The design of the Lotus Eletre SUV draws inspiration from various elements found in other iconic Lotus models. Notably, the sharp edges at the front bear a resemblance to the Lotus Evija and Emira, showcasing a cohesive design language. The inclusion of a glass canopy on the top mirrors the sleek aesthetic of the Evija. The India-specific model is equipped with 22-inch, 10-spoke forged wheels as standard, adding a touch of sophistication.

Emphasizing its electric nature, the Eletre prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency with an active front grille directing air under the leading edge, emerging through vents on the bonnet, behind the front wheel arches, behind the rear wheels, and atop the D-pillar. The rear of the SUV features a distinctive full-length ribbon light that curves into the air outlets from the wheel arches, a design similarity with the Emira and Evija. This light changes color based on the car's motion and battery charge.
