Wallan launches new electric sports car: KSA’s Wallan Trading Company has launched a new four-door, luxury, electric sports car dubbed the Lotus Emeya 2025, according to a press release. Produced by UK carmaker Lotus, the car is set to sell for prices ranging from SAR 499k to 638k depending on specs.

The details: The EV will be one of the fastest in the world, with zero to 100 km/h acceleration in less than 2.8 seconds. The car will be able to charge from 10% to 80% in 14 minutes using a 400 kW DC fast charger, making it one of the fastest-charging EVs on the market. On a full charge, the Lotus Emeya can drive up to 610 km. Its design incorporates sustainable materials and a 15.1-inch OLED touchscreen.

There’s more: The car offers five driving modes — Range, Tour, Sport, Individual, and Track. Its embedded Hyper OS system locates nearby public charging stations for the driver and can offer alternative routes based on available battery and navigation data. The car also uses NVIDIA Drive Orin dual-chip systems, and its installed cameras and light-detecting and ranging LiDARs can scan the car's surroundings up to 200 meters.

Lotus is already in the region: Egyptian auto distributor Ezz Elarab rolled out Lotus Electre — an electric high-performance SUV (Hyper-SUV) — in Cairo last February as its first SUV released in the region. Lotus first launched its vehicles in Egypt in September 2023, with Ezz Elarab debuting the Lotus Emira, a mid-engine sports car with 400 horsepower.
