New Lotus Emeya could become the most powerful estate car in the world

The Lotus Emeya is equipped with a 102kWh battery pack, but the exact range has not been revealed yet. Lotus claims that it is similar to the range offered by the Eletre, which can achieve 373 miles in the entry-level and S models and 304 miles in the high-power R models.

When it comes to charging, the Emeya can charge at rates of up to 350kW. This means that it can get a range boost of 93 miles in just five minutes when using the fastest chargers. Lotus states that refilling from 10% to 80% can take as little as 18 minutes.

However, the Emeya is not just about power. It also features a standard air suspension system that scans the road ahead 1000 times per second. This system responds to the road conditions by adjusting the dampers accordingly, providing a smoother and more comfortable ride.

The performance saloon also boasts active aerodynamic elements, such as the grille, rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler that is 100mm wider than that of the Eletre. This spoiler extends at high speeds to improve stability.

The use of active aerodynamics is seen as an opportunity by Lotus, as it allows them to create a high-performance car that still looks elegant. According to Ben Payne, the vice president of Lotus design, active aerodynamics help achieve a cleaner and more coherent design.

Volvo C40 Recharge EV Launched At Rs 61.25 Lakh In India


Volvo has introduced the C40 Recharge, its second electric vehicle (EV) in India. The C40 Recharge is based on the XC40 Recharge but comes with an updated 78kWh battery pack that provides a WLTP-claimed range of up to 530km.

Volvo C40 Recharge

  • The C40 Recharge is Volvo’s second EV offering in India after the XC40 Recharge.

  • It borrows the XC40 Recharge’s Thor’s Hammer-shaped LED DRLs and alloy wheels but features a distinctive sloping roofline.

  • Key features include a 9-inch touchscreen, a panoramic glass roof, and ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems).

  • The C40 Recharge supports 150kW DC fast charging, allowing the battery to charge from 10-80 percent in just 27 minutes.

  • Equipped with a dual-motor AWD powertrain, the C40 Recharge has a performance rating of 408PS.

After its India showcase in June 2023, the Volvo C40 Recharge is now available for sale at an introductory price of Rs 61.25 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). This electric coupe is based on the XC40 Recharge, an electric SUV. Deliveries of the C40 Recharge will begin before the end of September.

Sportier Looks

The C40 Recharge shares a similar front design with the XC40 Recharge, featuring a closed grille and Thor’s hammer-shaped LED DRLs. However, it stands out with its sloping roofline and sportier rear end, giving it a more dynamic appearance. The SUV coupe’s back is highlighted by a unique pair of LED taillights that extend into the tailgate.

Familiar On The Inside

Similar to other Volvo models, the interior of the C40 Recharge follows a minimalist design, mirroring the layout of the XC40 Recharge. It is the first Volvo model to offer a completely leather-free interior. The cabin also features partially recycled upholstery and carpets.

Equipment On Offer

The Volvo C40 Recharge comes loaded with a range of equipment, including a 9-inch vertically-oriented touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, powered front seats with heating and cooling function, a panoramic glass roof, dual-zone climate control, and a 13-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

In terms of safety, Volvo has equipped the C40 Recharge with seven airbags, a 360-degree camera, hill-assist, and a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, and blind-spot detection.

Electric Power For The Win

The C40 Recharge is powered by a 78kWh battery pack, offering a WLTP-claimed range of 530km. With its dual-motor AWD setup, it delivers an impressive 408PS and 660Nm of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0-100kmph in just 4.7 seconds.

It is worth noting that the C40 Recharge supports 150kW fast charging, allowing the battery to be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 27 minutes.

Competition Check

The Volvo C40 Recharge doesn’t have any direct competitors in the electric SUV coupe segment. However, it competes with similarly priced EVs such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, BMW i4, and its sibling, the XC40 Recharge.
