width, and 1636mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3019mm. The width-to-height ratio stands at 1.24, mirroring that of the Eletre. Performance enhancements include custom Pirelli P Zero 5 LTS tyres and Brembo front six-piston callipers, contributing to a braking distance of 33.9m. The rear of the vehicle also features an active spoiler.
According to previous MIIT filings, the Lotus For Me will offer a range of optional features, including a deployable lidar system, roof rack, various wheel designs, different brake calliper options, and an electric tow hook.
Under the hood, the Lotus For Me is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system comprising a 2.0T engine paired with front and rear dual electric motors. This setup delivers a combined maximum output of 952 horsepower, enabling the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3.3 seconds. Built on a 900V high-voltage platform, the vehicle has a 70 kWh battery pack, providing a CLTC pure electric range of 420 km. It supports 6C fast charging, allowing the battery to charge from 30% to 80% State of Charge (SOC) in 8 minutes.
For dynamic handling, the Lotus For Me’s chassis system includes dual-chamber, dual-valve air suspension with CCD (Continuous Damping Control) and adaptive damping, alongside an active stabiliser bar.
This Lotus For Me is the first PHEV model of the Lotus brand. For reference, the 2026 Eletre BEV was launched this September, starting at 77,600 USD.
