Lotus Emira — Generations, Specs & Review

Lotus Emira: Overview

The Lotus Emira is a Gasoline-powered Coupe produced from 2022 onward. The catalogue records one generation and three versions: 3.5 AT, 3.5 MT, and 2.0 DCT. Every version has a Central engine location and RWD. Power ranges from 365 hp to 406 hp, while acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h ranges from 4.2 to 4.3 seconds. Prices, sale listings, and used-car values are not measured in the supplied data.

Lotus Emira Generations

The 1 generation has been in production since 2022. It is offered as a Coupe and contains three versions: 3.5 AT, 3.5 MT, and 2.0 DCT. No production end date or restyling is recorded.

Lotus Emira Engine Options and Specs

The Emira range includes two 3,456 cc Compressor engine versions and one 1,991 cc Turbo engine version. The 3.5 AT and 3.5 MT each produce 406 hp (298 kW) at 6,700 rpm. The 2.0 DCT produces 365 hp (268 kW), but its power rpm is not measured.

Version	Power	Torque	Displacement	Fuel	Cylinders	Layout	Boost	Gearbox	Drive
3.5 AT	406 hp (298 kW) at 6,700 rpm	430 Nm at 5,000 rpm	3,456 cc	Gasoline, 95	6	V-shaped	Compressor	6-speed Automatic	RWD
3.5 MT	406 hp (298 kW) at 6,700 rpm	420 Nm at 5,000 rpm	3,456 cc	Gasoline, 95	6	V-shaped	Compressor	6-speed Manual	RWD
2.0 DCT	365 hp (268 kW); rpm not measured	430 Nm; rpm not measured	1,991 cc	Gasoline; grade not measured	4	Inline	Turbo	8-speed Robotic	RWD

All three engines use four valves per cylinder and Distributed injection (multi-point). The 3.5 AT and 3.5 MT share a bore and stroke of 94 × 83 mm, while the 2.0 DCT has a bore and stroke of 83 × 92 mm. Compression ratio is not measured for any version.

The 3.5 AT combines its 406 hp with 430 Nm, giving it 41 hp more than the 2.0 DCT while matching the 2.0 DCT’s torque. The 3.5 MT also produces 406 hp, but its 420 Nm output is 10 Nm below both the 3.5 AT and 2.0 DCT.

Lotus Emira Performance and Economy

Version	0–100 km/h	Top speed	City consumption	Highway consumption	Combined consumption	CO₂	Eco class
3.5 AT	4.2 seconds	290 km/h	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured
3.5 MT	4.3 seconds	290 km/h	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured
2.0 DCT	4.2 seconds	283 km/h	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured

The 3.5 AT and 2.0 DCT share the quickest recorded 0–100 km/h time at 4.2 seconds. The 3.5 MT takes 4.3 seconds, a difference of 0.1 second. Both 3.5 versions reach 290 km/h, which is 7 km/h faster than the 283 km/h maximum of the 2.0 DCT.

A 0–60 mph figure is not measured. City, highway, and combined fuel-consumption figures are also not measured for any Lotus Emira version, so an mpg value cannot be stated from the available data.

Lotus Emira Dimensions and Weight

Dimensions are not measured in the supplied data. Length, width, and height in millimetres, inches, or feet are therefore not measured, and a numerical dimensions comparison with another model cannot be made.

Version	Kerb weight	Gross weight	Ground clearance	Fuel tank	Wheel sizes
3.5 AT	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured
3.5 MT	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured
2.0 DCT	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured	not measured

All three versions use Independent, spring front suspension and Independent, spring rear suspension. Each has Ventilated disc front brakes and Ceramic ventilated rear brakes.

Which Lotus Emira Version to Choose

Choose the 3.5 AT if the priority is the strongest combination of recorded figures with an Automatic gearbox. It produces 406 hp and 430 Nm, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, and reaches 290 km/h. Compared with the 3.5 MT, it has the same 406 hp and 290 km/h top speed, 10 Nm more torque, and a 0.1-second quicker 0–100 km/h time.

Choose the 3.5 MT if a Manual gearbox is the deciding requirement. Its 3,456 cc Compressor engine produces 406 hp and 420 Nm. It reaches the same 290 km/h top speed as the 3.5 AT, although its 4.3-second 0–100 km/h time is the slowest of the three recorded versions.

Choose the 2.0 DCT if the preferred configuration is a 1,991 cc Inline four-cylinder Turbo engine with an 8-speed Robotic gearbox. It produces 365 hp and 430 Nm and matches the 3.5 AT’s 4.2-second 0–100 km/h time. Its output is 41 hp below both 3.5 versions, while its 283 km/h top speed is 7 km/h lower.

Price, availability for sale, used-car values, reliability, and reported problems are not measured. Those factors cannot be used to rank the versions from this catalogue data.
