Best Every day using sports car

Best car money can buy I driven it about 80 km Hybrid mode is amazing in that mode it gave mileage about 60 km per ltr With v8 engine it gave mileage about 8km per ltr The interior is so sporty and luxury The best feature is the roof.

Yes this is the first Review !

Exploring the Lotus Eletre as an Indian car reviewer, I'm intrigued by its bold venture into the electric SUV space. From a local standpoint, it impeccably marries luxury and eco-consciousness, aligning with India's burgeoning interest in electric vehicles. The Eletre's standout features include a cutting-edge electric drivetrain, offering an impressive range perfect for city commuting. Inside, the cabin radiates sophistication with top-tier materials and advanced technology. However, a noteworthy downside is the limited charging infrastructure in certain Indian regions, which poses a real challenge. While the Eletre's performance is praiseworthy, its premium price may deter potential buyers. Lotus strikes a commendable balance between innovation and style, catering to India's evolving automotive scene, though the cost and charging infrastructure remain crucial factors for prospective customers to weigh. Lastly, I would like to share that, there are many more EVs present in this price segment so take into consideration that you get the EV that you want.

Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome

Good very good I bought it 9 years ago and it is working now just like a pro it didn't disappoint me Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome East and West Defender is the best But 1 problem is that is expensive but according to its price it is just fantastic No words for it The waiting period is very much but when you get it you will forget all the other cars and you will again and again just wow! Thank you Have a nice day
