Lotus is working on its first family-friendly SUV in collaboration with Chinese car manufacturer Goldstar and will launch a lightweight crossover in China by 2020 with European sales likely to follow, the CEO has told CAR magazine.

Our new artist's impression shows how the new family Lotus could look: we hear it will share a footprint with the Porsche Macan but will sit lower and wider, and a lightweight structure will pare bulk by around 200-300kg over the German rival. Four-cylinder engines are planned, a hybrid is likely and V6s are expected for more sporting iterations of the Lotus soft-roader.

It looks like a Lotus SUV, it looks lightweight, and it will drive like no other SUV because it will be much lighter,' chief executive Jean-Marc Gales told CAR in a special news feature in the new August 2015 issue out now. 'It will look stunning. At the front you'll see a taste of 3-Eleven, plus hints of the 1974 Elite and other Lotus cars.'
