Registered in Thailand
2 Lotus Emeya were registered in Thailand in October 2026.
39 registered in total, across 19 months of official data from November 2024. The last 12 months account for 19, down 5% on the 12 months before.
Compared over 12-month windows, not month to month: Thai registrations are seasonal — January runs about twice an average month, because Motor Expo sales are registered then.
