Indian businessman and husband of popular Bollywood actress Raj Kundra has become the first owner of a very special electric SUV in Bollywood. Raj Kundra has purchased a brand-new Lotus Eletre electric SUV. The English sports car manufacturer officially entered the Indian market with the Eletre SUV, which costs around Rs 2.55 crore ex-showroom. The SUV was launched in the market last year, but none of the celebrities in India had bought it.

The video of Raj Kundra driving his brand-new Lotus Eletre SUV has been shared by Car Crazy India on their Instagram page. While Raj Kundra may be the first in Bollywood to own this SUV, he isn’t the first in the country; earlier this year, a woman based in Hyderabad became the first owner of the Lotus Eletre SUV.
Speaking of the SUV, the exterior design of the Eletre does remind you of some Lotus models. The Lotus brand is currently owned by Geely, and we can see some Chinese influence in the design as well. The SUV features a sharp-looking front fascia with a split headlamp setup and a large lower air dam.
As this is an EV, Lotus has designed the front grille to improve aerodynamics. The Eletre comes with an active front grille that channels air under the leading edge, emerging through two vents on the bonnet. Similarly, the rear of the SUV features a sleek LED strip that runs across the width of the car, along with curved air outlets behind the rear fenders for better aerodynamics.
On the roof, there’s a split spoiler made of carbon fibre that is three-stage deployable. Raj Kundra opted for a green shade for his SUV, known as Galoway Green, giving it a sporty appeal. The interior of Raj Kundra’s SUV is light-coloured.
Being an electric SUV, the interiors are designed to look futuristic. It boasts a 15.1-inch landscape-oriented touchscreen infotainment system that folds flat when not in use. Like the split spoiler on the roof, the dashboard of this electric SUV also splits, with ambient lighting running across its width.
The dashboard includes strips on either side displaying essential driver information. Most controls can be activated via voice commands or touchscreen, supplemented by toggle switches for certain functions. The SUV is available in both four- and five-seat configurations; however, the variant Mr. Kundra purchased is not specified.
It offers features such as wireless charging, 12-way adjustable front seats, four-zone climate control, a 15-speaker Dolby Atmos and KEF premium sound system, configurable ambient lighting, soft-close doors, over-the-air updates, and ADAS features based on Lidar technology as standard.
Lotus offers six different interior themes as standard, emphasizing sustainable materials. The Eletre SUV is available in three variants: Eletre, Eletre S, and Eletre R. The Eletre and Eletre S feature a 603hp and 710 Nm dual-motor system, with a maximum range of 600km. Meanwhile, the Eletre R comes with a 905hp, 985 Nm dual-motor setup coupled with a 2-speed transmission and a maximum range of 490km. We hope to see more Bollywood celebrities come forward and buy Lotus Eletre in future.
