2025 Lotus Emeya starts at 106,400 euros

In September 2023, Lotus premiered its first all-electric coupe limousine, the Lotus Emeya, with a few photos, without revealing many details about the car. Delivery starts in Q3, and now we know how much it will cost.

Lotus Emeya is powered by two electric motors with a total output of 905 hp (666 kW) and 726 lb-ft (985 Nm) of torque. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.78 seconds with a top speed of 256 km/h (159 mph). It is equipped with a 102 kWh battery which, thanks to a 350kW DC fast charger, enables a range of 150 kilometers in 5 minutes of charging. The battery will be charged to 80 percent in just 18 minutes.

Buyers will be able to choose from six body colors: Boreal Grey, Fireglow Orange, Solar Yellow, Akoya White, Stellar Black and Kaimu Grey. The car in the photos is finished in Solar Yellow with contrasting black A-pillars that “blend” with the black roof. At the back are a thin light bar that extends along the entire length, and an active rear wing that increases downforce and improves handling at high speeds.

Inside, the driver-focused cockpit is equipped with carbon fiber seats trimmed in white luxury sustainable upcycled fabric, which combined with black fabric covers parts of the dashboard and door panels. In front of the driver are the steering wheel with the lower flat part, as well as the centrally located display.

When it comes to price, Emeya will be offered in three versions: Emeya, Emeya S and Emeya R. The price of the entry model starts at 106,400 euros, the Emeya S starts at 126,950 euros, and the Emeya R starts at 150,990 euros.

Tesla Model Y as a two-seater

France has about 6.5 million commercial vehicles, so Tesla decided to offer French businessmen a car that offers an additional alternative for transporting goods or as an emergency vehicle, the Tesla Model Y.

Some European countries have different taxes that apply to different types of vehicles, so manufacturers try to adapt and offer a car that will fall into the category of commercial vehicles with zero emissions. The new version of the Model Y, without the rear seats, does just that. “Tesla has developed the Model Y as a two-seater with a cargo volume of 2,158 liters and a range of 565 kilometers. This model meets the requirements for commercial vehicle taxation. This ecological and efficient solution offers an additional alternative to professional mobility, either for the transport of goods or as an intervention vehicle,” Clement Maguet posted on LinkedIn.

Tesla is not the first brand to turn a four-seater into a commercial vehicle. Other manufacturers do the same to avoid higher taxes. It is not known how much the vehicle will cost.
