2025 Lotus Emeya S

The Emeya marks Lotus's first step into pure-electric motoring, and the S variant makes a compelling case for the platform. Sitting between the entry-level single-motor car and the eye-watering Emeya R, the S deploys dual motors and AWD to produce 603 PS and a 3.2-second 0–62 time — figures that would have been firmly exotic territory by Lotus's own historical standards. This 2025 example is VAT-qualifying with just 6,900 miles recorded, placing it firmly in ex-demonstrator territory and well below its original list price of around £100,000.

The addition of the Comfort Pack brings a more refined long-distance character to what is ostensibly a hyper-GT, rounding out the Emeya's 100 kWh battery range with features oriented toward occupant comfort rather than just performance. The dual-motor AWD system delivers traction in all conditions while retaining the rear-biased handling balance Lotus has calibrated into the chassis — a notable achievement for a car weighing over two tonnes.

At £63,900 with VAT recoverability available to business buyers, this represents a significant real-world discount on a car that is effectively brand new. For those considering the Emeya S new, this example makes the proposition considerably harder to ignore.
