Lotus says the second of these load bays can hold an aircraft cabin-compatible bag or a set of golf clubs.

There’s also 208 litres of luggage space behind the two seats, and a further 151 litres in the boot behind the engine. There’s significantly better storage too, with door bins that can hold half-litre bottles, a pair of cup-holders with a smartphone storage slot between them, an armrest between the seats and USB and 12V charging ports. Lotus says the cabin packaging offers more space than its previous models, which is better able to accommodate both short and tall occupants. The use of common Geely switchgear in the Emira appears minimal. There’s also a flat-bottomed steering wheel and extensive use of double stitching, including across the top of the fascia. The driver-focused dashboard features a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system that incorporates Android and Apple integration. The Emira’s interior marks even more of a change for Lotus – and it’s arguably here where owner Geely’s more lofty ambitions for the brand become evident. New 2022 Lotus Emira: interior and equipment Power goes to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, although Lotus offers a six-speed paddle-shift automatic gearbox as a £1,800 optional extra. Lotus says this is enough for a 0–62mph time of 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 180mph. The Emira First Edition is powered by a supercharged version of Toyota’s 2GR-FE 3.5-litre V6 engine, which produces 395bhp and 420Nm of torque.

New Lotus SUV likely as part of brand’s electric revolution.

We haven’t yet been told how much power the new engine will make, but it’s possible that the four-cylinder could overtake the V6 as the Emira’s most potent powertrain during the car’s life-cycle, given tightening emissions rules across the model’s key markets. Then, in 2023, there’ll be a new entry-level model costing £59,995. Late next year, we’ll get another First Edition model powered by Mercedes-AMG’s M139 turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, which produces as much as 415bhp in the A 45 S hot hatchback. However, Lotus has plans to expand the Emira line-up. Currently, the sports car is only available with the company’s range-topping V6 engine and generously equipped First Edition trim-level, which will set you back £75,995. Lotus has announced prices and specifications for the all-new Emira.
