Lotus Cars Malaysia has announced that a limited number of selected pre-owned units of the Eletre SUV are now on sale. A total of nine cars are being made available, all produced in either 2023 or 2024 with mileage of 18,000 km or less.
The bevy of Eletre S and R units (the base Eletre was not available in Malaysia until very recently) include a Kaimu Grey 2023 Eletre S with a Jasper (read: black with red stitching) interior with just 6,000 km on the clock, going for only RM570,000. That’s nearly RM130,000 off retail for a car that will certainly still be box fresh.
But not as box fresh as a Solar Yellow on Quartz (white) 2024 Eletre S that is practically brand new, with a mileage of just 33 km – there are new cars that get delivered with more kilometres than that. This unit costs RM750,000 but will certainly come equipped with several options that would’ve pushed the purchase price well beyond the circa-RM50,000 premium above asking.
Want the more powerful Eletre R? This 905 hp rocket ship can be had from only RM650,000, nearly RM190,000 off retail. Two units are available at that price, including another Solar Yellow on Quartz 2023 example with a mileage of just 5,000 km.
All Eletre models come with a five-year/150,000 km warranty and an eight-year/200,000 km battery warranty. Both of these take effect from the registration date, meaning that even the oldest car here (they were all registered last year) is still covered for another four years, with the battery covered for another seven. Lotus Cars Malaysia says that all cars have been “meticulously” maintained and inspected to ensure they continue to offer the same quality and driving experience.
To recap, the Eletre makes 605 hp and 710 Nm of torque from its dual motors, getting it from zero to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, while the Eletre R’s 905 hp and 985 Nm flings it to 100 km/h in just 2.95 seconds. An 112 kWh battery delivers a WLTP-rated range of 600 km for the Eletre and Eletre S and 490 km for the Eletre R. Read and watch our review here.
