Used Lotus Emira

The Lotus Emira is a refined British sports car with a focus on lively handling, up-to-date tech and driver enjoyment – all wrapped in a sleek package with plenty of on-road presence. It represents the new face of Lotus, combining everyday usability with the thrilling drive Lotus is famous for. First launched in 2021, the Emira offers greater comfort, more technology and better build quality compared to its predecessors, making it a junior supercar rivaling models like the Porsche Cayman and Alpine A110. Inside, it features a focused design with modern gadgetry including a digital display and improved infotainment, along with a surprisingly spacious cabin and boot, enhancing practicality for a two-seater sports car.

Pros

  • +Top-class handling and feedback
  • +Dramatic looks
  • +Everyday comfort (for a sports car)

Cons

  • -Gear-change lets the drive quality down
  • -High door sills mean getting in and out can be tricky
  • -Premium running costs
  • What are the key safety features of the Lotus Emira?

    The Lotus Emira comes with a reassuring suite of safety features, including multiple airbags, ABS and tyre-pressure monitoring, as well as stability and traction control. Lane-departure warning and rear parking sensors are also standard, while the light-yet-strong aluminium chassis helps give you peace of mind.

  • What engine options are available with the Lotus Emira?

    The Emira offers two engine options. The 3.5-litre supercharged V6 is available with either manual or automatic transmission. Alternatively, there's a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine paired exclusively with an automatic gearbox, which broadens the car’s appeal for those seeking performance with lower running costs. You can flip between Tour, Track and Sport modes, depending on conditions.

  • What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Lotus Emira?

    A 12.3-inch digital driver display and 10.25-inch central touchscreen come as standard, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and premium audio complete the tech package, offering a significant step up from earlier Lotus efforts. If track-driving is on your agenda, you'll be pleased to see a lap timer and G-force meter.

  • What is the fuel consumption of the Lotus Emira?

    Fuel efficiency varies by engine. The 3.5-litre V6 typically returns around 26-29 mpg in mixed driving, while the 2.0-litre four-cylinder should offer closer to 31-32 mpg. While these figures are reasonable for a performance-focused car, be prepared for higher running costs than your average hot hatch.

  • What should I check when buying a used Lotus Emira?

    Look for evidence of regular servicing and careful use. Check the condition of tyres, brakes and the interior. Due to their newness, many used Emiras will still be under the 3-year manufacturer's warranty, but a mechanical health check is wise. Consider using The AA Vehicle Inspection service for added reassurance.

  • Are Lotus Emira cars reliable?

    Early reports suggest the Emira offers improved reliability over previous Lotus models, thanks to higher build standards and more modern tech. However, as with any performance car, careful maintenance is key to trouble-free ownership. Most Emiras are still new enough to benefit from manufacturer support if issues arise.
