Hi Guest
The Lotus range in Saudi Arabia spans a wider gulf than almost any other badge: a mid-engined petrol sports car, two electric performance vehicles, and a limited-run electric hypercar. Four model lines, and no two of them are aimed at the same person.
Work out which half of the range you are actually shopping, then compare the Eletre and the Emeya directly.
How much does a new Lotus cost in Saudi Arabia?
The range opens at SAR 318,750, which buys the electric four-door and is the most accessible point in the line-up. Above that sit the sports car and the electric SUV, and at the very top the Evija hypercar reaches SAR 9,500,000 — a figure that belongs to a different market entirely and stretches the range far beyond where most buyers will look.
Which Lotus models are sold in Saudi Arabia?
Four. The Emira is the petrol sports car and the last of its kind from the brand; the Emeya is the electric four-door; the Eletre is the electric SUV; and the Evija is the limited-production electric hypercar at the summit.
Lotus Emira or a Porsche 718 Cayman?
The Emira is the last mid-engined petrol car Lotus will build, which makes it the more special object and the one that steers with the feel the badge is famous for. A Porsche 718 Cayman is easier to service, better supported and far stronger at resale in the Kingdom. Buy the Lotus for what it is rather than what it will be worth.
What is a Lotus like to own in Saudi Arabia?
The electric cars are the easy ones: no oil service, minimal brake wear, and home charging that covers daily driving without ever involving a public charger. The petrol sports car is a specialist proposition with consumables to match. On a badge with this little volume, agreeing the service arrangement and the warranty terms at the point of purchase is worth the effort.
