Lotus Emira Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Emira is Lotus's two-seat sports car. Data on it is limited, so this page sticks to the figures that sources give and labels estimates as estimates.

Prices change between model years, so check which year a quote refers to before comparing.

The 2027 range is $110,000 – $125,400, and the 420 Sport sits at the top of it.

The 420 Sport base price is $125,400, and the source labels it an estimate. Automotive Addicts also lists a starting price of $125,400 for the 2027 Emira 420 Sport. Since one figure is an estimate, confirm the final price with a Lotus dealer.

The 2025 Emira V6 coupe was listed at $102,250, per MotorTrend. The low end of the 2027 range is $110,000, and the source does not say which version that refers to.

Model year and version set the base, and the 2025 and 2027 figures differ. Options such as paint, wheels, and packages can add to the sticker, but no option prices were verified for this page.

Destination and state taxes are added to MSRP. Some 2027 figures are estimated and may change before cars reach dealers. Dealer markups and waiting lists can apply to popular specifications.

A new Emira lets you choose the version and options and comes with a manufacturer warranty. A pre-owned car is available sooner and may cost less, depending on year, mileage, and condition.

On a used car, ask for the service history and confirm the warranty status. Have it checked by a Lotus technician before you buy.

Beyond the purchase price, plan for insurance, tires, scheduled service, registration, and depreciation. Dealer coverage for Lotus varies by region, so check how far the nearest service center is. Ask about warranty terms and the maintenance schedule.

Lotus Cars' official US website and an authorized Lotus dealer are the sources for current pricing. Ask for a written quote that lists destination, options, and fees, and ask whether the figure is final or estimated.

Ask for an itemized quote showing the base price, options, destination, documentation fees, and any dealer-added items. Ask whether the price is final or an estimate, since some 2027 figures are labeled that way. Ask whether the car is in stock or has to be ordered, and how long an order takes.

If you plan to finance, compare the dealer's offer with a quote from your own bank or credit union. Compare quotes from more than one authorized dealer, because fees can differ.

A range such as the one for 2027 covers more than one version. The low end belongs to the least expensive version and the high end to the most expensive, and the source for this page does not name the version at the low end. When you shop, compare the same version across dealers and the same model year across sources, so the numbers line up.

The sticker is only the start of what an Emira costs. Option choices, destination, taxes, and insurance all raise the real cost of ownership, and each varies by buyer. Set a total budget before you visit a dealer and ask for the out-the-door figure, which is the number you will actually pay.
