\"Lotus<\/p>\n

While the word doesn\u2019t seem to exist in any language\u2019s dictionary, at least assuming Google translate is to be trusted, the folks at Lotus Cars have explained exactly what the name means. Derived from many different variations of the given-name Eve, it means \u201cthe first in existence\u201d or \u201cthe living one.\u201d Pretty fitting, in our opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvija is the perfect name for our new car because it is the first all-new car to come from Lotus as part of the wider Geely family. With Geely\u2019s support we are set to create an incredible range of new cars which are true to the Lotus name and DNA.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering instead why the vehicle was initially called Type 130<\/a>, this follows a Lotus trend that has been around for many, many years. The Type series is a series of vehicles that the brand begins hyping up before the official unveiling. The number that follows the word represents how many units of the given vehicle will be built. In other words, there will be 130 Evija models built.<\/p>\n

According to Lotus, Evija is pronounced \u201cehv-ee-yuh.\u201d Now you can talk about the vehicle with confidence!
