The LOTUS EMIRA (2022-) is a two-seat, mid-engined sports car, rather than an everyday hatchback or family SUV. It sits in the premium end of the UK sports-car market, offering dramatic styling and a driver-focused feel. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,712 checks covering 845 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of ownership. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £61,600 and average recorded mileage of 17,000 miles. Annual mileage averages 6,000, while the average previous-keeper figure is 0.5. It suits enthusiasts seeking weekend drives or a special daily car, rather than buyers needing rear seats or lots of luggage for daily commuting. Unlike comfort-led rivals such as the Porsche 718 Cayman, the Emira puts sharp looks and an engaging, involving drive at centre stage. Its sculpted shape, snug two-seat cabin and sense of occasion make it stand out. For used buyers, check service history, condition and specification carefully; values can vary.
