Most Helpful Review

A Super SUV Sports car you can never forget

Driving experience - It is made for Indian roads, surely. Pickup is next level with a powerful engine reaching 100 km/h within 4 seconds. I haven't reached the top speed on Indian highways. Looks - Metallic and attractive body, upgraded sportier design. Headlight, taillight, and bumpers are redesigned and give a wow feel. Performance - 8 Drive modes with well-tuned damping & suspension, even the big potholes don't hurt. Mileage is around 8 kmpl and less in the cities of India, so quite a disappointment here, but safety is good at this price. Pros - Comfortability sitting, many features inside, so a perfect SUV as compared to other segments. Cons: I would go for the electric model if provided. Good Mileage could be challenging in the cities of India.

Great experience with the driving

I have driven this car 25km, and here is my experience. The Lotus Emeya looks very good and is very fast. The car has 2 electric motors and has 905 hp of power. I had a great experience with the driving, and I love the car. It's comfortable as well. The Exterior is great. Over all it's a great package. If you have 2.57 cr lying around, just get this. Thank you.
