In trying to define the unique body style of the exceptional Lotus Eletre, the natural inclination is to find a close comparison. The Eletre is so unique there is no official term for its body style, but for now, the term hyper-SUV is the best fit. Part supercar, part SUV, the Lotus Eletre is no ubiquitous crossover but something above and beyond. The closest competitor is the Lamborghini Urus, which is similar in size and offers more than 600 horsepower. Aside from dimensions and seating configurations, that’s where the similarities end. Where the Lotus Eletre is sleek and future-forward, the Lambo is stout and classically styled with jet fighter cues. We can’t overlook the most obvious difference; the Lotus Eletre is a pure electric powerhouse that puts the Lambo Urus’ conventional gas V8 engine to shame. Explore our side-by-side comparison and discover the one-of-a-kind features that make the Lotus Eletre the only hyper-SUV worth raving about.
Our experts compare the Lotus Eletre and Lambo Urus for a side-by-side investigation that reveals the vast differences between the two supercars. Yes, they both deliver more than 600 horsepower and can fit four to five passengers depending on the back seat configuration, but that’s where the similarities end. The Lotus Eletre is a pure electric, future-forward study in modern exotics, while the Lambo Uru maintains its classic roots with gas-guzzling V8 power and fighter jet aesthetics. Explore our comparison to discover more features that make these two super-vehicles worthy contenders.
Under the hood of every Lambo Urus is a roaring 657-horsepower twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine. You’ll be able to jump from zero to 60mpg in just 3.1 seconds and burn a lot of fuel from the gas tank while you are at it. Full-time all-wheel drive helps with impressive acceleration and also provides some robust off-road abilities. The Lotus Eletre, on the other hand, can deliver up to 905 horsepower with the most beefed-up electric motor and battery combination without a single drop of gas. Technically, you can go further on one charge in the Lotus Eletre with a 373-mile range, while the gas-guzzling Lambo can make it 277 miles on one tank.
The Lotus Eletre takes a different approach. To match its impressive electric technology, the cabin design is minimalist and features ambient lighting and thin coast-to-coast digital displays, called ribbons, that extend behind the driver’s wheel and across the passenger side. The ribbons are interrupted in the center by a dazzling 14-inch beveled touchscreen that can retract for easier access to the center console when needed.
The Lambo Urus and Lotus Eletre provide vastly different cabin experiences and interior design. Which do you prefer, the timeless jet-fighter-inspired cockpit or a sleek future-forward style that matches the advanced technology in the Lotus Eletre?
The Lambo Uru sticks with its roots with cool jet-fighter aesthetics like a red flip-up cover that reveals the start/stop engine button and a center console full of physical buttons and switches. You can access the connected and convenient features through dual screens, and the layout hugs the front seats for an immersive experience.
The features that really set the Lotus Eletre above and beyond the Lambo Urus is cutting-edge technology. From the differences in touchscreens inside the cabin to the autonomous driving that is so advanced, it’s practically illegal. The Lotus Eletre is capable of Level 4 autonomous driving, far above the legal limit of Level 2 in most countries. It is also capable of over-the-air updates, so it is future-proof and will always have the newest software automatically installed without driver input.
The Lambo Urus has no such level of autonomous driving. It has night vision camera capabilities but is woefully behind the sophisticated series of cameras and retractable LiDAR sensors that come equipped on the Eletre.
