1. Body Style and Size Segment

The Lotus Emeya is a 5-door, 4 or 5-seater liftback sedan (often referred to as a “hyper-GT”). It sits in the luxury F-segment. Its dimensions are 5139mm (L) x 2005mm (W) x 1464mm (H), with a wheelbase of 3069mm, making it a substantial vehicle.

2. Platform Architecture, Voltage, Range & Efficiency

The Emeya is built on Geely’s Electric Premium Architecture (EPA), which is an 800V platform. It features a 102 kWh (98.9 kWh usable) lithium-ion battery. The WLTP range is up to 610 km (depending on variant), and it supports rapid DC charging up to 350 kW, capable of adding significant range in minutes.

3. Technical Capabilities

Equipped with an NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chip, the Emeya boasts a comprehensive suite of ADAS features, including 34 sensors, multiple cameras, and LiDAR for 360-degree perception. This enables advanced driver assistance functions, and the platform is designed for future over-the-air (OTA) updates towards higher levels of autonomous driving. Active aerodynamics further enhance performance and efficiency.

4. Interior Quality and Storage Capacity

The interior is luxurious, featuring sustainable materials like a new luxury thread from repurposed fashion fibers, alongside Nappa leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber. It offers comfortable seating, including heated, ventilated, and massaging functions. Boot space is 509 liters (429 liters for 4-seater models), complemented by a 34-liter frunk for charging cables.

5. App Functionality

The Lotus Cars app offers extensive remote vehicle management, including real-time updates on location, battery level, and range. Users can remotely control charging, climate, and access key sharing. OTA software updates keep the car’s features current, and the app provides connectivity services and community features.

6. Pros and Cons

Pros: Thrilling acceleration and performance, ultra-fast 800V charging, luxurious and high-tech interior. Cons: Significant curb weight for a Lotus, high price point, real-world range may vary.

7. Overall Summary

The 2025 Lotus Emeya is a strong contender in the electric luxury GT segment, offering a compelling blend of Lotus’s performance DNA with cutting-edge EV technology. While it brings supercar-level acceleration and an opulent, feature-rich interior, its considerable weight and price may position it as a more direct rival to the Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air rather than traditional, lightweight Lotus sports cars.
