Lotus Eletre Eletre 600 vs Eletre 600 GT SE
Verdict
Between these two, the Lotus Eletre Eletre 600 is the rational buy. It costs RM499,000 against RM569,000 for the Lotus Eletre Eletre 600 GT SE, and the RM70,000 gap does not change the dual-motor AWD hardware, 603 hp output, 4.5-second 0-100 km/h time, 258 km/h top speed, 112.0 kWh battery or 600 km range. Both are big five-seat CBU executive SUVs with 688 litres of boot space, 10 airbags and RM1,440 annual road tax. On paper, you are paying for trim, not mechanicals.
Pick the Lotus Eletre Eletre 600 if you want the same 603 hp, 600 km range and 4.5-second sprint for RM70,000 less.
Pick the Lotus Eletre Eletre 600 GT SE if you specifically want the GT SE trim and accept paying RM70,000 more despite identical listed mechanicals.
