Lotus introduces Eletre PHEV, featuring the quirky name: “For Me”

Lotus China has announced the arrival of the Eletre plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant for the Chinese market, bearing a rather peculiar name: For Me.

According to reports from CarNewsChina, the Lotus For Me is set for an official launch in the first quarter of 2026.

In terms of dimensions, the Eletre PHEV does not significantly differ from the EV version, measuring 5,103 mm in length, 2,019 mm in width, 1,636 mm in height, and with a wheelbase of 3,019 mm.

It is also equipped with Brembo braking systems with six-piston calipers in the front, an active spoiler, and custom Pirelli P Zero 5 LTS tires.

Handling has been improved with a dual-chamber, dual-valve suspension system featuring Continuous Damping Control (CDC), adaptive dampers, and an adaptive sway bar.

The plug-in hybrid system in the Lotus For Me consists of a 2.0-liter turbo engine paired with two electric motors (one for each axle).

The maximum power reaches 952 hp, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds.

With a 900V architecture, the 70 kWh battery can be charged from 30% to 80% in just 8 minutes.

The zero-emission range can reach up to 420 km (CLTC data).

Currently, Lotus has yet to disclose the actual sale price for the For Me model.
