In terms of appearance, the Lotus L3 three-door sedan and the Lotus L5 have actually made multiple appearances at domestic auto shows. The coupe-style design of the Lotus L3 with its fastback styling leaves a deep impression. The Lotus L5 represents a breakthrough compared to previous models; there are significant changes in the front grille, adopting a two-part honeycomb grille, and the shape of the lower intake grille has also changed. The body size of the three-door sedan and hatchback series is larger than that of the L3. During the Christmas group-buying promotion for Lotus cars, it was revealed that both the three-door sedan and hatchback models share the same dimensions: length 4640mm, width 1750mm, and height 1466mm, with an axle distance reaching 2670mm.
For the interior, the Lotus L5 uses a dual-tone "dark upper, light lower" color scheme, giving a homely feel. Both the manual and automatic fashion versions of the L5 come with fabric seats, and the welcomeč¸boards lack LED lighting. However, the seats in the other three models are made of leather, and during the Christmas group-buying promotion for Lotus cars, it was noted that the welcomeč¸boards with added LED lighting create a more dynamic look at night.
In terms of configuration, all Lotus L5 models come equipped with multifunctional steering wheels, cruise control, electric exterior mirrors (with turn signals, heating function), automatic air conditioning, and intelligent light sensors. However, the electric sunroof and anti-pinch function for electric windows are only available on the manual and automatic smart versions and the automatic smart navigation version of the L5.
For safety features, there are not many differences among the five models of the Lotus L5. All models come equipped with ABS+EBD, dual front airbags, LED high-mounted brake lights, child safety door locks, anti-glare internal rearview mirrors, and reverse parking radars. Additionally, the top-of-the-line model (automatic smart navigation version) of the L5 is also equipped with a reversing camera function.
