Standard equipment for the Lotus Emeya includes matrix LED headlights, 20-inch alloy wheels, air suspension, keyless entry and start, a key card with NFC function, four-zone climate control, eight-way power adjustable front seats and heated front seats. There’s also a KEF 1380-watt premium sound system with 15 speakers plus a wireless charging pad as well as a 12.6-inch digital instrument panel and a 15.10-inch OLED central multimedia screen.

In keeping with Lotus' new focus on luxury the cabin has a premium look and feel. It takes the same styling from the Eletre and carries it over. That means a very slim instrument display and a very large central screen for the multimedia systems. The overall level of fit and finish is impressive and gives the Emeya an unmistakably high-end feeling.

The Lotus Emeya and Emeya S are equipped with a dual-motor electric powertrain making 450kW/710Nm. The Emeya R gets more powerful motors, which make 675kW/985Nm, and a two-speed transmission for faster acceleration.

Australian examples of the Lotus Emeya are offered with five seats. Space is good thanks to the long wheelbase and the rear seats are able to recline.

Lotus claims the Emeya and Emeya S can run 0-100km/h in a rapid 4.1 seconds, while the Emeya R takes just 2.7 seconds. Top speed for the Emeya is 250km/h, while the R is slightly faster at 256km/h.

Lotus claims the Emeya and Emeya S models have a WLTP range of between 500-610km, while the more powerful R can manage between 435-485km.
