For an SUV I think it looks decent, if it does for Lotus what the Cayenne did for Porsche then good luck to them.

Not that you can tell much from a few line sketches but it is very generic looking - hopefully it will have some Lotus DNA and something innovative to make it stand out from the rest of the ( crowded) SUV market.

Plans are up in the air again post Geely takeover I read, but given Geely own Volvo, they have platforms.

Volvo are pushing ahead with Polestar as a separate brand, I expected that might have been where Lotus developed as the sporty technologically innovative product (still might in time)

Would need to be offered at a comparable monthly deal to a Q3 or Q5 before I would consider one. looks closer to Q3 size... Also, would need a good long warranty on it...
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

They might allow track use though... :blackeye

It looks ok as far as SUVs go. Too high for my liking, but I appreciate I'm not the target market.

I hope it does well, I love seeing Lotus succeed, especially when it allows them to make the things that brought us all here.
