By Chinese Electric Vehicle Market News in EV Market News 162 views 21st Jul, 2025 Video Duration: N/A

The main differences between the Lotus Eletre 2025 and previous versions (2022–2024) are based on the available information and outlined as follows:

  • Updated Chip and Intelligent Driving Systems:
    The 2025 Lotus Eletre features a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, which enhances the performance of intelligent driving systems. This includes more advanced driver assistance features, such as lane change assist, adaptive cruise control, and collision warning, improving the accuracy and responsiveness of autonomous driving capabilities.
  • Price Adjustments:
    The 2025 Lotus Eletre is expected to be more affordable than its predecessors. In China, prices for the 2025 models, including the Eletre and Emeya, may drop to the range of 500,000–600,000 yuan (approximately $70,000–$85,000 USD), making the vehicle more accessible due to adjusted configurations and pricing strategies.
  • Software Improvements:
    The 2025 model is expected to receive updates to the Lotus Hyper OS software via over-the-air (OTA) updates. These updates aim to enhance the infotainment system, improve interface smoothness, and optimize driving dynamics.
  • New Trim Levels:
    For 2025, Lotus introduced additional trim levels, such as the 600 Touring Edition, 600 Luxury Edition, 600 Executive Edition, 900 Performance Edition, and 900 Executive Edition. These versions offer more personalization options, including upgraded interior materials and additional comfort features like heated steering wheels, seats, and mirrors.
  • Unchanged Technical Specifications:
    The core technical specifications, such as power output (603 hp for the base and S versions, 905 hp for the R), a 112 kWh battery, and range (up to 600 km for the base version and approximately 490 km for the R), remain unchanged from the 2023–2024 models.
  • Design and Aerodynamics:
    The exterior design and active aerodynamics (e.g., adjustable rear spoiler and air vents) remain largely unchanged, as they were already optimized in previous versions. However, new wheel designs and color options may be available.
  • Expanded Options for the European Market:
    For the European market, the 2025 model may offer more personalization options, such as additional interior trim packages and enhanced comfort features, to compete with other premium electric vehicles.

Conclusion:

The primary changes for the 2025 Lotus Eletre involve software updates, the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, improved driver assistance systems, and reduced pricing. Hardware specifications, such as power and battery, remain the same, but new trim levels and personalization options have been added. These updates make the model more competitive in the premium electric vehicle market while retaining Lotus’s sporty character.
