Lynk & Co, operating under the Geely Group, has unveiled its new plug-in hybrid sedan model 10 EM-P with its official visuals. The model is planned to be offered for sale in the Chinese market in the third quarter of this year. The new sedan stands out as a striking alternative in its segment with its performance values and design.
Lynk & Co introduces its hybrid sedan model
The Lynk & Co 10 EM-P comes with a hybrid system that produces a total of 523 horsepower and 755 Nm of torque. The system is formed by the combination of a 1.5-liter turbo gasoline engine and DHT Evo transmission with the P4 electric motor placed on the rear axle.
The rear electric motor is activated in just 0.01 seconds when slipping is detected in the front wheels, increasing traction. This structure ensures that the vehicle is ambitious in terms of both performance and driving safety.
There are many striking details in the exterior design of the car. The slim LED daytime running lights, active rear spoiler, dual-tone 21-inch rims, black roof, prominent fender lines, hidden door handles integrated with the body and glossy black rear fenders emphasize the model’s sporty identity. The millimeter wave radar integrated into the air intakes at the front and the LiDAR sensor on the roof indicate that advanced driving assistance systems will be actively used in this model.
The dimensions of the vehicle are also remarkable in its class. The total length of the model is 5050 mm, its width is 1966 mm and its height is 1487 mm, while its wheelbase is 3005 mm. The sedan, which has a track width of 1698 mm at the front and 1710 mm at the rear, has an empty weight of 2137 kg to 2257 kg depending on the preferred battery capacity.
The Lynk & Co 10 EM-P has a 1.5-liter turbo engine coded BHE15-CFZ with 46.1 percent thermal efficiency. The maximum power of this engine is given as 120 kW (161 hp). On the electric range side, two different LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery options are offered. The 18.4 kWh capacity version provides a 100 km all-electric driving range according to CLTC measurements, while the 38.2 kWh capacity version provides a 192 km all-electric driving range.
Not all technical details have been shared yet, but previous information indicates that the model will be equipped with Nvidia Drive Thor-U (700 TOPS processing power) and Snapdragon 8295 chipsets, and will also come with an air suspension system. The model is preparing to intensify competition in the Chinese automotive market with both its technological infrastructure and electric range capacity.
