See from the image posted by  kusakusa  in the type 133 thread, that type 134 has a launch in 2024 and delivery in 2026, seems a long time away. Any volume sales being reached in 2027.  Was hoping it may be earlier.

Just to get this thread rolling. Current thinking is that the 134 (available in 2024) will be the smaller SUV, possibly considered a 'Crossover'. News and thoughts - here's the place to air

It’s to be a Macan challenger, same as Eletre is targeting the Cayenne. But significantly Lotus will be ahead of both Porsches’ as they’ve gone electric first with both. 133 is going after Taycan buye

Other thing going for Lotus, has much as Porsche design is very codified and they tend to design their EV's (Taycan) as they would design their ICEVs. I think that Lotus can play with their design a l

Here's a render for the car from Autoevolution, It is mostly speculative evidently and fairly conservative as they used Type 132 Eletre design on a Mazda CX3 for sizing and proportion, still very cohesive.

 

It would make for very stylish baby carrier in my humble opinion but not the most Lotus thing out there.

However In a recent instagram post of/from/for Lotus Tech Creative Centre, they showed a glimpse of a very rakish coupe-SUV.  That one would make quite a splash i believe.

Seems very little info is escaping about this model. Simply resizing an Eletre image is not terribly helpful. Again, I wish Lotus were not so secretive. Knowing what is in the pipeline can make a huge difference to one's buying decisions. As I've said before, keeping everything so secret is more likely to make people look elsewhere.

Do we actually know ANYTHING about the 134?

Will it be Macan sized? Smaller? Larger? Intended price point?

Macan EV is there.. I think Lotus has a good chance in beating a Porsche head on for maybe the first time.. Go for it Lotus!

 

PS: Not that I would ever buy a SUV... 😉

From Top Gear article re type 135,  type 134 looks to have a more reasonable price..

Currently referred to as the Type 134, an electric SUV that’s smaller than the Eletre will be unveiled later this year, with deliveries slated to start in 2026. That will be Lotus’ big volume seller, with an entry price of around £55,000 and target sales figures of between 80,000 and 90,000 cars per year.

650ps (641 bhp), 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and £65K OTR - given that type 134 is a smaller variant of the Eletre platform, rumoured to start at £55k I suspect they might.... 😉
