2026 Lotus Emira bows with minor updates

Lotus has rolled out a modest refresh for the Emira lineup.

On the technical side of things, the car benefits from improved cooling and a tweaked shifting logic that makes the entry-level preselector DCT shift both faster and smoother than before.

The newest top spec – the V6 SE – benefits from a stiffer suspension setup by default, as well as mildly tuned steering and an extra transmission mount for stability. The 3.5-liter Toyota engine supercharged to 405 PS (400 hp / 299 kW) stays the same.

You can already preorder the new Emira in Europe starting from €97,500. There are some new trim options on the list, including new exterior colors and a package called Racing Line.
