Used Lotus Evora

Introduced in 2011, the Evora aimed to address a problem people had with one of Lotus’ most popular models, the Elise. Namely, it simply wasn’t practical enough for day-to-day driving, and with limited luggage space, it wasn’t good if you needed to take something large with you, either.

But Lotus ensured that the Evora still steered and acted as well as the Elise, which is why it was equipped with all manner of mechanical upgrades. Today, it represents a solid used buy for someone after a sports car with a little more practicality.

Pros

2+2 layout means you can bring more passengers for the ride
Excellent dynamics
Lots of specification choices

Cons

Still isn’t the most spacious option
Some earlier cars had a few issues mechanically
Firm ride

What are the key safety features of the Lotus Evora?

The Lotus Evora benefits from a suite of airbags throughout the cabin, as well as a full traction control system which can help out when driving in poor conditions. Anti-lock brakes are equipped for all models, too. The two rear seats are also equipped with ISOFIX points, so you can safely mount a child seat.
What engine options are available with the Lotus Evora?

There’s just one engine available for the Evora - a 3.5-litre V6, originally sourced from Toyota. Originally offered with a manual gearbox, this engine was later available with an automatic ‘box for those who wanted it. Throughout its lifetime the Evora was available in a number of specifications, all of which tweaked and changed the level of power that this V6 engine generated.
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Lotus Evora?

Early cars were available in one of three specifications - Launch Edition, Sport and Premium with each tailoring the car to different needs. Sport, for instance, introduced upgraded brakes and a larger spoiler, while Premium added more road-focused features such as heated seats and a reversing camera. Bear in mind that the Evora was refreshed in 2012, at which point more features - including an upgraded infotainment system - were added to this car’s list of standard equipment.
What is the fuel consumption of a Lotus Evora?

You could get up to 26.7mpg combined in the Lotus Evora, though more spirited driving will see this figure tumble quickly. There’s not too much of a penalty for choosing the automatic version, either, with these models able to return around 25.7mpg.
What should I check for when buying a used Lotus Evora?

Being a performance car means that the Evora is likely to have been driven more quickly during its lifetime. Early cars suffered a few issues - including a loose-feeling gearbox on manual versions and poor interior quality - so make sure that the gearbox is changing as it should and that no interior trim pieces are coming away. If you’d like more information about an Evora you’re looking to buy, then consider an AA Vehicle Inspection. With this, you’ll get a detailed report highlighting any key issues on a car that you’re considering the purchase of.
Are Lotus Evora cars reliable?

However, an AA Vehicle Inspection can help to shine a light on any nasty issues that you might not have spotted. Check out your options for one today.
What engine size does the Lotus Evora have?

The Lotus Evora is available with a 3.5-litre V6 engine
