Lotus Enters the GCC Region with Award-Winning Eletre and Emeya Models

Lotus Technology Inc., a leader in intelligent luxury mobility, has officially entered the GCC region with the introduction of its award-winning models, the Lotus Eletre (SUV) and Emeya (GT Sedan). With the local homologation certification secured, Lotus has begun delivering the Eletre SUV, while reservations for the Emeya GT Sedan are also underway. This expansion marks a significant step for Lotus as it taps into a market celebrated for its passion for luxury, racing heritage, and cutting-edge technology.

Expanding Presence with New Showrooms and Personalized Services

Lotus is setting up new showrooms in prime locations across major cities in the GCC, offering customers the opportunity to test-drive and experience the renowned control and driving dynamics of Lotus vehicles. Both the Eletre and Emeya come with advanced intelligent driving software, providing a blend of performance and luxury that aligns with the GCC’s love for high-end, technologically advanced automobiles. The showrooms will also offer bespoke services, allowing for personalization and customization, especially for those interested in limited-edition models.

The Eletre SUV and Emeya GT Sedan are optionally equipped with state-of-the-art hardware supporting end-to-end intelligent driving services, which can be updated over the air (OTA). These advanced features are powered by Lotus Robotics, a subsidiary of Lotus Tech, which provides intelligent driving solutions to global OEMs, including software, cloud toolchains, integrated hardware and software development, and intelligent driving operation solutions.

This SUV has garnered prestigious awards, including “SUV of the Year” by GQ and “Lifestyle Car of the Year” by Quattroruote, alongside the Red Dot product design award in 2023 and 2024. Its combination of performance, design, and technology makes it a standout choice for luxury SUV enthusiasts in the GCC.
