KEF speakers have been around for over 60 years. They made their name as studio monitors. Obscure works such as "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Bohemian Rhapsodies" were mixed down with KEF monitors (pronounced usually "kef" as a word not k.e.f.)

Lotus is a driver-centric brand. I have experienced that first hand in the Lotus Evora. They are among the greatest in suspension architecture, driving dynamics, and drive-train engineering. These new vehicles are definitely vastly different from their previous productions, especially when it comes to the interior design.

I have actually heard the KEF system in the new Lotus and it is very good and just about the best before you get into silly systems in high end expensive cars (the Naim for Bentley system is amazing but you are looking at a couple of hundred thousand for the car and $7,000 for the Naim upgrade, so not really comparable). I guess Geely, who also on Volvo, Polstar and half of Smart, just threw a load of money at KEF to make system for the new electric cars as one of the stand out features as things like silly acceleration is pretty much a given.

As a huge Lotus fan (own an 80s Esprit, and have toyed with getting an Emira lately), I'm excited for the the Eletre and Emeya (and Lotus plans on releasing 3 more EVs in the next 3 years). I'm really glad Marques liked this. I'm 5 years into ownership with my Model 3, and I'm keeping my eyes open for what's next (I have a deposit down on the Silverado EV, but I'm not really sure). A lot of people in the Lotus community hate the move to EVs, they see it as offensive and that Lotus should continue to make ICE cars (which we all know isn't very future-proof). I'm all in. Lotus has struggled for so long, it would be nice to see the brand get elevated (even though it's owned by Geely now).

I don't think it's the move to EVs that is worrying people, it's the additional weight they bring. And jesus christ, all those servos and additional electronics must be adding even more.

Not to say that this new brand (direction) can't be great and build a new philosophy for itself.

That’s the one move that makes sense. It’s a lot more aerodynamic. Higher end teslas will have them too. The blocky mirror makes a non-insignificant difference to range.

We do need to replace mirrors with cameras when a mirror would be obstructed.

I don’t know whether the cameras will be standard on the Emeya but they are a £1,999 option on the Eletre. At that price I’d stick to normal mirrors!

To the replies here that side with mirrors > cameras....just move here to the US, where we're ruled over by literal Dirt(s) in most major Offices therefore, laws probably won't catch up for another hundred years. :)

Got the reserve in on my Eletre about this time last year. Looking forward to being one of the first owners in the country. Only question is whether green or yellow paint is the right call (still humming and hawing over that call). I'm glad you found it fun. That's what I was hoping to hear: that it would be the most fun to drive and sporty of the electric SUVs while also being ablet to keep up with the very best of them. The GT version here looks fantastic and I'd love to see it in black. It's interesting to note that there is barely any difference in 0-60 performance between the GT car and the SUV, though I'd imagine the GT will perform a bit better on a track given its lower height and presumably lighter overall weight.
