Launched: 2026 Lotus Eletre 600 & 900 – Up To 600 KM Range, From RM499,000 Onwards

The updated 2026MY Lotus Eletre 'hyper-SUV' is now opened for bookings locally in new 600 and 900 series guises with five variants available in total.

Just a week after opening the order books for the updated 2026MY Lotus Emeya EV saloon, it’s now the turn of its lifted twin the Eletre. Earlier today, Lotus Cars Malaysia officially announced that it’s now accepting orders for the 2026 Lotus Eletre 600 & 900.

Both the Eletre and Emeya share the same 800-volt platform architecture base and dual e-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) setups. The real difference lies in battery capacity as this EV SUV uses a larger 112 kWh pack versus the Emeya saloon’s smaller 102 kWh unit.

All variants accepts 22 kW AC charging inputs and, as best as we can recollect, up to 350 kW DC charging inputs too. For reference, the latter is slightly slower versus the Emeya’s ability to draw up to 420 kW DC charging inputs for its smaller battery pack mentioned.

All five variants boasts the ability to draw up 22 kW AC charing and, as we can recollect, up to 350 kW DC fast-charging inputs.

Similarly, the refreshed 2026MY Eletre range sees five variants on offer across two main lines – 600 and 900 series. The former consists of a ‘base’ Eletre 600, followed by an Eletre 600 GT SE trim, and an Eletre GT 600 Sport SE guise. The 900 series both an Eletre 900 Sport and Eletre 900 Sport Carbon guises on offer instead.

All 600 series variants share the same 612 HP and 710 NM outputs from their respective dual-motor setups, altogether enabling 0-100 KM/H sprints in just 4.5 secs and 258 KM/H V-Max. In terms of range, it reads at 530 KM (600 Sport SE), 535 KM (600 GT SE) and up to 600 KM (Eletre 600) (Note: all range figures are based on WLTP standards).

The 900 series duo up the ante with higher outputs of up to 918 HP and 985 NM, plus an added two-speed transmission, altogether enabling 0-100 KM/H sprints despatched in just 2.95 secs and hit a slightly higher 265 KM/H V-Max figure. The added power and speed of course comes at the price of range – up to 500 KM (WLTP).
