New ‘600’ and ‘900’ model naming reflects electrifying power output
Historic GT SE and Sport trim level names return
Revised line-up offers customers convenient choice in luxury and tech or pronounced sportiness
New model range, impressive performance, ground-breaking charging performance
Available to order now, debuts this summer at Lotus retailers
Manila, 3 July 2025
With the arrival of the new model year, Lotus has revamped the line-up for its Eletre hyper-SUV and Emeya hyper-GT. Thanks to a revised model range, Lotus now offers customers more convenience, clarity and tailored customization in configuring their perfect Eletre or Emeya. Key novelty is the ‘600’ and ‘900’ model names, that clearly reflects the electrifying power output of the new models. At the same time, legendary equipment level references like GT SE and SPORT from Lotus’ rich heritage return to the present.
New line-up
Effective immediately, Lotus offers the Eletre hyper-SUV and Emeya hyper-GT as ‘600’ or ‘900’, a reference to the two power output versions of both models. Subsequently Lotus pairs those new versions with clearly identifiable, predefined equipment levels containing popular options and choices. Meaning customers can now express a specific preference for pronounced sportiness or rather a more luxurious and technology-led specification.
Recently, the Lotus Emira sports car preceded the Eletre and Emeya by referencing trim level from the legendary past back into the current range, introducing the Emira Turbo SE. Lotus now continues that strategy with the completely new line-up for the Eletre and Emeya, giving legendary naming’s like SPORT and GT SE a modern new appearance.
As a result, the Lotus Eletre is now available in five clearly defined trim levels: Eletre 600, 600 GT SE and 600 SPORT SE, as well as 900 SPORT and the Eletre 900 SPORT CARBON as the absolute flagship. The Lotus Emeya follows the same nomenclature.
Complementing these well-defined trim levels, customers can subsequently further customise their car to their own personal taste thanks to a wide selection of optional packages, individual options and colours. New colours in the pallet are Zenith White and Akoya White for the Eletre, while interior-wise customers can now also opt for the Quartz and Jasper interior themes with the new LOTUSWEAR Performance Fabric for the seats.
Overview of main standard features per model
As a result, the newly defined model line-up for the Lotus Eletre and Emeya now offers more convenience and tailored customisation with specific highlights for each trim level:
Eletre 600: 450 kW (603 bhp) dual-motor, 4WD, 112 kWh battery pack, 22kW onboard charger, active air suspension with Continuous Damping Control, 20-inch wheels, torque vectoring by brake, LED matrix headlights, KEF PREMIUM 15 speaker audio, 29″ HUD, 4 zone climate control, Jasper interior theme with LOTUSWEAR Performance Fabric for the seats
Emeya 600 SPORT SE: Lotus dynamic handling pack, active rear spoiler, active rear diffuser and active front air dam, massaging & ventilated front seats, soft-close doors
Emeya 900 SPORT: 675 kW (905 hp) dual-motor, 2-speed transmission, Lotus dynamic handling pack, active rear spoiler, Quartz interior theme with LOTUSWEAR Performance Fabric for the seats
Emeya 900 SPORT CARBON: extended exterior carbon pack, extended interior carbon pack, active rear diffuser, active front air dam, massaging & ventilated front seats, soft-close doors
Unrivaled performance, For The Drivers
Although much has changed and has been improved for the new model year, the unrivalled performance of the Lotus Eletre and Emeya has remained untouched, resulting in the two models still being the benchmark in their respective segments. As a ‘600’, both feature a 450 kW (603 hp) all-electric dual-motor powertrain and all-wheel drive as standard, a combination that guarantees stunning performance. With a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4.15 seconds for the Emeya 600 GT (Eletre 600: 4.5 sec) and a top speed of 250 km/h (Eletre: 256 km/h) as just some striking examples.
Things can always go faster, and the new Eletre and Emeya ‘900’ provide unmistakable evidence, representing superlatives in terms of performance. Both rely on a 675 kW (905 hp) strong dual-motor powertrain, providing the Emeya 900 with an acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h in a stunning 2.78 seconds (Eletre 900: 2.95 sec) and a top speed of 256 km/h (Eletre 900: 265 km/h).
No less impressive are their electrifying range and charging performances, which boost the Eletre and Emeya to the top performers in their respective segments. With a maximum range of 610 km (WLTP; Eletre: 600 km) they are also ideally suited for long electric road trips. And when it is time for a charging stop, the Emeya, for example, also proves itself as an absolute top performer in this area. Thanks to its 800V battery technology with Advanced Lotus Hyper Charging it can be charged from 10-80% in around 14 minutes (under perfect conditions) using a 400kW DC charger (Eletre: 20 minutes from 10-80% at a 350kW DC charger), giving it the status of one of the fastest-charging EVs in the world.
Eletre and Emeya: two of a kind
Like every Lotus, the Eletre – a pure electric performance SUV – and Emeya – a pure electric hyper-GT – are first and foremost cars ‘For The Drivers’. Their DNA is 100% Lotus, with exceptional, class-leading ride and handling, steering and aero performance. With their sleek design, powerful electric motors and luxurious interior, the Eletre and Emeya set new standards in the world of electric vehicles. The two share common characteristics like cutting-edge technology, a sophisticated design, exceptional performance and unparalleled driving experiences, whether you’re seeking exhilarating speed, supreme comfort or advanced safety features. A signature element of the Eletre and Emeya designs is their ‘porosity’ – the aerodynamic principle of air flowing through the vehicle as well as under, over and around it. Porosity was at the heart of the Lotus Evija’s design, is integral to the Emira, and has provided clear inspiration for both the Eletre and Emeya.
High-quality interiors with luxury materials and tactile surfaces, a pristine fit and finish, customisable ambient lighting, an intelligent driver cockpit and intuitive infotainment systems create a premium and comfortable cabin environment, with features like ventilated seats with massage enhancing the overall immersive driving experience.
Detailed specification and pricing on the new Eletre and Emeya line-up is available at www.lotuscars.com, or at your nearest Lotus Centre.
Further information about the Lotus Eletre and Emeya can be found on the Lotus Media Site.

Vista Land proudly celebrates the topping-off ceremony of Canyon Hill, its condominium property along Pacdal Road in the Summer Capital of the Philippines.
Canyon Hill is the third addition to the Hill Series in Baguio City, following Brenthill on Yangco Road and Pinehill located at Outlook Drive. Positioned on a 3,000 sqm. land, the residential development continues the Vista Land vision of building modern mountain retreats that harmonize with the iconic cityscape.
Canyon Hill is the third addition to Vista Land’s Hill Series in Baguio City, following Brenthill on Yangco Road and Pinehill located at Outlook Drive.
The nine-storey Canyon Hill features a low-density unit spread per floor and studio to two-bedroom layouts—including options for balconies that look out to the panoramic Cordillera mountain range. Drawing inspiration from alpine architecture, it embraces natural lighting, free-flowing ventilation, and scenic surroundings to create a serene yet sophisticated urban escape.
A central address in the City of Pines
Canyon Hill enjoys premium access to the city’s most celebrated destinations, minutes away from heritage landmarks and commercial hubs. The development is also positioned near educational institutions, including Brent International School, Saint Louis University, and the University of the Philippines Baguio, making it a compelling address for students, professionals, retirees, and relocating families.
Canyon Hill’s state-of-the-art amenities include a gym, a function hall, a game room, pocket gardens, and lounge areas, all integrated to promote interaction and well-being.
The peaceful ambience and gently sloping pine-lined roads offer residents a sense of calm without compromising connectivity. Major access roads such as Kennon Road and Marcos Highway directly link the area to Metro Manila, which is now more accessible due to the extended NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX corridor. This enhances the appeal of Canyon Hill not only as a permanent residence but also as a weekend retreat for those in search of a respite from the fast-paced metro.
Vertical living and amenities for active lifestyles
Canyon Hill is envisioned to foster an active vertical community with state-of-the-art amenities, including a gym, a function hall, a game room, pocket gardens, and lounge areas, all integrated to promote interaction and well-being.
Smart-ready features, round-the-clock security, and property management systems provide residents of Canyon Hill with security and peace of mind.
Smart-ready features, round-the-clock security, and property management systems provide residents with security and peace of mind. At ground level, commercial spaces will offer essential services such as cafes and convenience stores, ensuring day-to-day needs are within reach.
Each unit is crafted with efficient configurations, contemporary finishes, and expansive windows for maximized light and airflow. Whether a compact studio or a spacious two-bedroom with a balcony, every space supports comfort, function, and relaxation.
Canyon Hill is ideally positioned to meet real estate demand, with its central location and residential offerings making it an attractive option for homebuyers and investors looking at income opportunities through leasing arrangements. Given the sustained tourism in the city and the limitations on modern accommodations that offer both comfort and convenience, the condominium property is likely to appreciate over time.
Officer-in-charge Voltaire John Belacha welcomes business partners and investors to the momentous topping off ceremony of Canyon Hill.
