2025 Lotus Eletre 600 GT SE

The Lotus Eletre 600 GT SE is a near-new example of the brand's first SUV, arriving in Stellar Black with just 10 miles recorded — effectively a new car without the new-car lead time. At £100,555, the GT SE sits in the middle of the Eletre 600 lineup, adding a premium specification layer over the standard 600 while keeping the same dual-motor electric drivetrain that produces 595 bhp and 524 ft-lb of torque.

The performance credentials are genuine: 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds and a 160 mph top speed from a vehicle of this size and mass. Lotus's engineering choices — active rear-wheel steering, 48V active anti-roll bars, and adaptive air suspension — mean the Eletre actually handles with a sharpness that most rival performance SUVs can't match, which matters given the Lotus badge it carries.

Stellar Black is an understated but effective choice, letting the bodywork's sculptural surfacing read cleanly rather than being overwhelmed by a louder colour. The GT SE specification typically adds enhanced audio, advanced driver assistance features, and upgraded interior appointments over the base 600. With the Eletre now well-established in the range and this car essentially undriven, it's a clean entry into the top tier of the electric performance SUV segment from the only brand to have built its reputation entirely on driver dynamics.
