Comparison: Boot space Lotus Emira vs. competitors 2024

How much cargo can handle this medium Coupe?

Well, here we are, discussing the nitty-gritty of the Lotus Emira's boot space. You might think that a proper sports car shouldn't really worry about something as mundane as a trunk, but we all know that you still have real-life stuff to do, like going to the grocery store, and sometimes you need an extra room for your golf clubs, too. So, let's dive deep into this cavernous topic, shall we?

Lotus Emira - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Moving onto the first and only generation of the Lotus Emira, one must note it boasts a 208 L boot. While you certainly won't be hauling around full-sized garden gnome collections or Ikea furniture in it, its boot space still provides a reasonable amount of utility, keeping in mind that it is, in fact, a sports car. Generous or not, the Emira's boot surely makes it more practical than some other sports cars on the market.

The boot space of the current generation of Emira is 208 l.

The boot space compared to other Lotus models

Comparing the Lotus Emira to other Lotus models, we find the Emira to be more modest in terms of trunk space. The Lotus Eletre, for example, with a boot space of 688 L, easily dwarfs the Emira. However, let's not forget that the Emira remains a dedicated sports car, catering to a different target audience than the Eletre. As such, comparing their boot spaces might be like comparing apples and oranges, although we can't deny the facts.

How does the boot space of the Lotus Emira compare to it's nearest competitors?

Of course, we must also ponder over how the Lotus Emira stacks up against its closest rivals. The Renault Espace has a trunk size of 581 L, which seems a world away from the smaller Emira, but the Espace is obviously suited for a more practical, family-oriented life. When we look at the boot of the Subaru BRZ (276 L), we can see that the Emira provides slightly more space for your everyday belongings. The Ferrari Roma has a trunk size of 272 L, which is almost neck and neck with the Emira. However, the Aston Martin Vantage (235 L) and the Lamborghini Huracán (100 L) can't keep up, showcasing their emphasis on performance over the practicality of a spacious boot area. Keep in mind that the Emira is not meant to compete with a family saloon or SUV; when considering its purpose as a sports car, the boot space looks rather impressive.
