Lotus has unveiled the new Emeya sedan, an all-electric four-door GT that will serve as the brand’s latest flagship model. Highlights include more than 900 horsepower in top-spec trim and a sprint to 62 mph in less than three seconds. The new 2025 Lotus Emeya will rival the forthcoming all-electric Corvette sedan.
The streamlined exterior of the 2025 Lotus Emeya incorporates a number of active aerodynamic features, including an active front grille, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler. Inside, there’s an array of eco-conscious materials, including “a new luxury thread made from repurposed fibres from the fashion industry,” as well as materials like aluminum Alcantara, Nappa leather, and more. Audio entertainment is courtesy of a KEF stereo, while a 55-inch augmented-reality head-up display is optional. Seating capacity is capped at five with the available rear bench equipped.
The top-spec model features dual electric motors producing 905 horsepower and 727 pound-feet of torque, with a two-speed transmission for the rear motor. Put it all together, and it’s enough to propel the 2025 Lotus Emeya from a standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 2.8 seconds. Top speed in this configuration is set at more than 155 mph. The 102 kWh battery will also add 93 miles of range in five minutes when connected to a 350kW DC fast charger, while hitting 80-percent range in 18 minutes. Lower-spec trims are expected to dole out 603 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque.
Far from the featherweight sports cars which Lotus is typically known for producing, the sizable heft of the 2025 Lotus Emeya is managed by an electronically controlled air suspension system that self-adjusts to suit the road surface and provide a smooth ride.
Production of the 2025 Lotus Emeya is set to kick off next year. Further details will be released in Q4, including market availability and pricing.

There’s no information about pricing yet, but either way I’m not sure how this is supposed to be a Corvette competitor.
Looks like a Hyundai Sonata N sport competitor
GM, please don’t make a Corvette with 4 doors! God help us.
Corvettes are sports cars and built their reputation on that fact. They are not grocery getters for my grandparents. Watering down the corvette legacy is not a good idea in my opinion. Every car in history that is collectable is a coupe or convertible. 4 doors are ugly utility vehicles. And SUVs are very poor at that task. I will never understand the fascination with them. JMHO
So you think that Lotus is any different by offering a four door GT? They are doing what you don’t want Chevy to do with the Corvette by offering a four door. Times have change and the market had changed with the times so it is a business decision rather you like it or not.
This car looks promising by the specs and looks. Looks like a potential benchmark.
Johnls_39 you are right, times have changed. Cars are not considered as works of art by the masses anymore.most people consider them to be nothing more than a transportation appliance. That seems to be reserved for people who truly appreciate fine design and elements of style and beauty. They all look the same now for the most part. SUV’s can barely be identified by their owners anymore in large parking lots. Google any list of the most beautiful cars ever made by how many years or how many in the list. Not a single one will be a 4 door or an SUV. Even today, the halo car of every manufacturer is either a coupe or convertible. It’s a fact that all the higher end cars are designed as a coupe and then th they squeeze in a couple more doors for the people who have children, at the expense of its looks.
The enormity of the stupidity of a four door corvette overwhelming.
