Good evening,
The order books have opened, and we are accepting orders for 2026 Lotus Emira now! Orders are available for both the V6 SE (supercharged V6) and the Turbo SE (turbocharged I4). Quite a few notable changes and upgrades have been introduced to the Emira for the 2026 model year. See below:
- Two new paint colors have been added to the color palette—Eos Green and Purple Haze. All 13 previous paint colors are still available to order.
- A new lightweight 15-spoke forged alloy wheel (pictured above) has been added as an available option for the SE variants.
- Seat belts can now be customized in black, yellow, or red to create a more striking interior look.
- Black nappa leather interior can now be optioned with yellow or red contrast striping for an extra touch of sportiness.
- Advanced driver assistance features now come standard on the Emira, including autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, blind spot assist, rear cross traffic alert, fatigue alert, and high beam assist. Adaptive cruise control is only available in the Turbo SE models.
- The new 'Racing Line' trim package has been introduced to offer a bolder and more aggressive exterior appearance.
- A-pillar tweeters have been added and the power output has been increased to 630W in the premium KEF audio system.
- The supercharged V6 is no longer available with an automatic transmission. The turbocharged I4 has taken its place as the quicker and better-performing automatic option.
- Several mechanical updates have been completed to improve shifting in the 6-speed manual and 8-speed DCT automatic, suspension and handling performance have been upgraded, and the performance of the cooling system has been enhanced.
