Verdict
At RM499,000, the Eletre 600 already brings 603 hp, 710 Nm, a 112 kWh battery and 600 km of claimed range. The RM569,000 GT SE is just as quick at 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and retains the same 350 kW DC charging rate, so the RM70,000 gap does not buy extra pace or range. It buys a panoramic glass roof and 22-inch wheels with wider tyres. For a Malaysian buyer, the regular 600 is the rational choice unless those visual and cabin upgrades matter greatly.
Pick the Lotus Eletre Eletre 600 if you want the same 603 hp, 600 km range and 4.5-second 0-100 km/h time for RM70,000 less.
Pick the Lotus Eletre Eletre 600 GT SE if the panoramic glass roof and 22-inch diamond-turned wheels are worth RM70,000 to you.
