Which trims are documented for the 2026 Lotus Emira?

The documented 2026 Lotus Emira trim choices include 420 Sport, Turbo, Turbo SE, and V6 SE. Compare equipment and drivetrain by specific version; a trim name alone does not establish installed options.

Recorded 2026 Lotus Emira versions include 420 Sport: ICE, 8-speed DCT, RWD, Turbo: ICE, 8-speed DCT, RWD, Turbo SE: ICE, 8-speed DCT, RWD, V6 SE: ICE, 6-speed automatic, RWD, and V6 SE: ICE, 6-speed manual, RWD.

The documented engine output by version is 420 Sport: 416 hp, Turbo: 360 hp, Turbo SE: 400 hp, and V6 SE: 400 hp. These figures do not establish an acceleration time or a rating for other versions.

Which technology features are documented for the 2026 Lotus Emira?

The equipment catalog names Wireless Android Auto and Wireless Apple CarPlay. Their standard, optional or package availability must be checked for the selected trim; this is not VIN-installed proof.

Which driver-assistance systems are documented for the 2026 Lotus Emira?

The driver-assistance records identify Automatic Emergency Braking and Traffic Sign Recognition. These are equipment entries, not crash-test ratings or proof of installation on a specific VIN.

Which packages are cataloged for the 2026 Lotus Emira?

The available 2026 Lotus Emira package-name records include Convenience Pack, Extended Co-Driver Pack, Extended Lower Black Pack, Carbon Fibre Pack, Lotus Lightweight Handling Pack, Racing Line, and Removable Roof. A recorded name is not independent OEM factory-option proof. Verify the original source, contents, eligibility and exact version; this never establishes VIN installation.
