Lotus Eletre Electric SUV Exterior And Interior 

The Lotus Eletre boasts quite an aggressive front end with arrow-shaped LED DRLs and LED projector headlamps mounted lower down on the bumper. To aid aerodynamic efficiency, the Eletre gets active front grilles and air dams. Around the side, you’ll find flush-fitted door handles and air vents just behind the front wheel arches that allows the air to pass around the SUV efficiently.
