ANOTHER GEELY-OWNED marque, Lotus, is preparing to usher in its own landmark electric SUV, and its exterior design has been newly outed in a series of design patent renderings just weeks ahead of its official unveiling.
Known as the Type 132, the Chinese-made Lotus SUV will place more of a focus on pace and agility than its Volvo and Polestar cousins, as evidenced by its rakish silhouette and aggressive styling, but an integrated lidar sensor on the roof hints at a similar emphasis on autonomous functionality.
