After BYD looked up to the brand at the auto show last year, it seemed to have opened the "door" for million-level luxury cars to hit the market. Not long ago, NIO released its new flagship product, ET9, with a pre-sale of 800,000 yuan. Just when netizens were still immersed in the discussion, Emeya, a medium and large sports electric car owned by Lotus, suddenly came out again. It is understood that the EMEYA S+ version is equipped with dual motors, and it only takes 2 to accelerate to 100 km/h78s, at the same time, the car is also equipped with a large capacity battery pack of 102kWh, with a range of 650km. Although the manufacturer has not yet announced the domestic market, it has been revealed that the starting price of the car in the overseas market may be about 100,000 US dollars, equivalent to about 700,000 yuan. In addition, it has been learned from relevant sources that the new model may be launched in mid-January.
Lotus itself is dominated by sports cars, so its models use a lot of aerodynamics in terms of appearance, and the EMEYA S+ is no exception. The front grille is integrated with an active air dam, and the grille also supports active opening and closing. It is worth mentioning that the headlight group of the new car, the headlights of EMEYA S+ adopt a three-layer split structure design, and after the LED daytime running lights are separated, they are designed in layers, so the recognition of the front face is still relatively high. However, this multi-layered design makes the front face look a little abrupt.
Since the sporty route is taken, there is nothing to say about the smooth lines of the body. It is worth mentioning that the rearview mirrors of the new car adopt an electronic design, coupled with the hidden door handles, and the low wind resistance performance of the body is one of the highlights.
At the rear, the car is also equipped with a lifting rear wing. While most models are equipped with an electric rear wing that is more decorative, the Emeya S+ rear wing is a bit more practical, reaching a width of 296mm and giving the car 215kg of downforce when raised. In this way, the stability of the EMEYA S+ at high speeds is improved.
The interior is a bit too technological compared to the exterior. Because it is a new energy vehicle, the mechanical elements in the fuel vehicle do not appear in the new car. There is a small LCD instrument cluster in front of the steering wheel, and a large central control screen on the right. The gear shift mechanism is a small paddle electronic gear, which is placed in the armrest area, this design is a bit like the electronic gear of the golf, and the stopper of the EMEYA S+ looks a little smaller. In addition, the Emeya S+ also uses materials such as Alcantara, Nappa leather and Ultrafabrics in the car, and in some places uses PVD coatings. For a model that is running to millions, these materials are also expected. The audio aspect is provided by the British audio brand KEF, and it is said that the brand side also uses UNI-Q and UNI-CORE technology, and the sound quality should have a good performance.
At present, the official has not disclosed the auxiliary driving information of the new car, but from the current news, the new car will be equipped with 2 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips, 4 lidar and 2 NVIDIA Orin-X chips, plus the perception hardware around the body, EMEYA S+ The assisted driving level should not be low, and the L2 level should be the starting level.
Finally, in terms of power, the EMEYA R+ is equipped with a total of two electric motors and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system. The front motor has a maximum output of 225 kW and the rear motor has a maximum output of 450 kW, and the two motors can release a maximum torque of 985 Nm, and the transmission system is also mated to a 2-speed gearbox. The S+ is also equipped with dual motors, but the maximum power of the front and rear motors is 225kW. It is worth mentioning that the R+ can reach a maximum speed of 256km h, and the acceleration time of 100 km/h is 278s。The performance aspect does stand out, but that also makes range an issue. The new car will be equipped with a power battery with a capacity of 102kw, although the capacity is not small, but the comprehensive cruising range is only 650km, of course, there is no problem with home use, but compared to the capacity, its endurance performance is a little stretched.
If you don't talk about **, only talk about product power, the overall performance of EMEYA is still worth affirming. But when it comes to talking, everyone's opinion of this car is different, 700,000 are sold overseas, and the domestic ** should be running for millions, and the opinions of some netizens are reserved. So, do you think it's worth it for nearly one million ** to buy a high-performance pure electric car?Let us know what you think in the comments section.
