• Distributor model Sole-dealer importer via Wearnes Automotive (Thailand) Co., Ltd. — appointed July 2021 as Lotus's exclusive dealer + after-sales provider for Thailand. Wearnes is a regional automotive group owned by Singapore-listed WBL Corporation; the Thailand entity is the same operator Lotus uses across the Asia-Pacific region (also Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia for some marques). Despite the user-brief's hypothesis, Master Group is not involved with Lotus; Master Group (the AAS family) distributes Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Ducati, but not Lotus. (Lotus appoints Wearnes — RYT9 EN release¹; motortrivia coverage 2021-07²; Wearnes corporate site³)
• Entered Thailand July 2021 (Wearnes appointment). First showroom opened Q4 2021 at Ramkhamhaeng Road, Bangkok, initially displaying the carry-over Exige Sport 350 and Elise Sport 220 ICE inventory while Wearnes ramped staffing and after-sales capability ahead of Eletre. The Lotus brand itself had had a discontinuous earlier TH presence under prior importers ยังไม่ยืนยันpre-2021 importer name not confirmed. (Wearnes appointment 2021¹; motortrivia 2021-07²)
• First BEV in TH Eletre S and Eletre R — launched simultaneously 2023-09-22 at ฿5,890,000 and ฿6,590,000 respectively. Both CBU from Wuhan. First Lotus-branded BEV on sale in Thailand and one of the earliest 800-V production BEVs in the TH market overall (alongside Porsche Taycan CBU-only and ahead of Hyundai Ioniq 5/6 mainstream rollout). (Headlightmag launch pricing 2023-09-22⁴)
• Models on sale (May 2026) 2 nameplates — Eletre (Hyper SUV / large electric SUV, ~5.1 m long) and Emeya (Hyper GT / four-door electric sedan-fastback, ~5.14 m long). The Evija hypercar (target-2,000 hp, £2 m+ each, max 130 units globally) is not retailed in Thailand and there is no public TH allocation ยังไม่ยืนยันlikely zero TH units. The forthcoming Type 134 / Theory 1 mid-size electric SUV (China-launch projected late 2026) has no announced TH timeline.
• Total current BEV trims on sale (May 2026) 10 trims — 5 Eletre (600 base · 600 GT SE · 600 Sport SE · 900 Sport · 900 Sport Carbon) + 5 Emeya (600 base · 600 GT SE · 600 Sport SE · 900 Sport · 900 Sport Carbon). The pre-2025 legacy ladder ("base / S / R" × 2 models = 6 historical trims) has been retired. (Headlightmag Eletre MY2026 official pricing⁵; Headlightmag Emeya 600/900 official pricing⁶)
• Current BEV price band (since 2026-01-01) ฿4,999,000 (Emeya 600, CBU-Wuhan) – ฿8,190,000 (Eletre 900 Sport Carbon and Emeya 900 Sport Carbon, both CBU-Wuhan). From 2025-07-31 to 2025-12-31 the band was ฿4,890,000 – ฿7,990,000. (Headlightmag 2026-01-20⁷; Autolife Eletre 2026-01-16⁸; Autolife Emeya 2026-01-16⁹) The official Lotus Thailand site (lotuscars.com/en-TH, checked 2026-11-03) lists the same two series per model, Eletre 600 / 900 and Emeya 600 / 900, but publishes no prices, so Thai trade press is the best available price source.
• Local plant None. All TH-market Lotus BEVs are CBU from Lotus Cars Manufacturing Wuhan, Hannan EV Industrial Park, Wuhan, Hubei, China. The plant opened July 2022 with a $1.18 bn investment on 1,526 acres as the first fully-automated Lotus smart factory. The Hethel UK plant continues to build the Emira ICE sports car (out of scope) and the Evija hypercar in extremely limited numbers; no Lotus BEVs are built in the UK. (Pandaily — Lotus Wuhan smart factory completion¹⁰; Carnewschina — Eletre first off the Wuhan line 2022-07-18¹¹; Electrek — Lotus Wuhan factory complete¹²)
• Showrooms (May 2026) 2 dealer outlets in Thailand, both in Bangkok, both Wearnes-owned. (1) Lotus Cars Bangkok Ramkhamhaeng (HQ, sales + service) at 99/3 Ramkhamhaeng Road, Suan Luang, Bangkok 10250 — the original Wearnes flagship from Q4 2021. (2) Lotus Cars Flagship Store Emsphere — a 200 m² retail-only boutique in the Emsphere Shopping Center on Sukhumvit, opened 2024, displaying Eletre + Emeya hero units. Service is consolidated at Ramkhamhaeng. (ZigWheels TH — Lotus dealers (2 outlets, 1 city)¹³; LUXUO TH — Emsphere flagship store opening¹⁴; Lotus Cars TH centre search¹⁵)

• TH 2024 sales target 250 EV units for full-year 2024 (per Wearnes at BIMS 2024); Eletre 2023 pre-orders reached 180+ units with 100+ delivered Q2 2024 and another ~80 by year-end. (Nation Thailand BIM 2024 coverage¹⁷)
• Price walk, 2023 → 2026 Eletre S ฿5.89 m (2023-09) → ฿5.99 m (MY2025, 2024-06); Eletre R ฿6.59 m → ฿6.89 m. The July 2025 ladder then moved the entry point down (600 series, the former S, from ฿5.29 m Eletre / ฿4.89 m Emeya) and the 905-hp point up (900 Sport, the former R, ฿7.29 m). On 2026-01-01 every trim rose again: +฿109,000 on the 600, +฿160,000 on 600 GT SE / 600 Sport SE / 900 Sport, +฿200,000 on 900 Sport Carbon, identically for Eletre and Emeya.

Wearnes Automotive (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is the in-country sole dealer, importer, and after-sales provider for Lotus in Thailand. Headquartered in Bangkok with primary facility at Ramkhamhaeng Road. Country Manager Teeraphong Rodloy has fronted every major TH product launch since the Eletre debut. Wearnes also retails select other premium brands across the ASEAN region but in Thailand its automotive portfolio is Lotus-only as of May 2026 ยังไม่ยืนยันWearnes TH may operate other brands; the lotuscars.com TH site is exclusive to Lotus. (Wearnes TH corporate³; Wearnes Auto group locator — TH¹⁹)

Unlike most premium-European TH importers (BMW = subsidiary + CKD plant; Mercedes = subsidiary + TAAP CKD; Audi/Porsche = Master Group third-party importer; Volvo = Geely Auto Industries direct subsidiary), Wearnes operates Lotus on a pure sole-importer franchise model with no local assembly and no plan announced for any. All Eletre + Emeya stock is imported CBU from Wuhan via sea freight, typically with a 6–10 week lead time from order. Thailand-spec vehicles share their production-spec EU/UK build with right-hand-drive Geely Wuhan runs ยังไม่ยืนยันexact Wuhan RHD production cadence for TH allocation not publicly disclosed.

The Lotus Eletre is a 5.1-m-long, 2.5-tonne large electric SUV positioned at the apex of Lotus's TH lineup alongside the Emeya. Designed at Lotus Tech Creative Centre (Coventry, UK) and engineered on Geely's SEA-S (Sustainable Experience Architecture, SUV-derivative) platform, it is the first Lotus SUV in history and the first Lotus production vehicle built outside the UK.

They are kept as discontinued trims for price-graph history. Some Thai price aggregators still list "Eletre S" and "Eletre R" as if on sale; those are the old names, not current trims.

The doc has the following ยังไม่ยืนยัน flags that should be closed before declaring Lotus "complete":

1. Hex codes for every colour — currently estimates; need configurator page-source scrape to extract PMS / hex codes.
2. Cell supplier — almost certainly CATL (Geely SEA-S standard) but no explicit Lotus confirmation found.
3. TH-spec Eletre 600 single-motor vs dual-motor — global "base" Eletre at £89,500 was widely reported single-motor RWD in some markets; TH-published 0–100 of 4.5 s aligns with dual-motor 603-hp. Need cross-check.
4. DC peak rating — Lotus markets 350 kW (TH-published); Wikipedia and EU technical filings cite 430 kW platform max. Use 350 kW for TH unless press kit overrides.
5. Towing certification — neither model appears towing-rated in TH; need explicit confirmation from Wearnes.
6. V2L — not mentioned in TH press coverage; needs config / spec sheet check.
7. Carbon-ceramic brakes — Sport SE vs 900 Sport vs Sport Carbon brake spec needs disambiguation.
8. Battery capacity-retention warranty threshold — 8 yr / 200,000 km confirmed, but exact retention % (typically 70–80%) not published.
9. 2024 TH actual EV sales — target was 250; actual not yet found.
10. Pantip thread URLs — need to find canonical Lotus Eletre or Emeya owner thread for the brand.external_links section.
11. Emeya Blossom Limited Edition TH availability — global LE exists; unclear if TH was allocated units.
12. Wearnes TH founding date + Wearnes corporate ownership chain to WBL Corporation.
13. Pre-2021 Lotus TH importer (who handled Evora / Exige / Elise sales before Wearnes).
14. MY2027 update for Thailand — Malaysia priced MY27 Eletre 600 / Emeya 600 in April 2026 and Lotus Korea opened MY2027 pre-orders; no Thai MY2027 announcement found as of 2026-11-03 ยังไม่ยืนยัน.
15. Emeya January 2026 prices — one trade-press source (Autolife). Headlightmag covered only the Eletre increase; a second Emeya source would make this airtight.
16. August 2024 base Eletre / Emeya (฿5.69 m) — the base Emeya now has two Thai sources (Autospinn 2024-08-05; Bangkokbiznews 2025-09-21, "EMEYA previously started at ฿5.69 m") and could be listed as a discontinued trim; the base Eletre is still Autospinn only.
17. Official price list — lotuscars.com/en-TH publishes no prices (checked 2026-11-03); a Wearnes price sheet would replace trade press as the primary source.
18. Importer entity — Bangkokbiznews's report on the MY26 launch event (2025-09-21) names Pacific Thai Motorsports Co., Ltd. (บริษัท แปซิฟิค ไทย มอเตอร์สปอร์ตส์ จำกัด) as Lotus Cars Thailand's official importer and distributor, while Autolife (2026-01-16) still says "imported by Wearnes Automotive". Whether this is a Wearnes entity, a successor or a reporting error is ยังไม่ยืนยัน; the DBD company register would settle it. (Bangkokbiznews³⁵)
