Verdict
The Emeya 600 Sport SE is RM599,000, while the Emeya 900 Sport is RM699,000, so the RM100,000 step buys a very specific thing: pace. The 900 Sport jumps from 603 hp to 905 hp and cuts 0-100 km/h from 4.2 to 2.8 seconds, but it uses the same 102.0 kWh battery, the same 509-litre boot and the same five-seat body. The catch is range and running cost: 610 km drops to 485 km, and annual road tax rises from RM1,440 to RM4,890.
Pick the Lotus Emeya 600 Sport SE if you want the longer 610 km range, lower RM1,440 road tax and still-rapid 603 hp all-wheel-drive performance.
Pick the Lotus Emeya 900 Sport if the 905 hp output and 2.8-second 0-100 km/h time matter more than the shorter 485 km range and higher road tax.
