Essentially, if you want a true sports car with an involving and thrilling ride that is also capable of being an everyday car, then the Lotus Evora is an impressive and great looking vehicle to consider leasing.
EQUIPMENT AND HANDLING FOR THE LOTUS EVORA
The Lotus Evora is a lightweight sports car to lease with excellent aerodynamics to add downforce and deliver exceptional road manners. The suspension delivers comfort and agility, particularly on winding country roads with the tyres gripping impressively well. The steering gives good feedback, so the driver knows exactly what the car is doing.
There's not a lot of boot space and the rear seats are quite small (and in the Evora 410 they are removed), but the overall on-road experience is an impressive one for those who want a car that delivers agility and thrills.
In many ways, the Evora is the grown-up sibling to the Lotus Elise with a softer ride, more comfort levels and more equipment. The chassis also helps make this a comfortable car for long journeys, particularly on motorways.
Drivers get an infotainment screen with satnav - though on the range-topper it's an option because of the weight - and there's air conditioning. The leather seats are heated and most of the interior and dashboard has Alicante material covering it. Other models feature rear parking sensors and a camera, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity and there's a tyre pressure monitoring system.
There's a decent list of options to help personalise the Lotus Evora, including bucket racing seats with a harness. Also, the Lotus Evora has not been crash-tested officially by Euro NCAP because it sells in low numbers, but drivers do get safety equipment including ABS, traction control and airbags.
