Verdict
At RM459,000, the Emeya 600 is the rational Malaysian buy: it matches the GT SE’s 603 hp, 710 Nm, 102 kWh battery, 610 km range and 4.15-second 0-100 km/h time. The RM60,000 step to RM519,000 buys 21-inch diamond-turned wheels with wider 265/40 front and 305/35 rear tyres, replacing the 20-inch Aero Grey rims with 255/45 and 285/40 rubber. No extra motor output, range, charging rate or safety kit comes with it. Choose the GT SE only if those larger wheel and tyre specifications matter to you.
Pick the Lotus Emeya 600 if you want the same 603 hp, 610 km range and 420 kW DC charging for RM60,000 less.
Pick the Lotus Emeya 600 GT SE if its 21-inch silver diamond-turned wheels and wider tyre package justify the RM60,000 premium for you.
