Lotus Emeya 600 vs 600 GT SE
Verdict
The Lotus Emeya 600 is the sensible buy at RM459,000 against RM519,000 for the Lotus Emeya 600 GT SE. Both are CBU electric grand tourer sedans with dual motors, AWD, 603 hp, a 4.2-second 0-100 km/h time, 250 km/h top speed and a 102.0 kWh battery good for 610 km. For a Malaysian buyer, the RM60,000 gap buys no visible performance, range, boot space, safety or road tax advantage here. On paper, you’re paying for trim, not mechanicals — check the equipment list.
Pick the Lotus Emeya 600 if you want the same 603 hp, 610 km range and 4.2-second sprint for RM60,000 less.
Pick the Lotus Emeya 600 GT SE if its GT SE trim details matter to you more than the lack of any listed mechanical gain.
