Amathuba eLotus SUV asethuthukisiwe iminyaka eminingi manje, kodwa noma ngabe yisiphi isizathu, awazange abonakale… okujabulisa kakhulu ama-purists. Kodwa manje isibe ngokoqobo ngempela.
I-Lotus isanda kwethula i-Teaser yokuqala ye-SUV yayo yokuqala, okwamanje eyaziwa ngegama lekhodi yohlobo 132, futhi lokho okungeziwe kuzoba ngogesi kuphela. Ngeke kuhluke kakhulu kulokho esikwaziyo ngomakhi omncane kaHethel.
Le SUV engakaze ibonwe iyingxenye yohlelo olunebhongo lokuhlela kabusha nokukhula kweLotus, oluchazwe ngemuva kokutholwa komkhiqizi wakwaGeely (umnikazi weVolvo nePolestar).
Kungeyokuqala kwezine ezingu-100% zikagesi ezizokwethulwa yinkampani yaseBrithani ngo-2026 futhi okuhlanganisa nenye iSUV (Type 134, encane), i-coupé saloon enezicabha ezine (Type 133) kanye nemoto ehlala abantu ababili (Type 135). ) okuzophinde kunikeze ozongena esikhundleni se-Alpine A110.
Ezinye izindaba ezinkulu ngezokuthi ezinye zalezi zinhlobo zikagesi zizokhiqizwa embonini entsha engekho eHethel, e-UK, kodwa eseWuhan, eChina, ezojoyina ikomkhulu elisha leLotus Technology.
Thayipha 132. Yini esesiyazi kakade?
I-SUV entsha kagesi evela kuLotus izobekwa, kubukeka sengathi, ku-E-segment, lapho kuhlala khona amamodeli afana nePorsche Cayenne. Siyakukhumbuza ukuthi naphezu kwayo yonke ingxabano, iCayenne ilethe futhi iletha izinhlanhla ezinkulu kumkhiqizo waseZuffenhausen, oqinisekise amazinga angakaze abonwe okukhula. Ingabe i-Type 132 izoba nomthelela ofanayo ku-Lotus?
I-Lotus Type 132 izofaka amabhethri asukela ku-92-120 kWh, i-architecture engu-800 V ukuze ishaje ngokushesha, futhi izinombolo zamandla ezithuthukiswayo “zinamafutha”: phakathi (ngaphezudlwana nje) kuka-600 hp no-750 hp.
Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi izinombolo zesisindo esingaba khona (ukukhanya bekulokhu kuyingxenye ebalulekile ye-Lotus' DNA) yale SUV izenza bazizwe bengekho - akulindelekile ukuthi kube yi-featherweight, kodwa iLotus ifisa okungenani ukuthi wonke amamodeli ayo alula kunawo wonke amakilasi abo.
Encwadini yamazwibela eshicilelwe yi-Lotus, i-aerodynamics ye-SUV kufanele igxilwe kakhulu ekugxilweni kwayo, isici esibalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwalawa mathilamu akamuva. Kuvidiyo eshicilelwe, sibona ukuthatha komoya okuphansi okusebenzayo (okwakhiwa iphethini ene-hexagonal), okungukuthi, ngama-flap angavuleka futhi avaleke, athanda ukupholisa (kulokhu, amabhethri) noma i-aerodynamics.
Ngezansi kwalokhu kungena komoya singakwazi futhi ukubona ukuthungwa okungaqondakali kwe-carbon fiber kusihlukanisi sangaphambili. Ingabe le nto izoba yingxenye ebalulekile yokwakhiwa kwemodeli?
Kuzofanele silinde manje u-2022 ukuze sidalulwe ngokugcwele futhi sazi nokuthi uzobizwa ngokuthini: sisola ukuthi igama liqala ngohlamvu “E”.
