Lotus has been making some changes to the plans for its lineup, as many brands have, as a response to changes in the market — or rather, changes to where automakers thought the market was going. Specifically, EV sales aren’t experiencing the rapid growth that was predicted.

Cadillac is a luxury brand, and the Escalade, especially, is a symbol of opulence and, often, status. It’s a nice SUV. Thirsty for gas, sure, but there’s something quite indulgent about its size, comfort, and power — especially in the V-badged trim.

Earlier this week, Toyota announced a deep discount for its 2025 bZ4X electric SUV, with a starting price $6,000 less than the 2024 model. Now, that SUV's nearly identical cousin with which it was co-developed is following suit, with the 2025 Subaru Solterra getting an even more dramatic price cut. The Solterra received some significant updates for the previous model year, so it carries over largely unchanged for 2025 with the exception of the new pricing, as well as a new Touring Onyx Edition with some visual upgrades to set it apart from the rest of the lineup.
