Don't handsome you cut me.
We have all heard that "it is better to buy a joint venture than to buy domestic", but how many people really bought it? I want to say... I really have to buy domestic! For example, this "domestic" new car just released today.
Lotus Eletre. (Pronounced similar to "goose to catch")
Don't worry, this is not a mess of new forces, some people may not know, K brother briefly introduced, Lotus is a British sports car brand, founded in 1948, in 2017 was acquired by Geely, and then embarked on the road to the peak of car students.
From a small workshop, it has become an international factory covering an area of 147,000 square meters!
By the way, this factory is in Wuhan, and in the future, it will also become the global headquarters of Lotus, integrating production, manufacturing, research and development, and operation...
All in all, Geely holds Lotus and produces it in China, which is not a domestic car!
That being said, the design of the Lotus Eletre car was actually completed by the British team, after all, the experience of building sports cars is much older than in China.
So you can see that even if the car is pure electricity, four doors, and SUV, these are things that are not compatible with the traditional Lotus element, and when combined, they live... Sure enough, it didn't look like a Lotus at all.
But the core essence of Lotus is still reflected in this car.
For example, the body covering uses a lot of aluminum alloy material, and all the black trim you can see is real carbon fiber, which is the ultimate lightweight!
The hood, front and rear wheel arches with pores conducive to air flow, the door handles are concealed in design, the rear double-plate spoiler, and the non-polar variable active intake grille under the front of the car, which is the aerodynamics of the supercar level!
The most exaggerated thing is that Lotus has made a flip-over design for various radars and cameras on the roof and body, which can be put away when not in use, further reducing wind resistance, and the appearance value is also higher, unlike some new forces with long horns on their heads.
Speaking of which, according to the official description, the car's sensors have track-level assisted driving capabilities. Brother K did not understand, is it the meaning of automatic brushing circles??
To tell the truth, Brother K is already looking forward to Lotus Eletre's performance at major tracks. Although its body size is very large, the length, width and height of 5103/2019/1630, wheelbase 3019, larger than the ideal ONE...
But it has front and rear dual motors, output of more than 600 horses, 100 km/h acceleration in just 2.95 seconds!
Standard adaptive air suspension + continuous variable electromagnetic shock absorption, optional rear wheel steering, active anti-roll bar, 23-inch wheel hub, 10-piston carbon ceramic brakes and other equipment, this set down, on the track simply grill a steak, with a horse sashimi should not be a problem.
In general, the appearance of Lotus Eletre K brother is not faulty, if you have to pick the bone in the egg, I feel that the design of the tail is slightly sloppy, not amazing enough.
What is more interesting is that this taillight can emit four colors of light, which can be used to display the charging status, which is still quite novel.
After talking about the exterior, as for the interior, it has nothing to do with Lotus.
I think it's more like a Geely, or a pole krypton. Especially the big screen in the middle, just looking at it makes me feel stuck to smoke.
Fortunately, this screen can be put away, it should be considered that when the track will affect the attention, anyway, it can be put away.
The LCD dashboard is very slender, strictly speaking, it should be called the instrument strip, only 3 cm high, the main co-pilot has a piece in front of each, and there is an atmosphere light bar on it, which can produce interactive effects.
The steering wheel looks slim, but you can trust Lotus unconditionally, and it definitely feels good enough to fry! The light gold buttons also look delicate, with a light luxury with a little cyberpunk feel.
In addition to the steering wheel, there are many similar gold decorations in the car.
For example, the horn cover is also golden, the stereo is kef from the United Kingdom, to tell the truth, Brother K is also the first time to hear this name, it is said to be a gem brand. High-end models will be equipped with up to 23 horns and power up to 2160 watts! Instantly it felt like Baohua was not fragrant.
In the rear row, this one in the official picture is a four-seat version, so it is two independent sports seats, with armrests, storage compartments, cup holders and multimedia screens in the middle, which is very honorable. In addition, the regular five-seat version is also available as an option.
The charging and battery life problems that you are most concerned about, Lotus Eletre adopts the most advanced 800V architecture, supports 350 kilowatts of tributary fast charging, only takes 20 minutes to replenish 400 kilometers, and the total cruising range reaches 600 kilometers. (WLTP standard)
At present, it is only left to [daily driving, is the seat of this car comfortable enough?] This question can't be examined, and the rest looks perfect!
So the question is, how much is the right price?
To say a terrible thing, you can refer to it... Lotus released last year a new generation of mid-range rear-drive sports car Emira, sold for 858,000, the engine is asked Mercedes to buy 2.0T.
Eletre could never have been lower than this price, otherwise he would have buried his brother with his own hands.
But if the price is set high, it is also quite troublesome, after all, there are 1 million people in their hands, most of them are cayenne prey, to challenge the brand power of Porsche, Lotus still has a long way to go.
At present, the only thing that can be determined is that friends who want to buy Taycan, hurry up and take it!
Here's the car that Brother K has picked up
Whether it's spit or recommendation
We all gave our thoughts frankly
New attention to the car friends can look at it again!
