REVIEW: A huge first drive this morning - the Lotus Eletre ⚡ Is the firm's first SUV as dynamic as Lotus models of the past?
Braking is equally assured. While carbon-ceramic discs with huge 10-pot front calipers will be an option, all the cars we’re trying here have the standard steel discs. While the carbons would obviously bite harder, the regular set coped well with the sort of thermal loadings that most buyers are unlikely to ever inflict, resisting fade well.
Differing levels of lift-off regen can be selected using a steering wheel-mounted paddle , but even in the strongest setting, the mechanical braking feels a little gentle.I had no chance to analyse the Eletre’s ride compliance in depth, the only bumps I could find being the track’s serrated apex kerbs, but it’s clear that there’s a wide spread between the extremes of the air springs and adaptive dampers.
The R’s additional Track mode automatically lowers the air-adjustable ride height to its lowest position while turning the adjustable settings up to 10. To be fair, all of the cars I drove were still pre-production and Lotus says the final European dynamic settings are still being decided. There was also the challenge of sapping 35deg C heat and high humidity, causing tyre pressures to rise rapidly under hard use.When I did get to drive an R on fresher and cooler rubber, it felt much more neutral, especially when turned in to a corner under braking. It also felt very stable when asked to change direction at speed.
