Lotus Technology, the luxury electric vehicle unit majority owned by Geely Holding, has begun pre-sales of its new hybrid SUV, the Lotus For Me, in China.
The model is available in two variants with pre-sale prices set at 528,000 yuan ($76,780) and 588,000 yuan. The vehicle is currently displayed at Lotus retail stores across China, with the official market launch and customer deliveries expected by the end of March.
The For Me represents the company's first hybrid vehicle and is built on the 900-volt X-Hybrid architecture. In overseas markets, the same model will be marketed as the Lotus Eletre X.
The SUV is equipped with a 70 kWh battery supplied by CATL, offering a CLTC-rated pure electric range of up to 420 kilometers. The model supports 6C fast charging, enabling the battery to charge from 30% to 80% in approximately eight minutes.
With both a full fuel tank and a fully charged battery, the vehicle offers a combined driving range exceeding 1,400 kilometers, according to the company.
Performance is another key feature of the model. Lotus said the vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 3.3 seconds, while in battery-depleted mode the acceleration time is approximately 3.5 seconds.
The vehicle is built on the Geely Afari Smart Driving (G-ASD) H7 architecture and is equipped with the Nvidia Thor computing platform.
The system supports advanced driver assistance functions including highway and urban Navigation on Autopilot.
Lotus said the model is aimed at consumers seeking a performance-oriented SUV that also meets the needs of family use in the premium segment.
