5 years ago, Lynk & Co launched the brand's first sedan Lynk & Co 03, as a representative of sports models in its own brand, the Lynk & Co 03 family has won the love of a large number of young consumers in the market. Today, 5 years later, Lynk & Co has launched a new sedan - Lynk & Co 07 EM-P. After 5 years, what kind of achievements will Lynk & Co's new sedan create?
On the evening of May 17, Lynk & Co 07 EM-P was officially launched, with a total of three configurations, namely the 126 long-range Pro model of 169,800 yuan, the 126 long-range Halo of 179,800 yuan, and the 126 long-range Ultra of 189,800 yuan.
Based on the CMA Evo architecture and equipped with a 1.5T EM-P plug-in hybrid system, the new car is Lynk & Co's first plug-in hybrid sedan and the first new car in 2024. Different from the Lynk & Co 03 of the year, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P is more elegant while being sporty, and the target group has also become consumers of medium-sized cars.
From the product point of view, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P has a significant design that is biased towards home consumers, such as more comfortable seats and a 71% EFF. At the same time, thanks to the cooperation with Meizu, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P will provide users with a better intelligent experience with the blessing of Meizu's FlymeAuto car machine system. Of course, personality and sportiness are the soul of the Lynk & Co brand, and in terms of power and handling, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P also provides strong product power.
This Lynk & Co is the "young man" of the Gu family
Among many domestic car brands, the label of Lynk & Co is extremely obvious, and when it comes to this brand, most people think of "this is a young brand". Judging from its models, the early 03 and 05 are sports models with distinct personalities, but from the 08, 09 and other models, you will find that Lynk & Co is already a young man with a Gu family.
And this is also deeply reflected in the Lynk & Co 07EM-P. The body length of the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P is 4827mm, the width is 1900mm, the height is 1480mm, and the wheelbase is 2843mm. Looking at the data, it is 60mm shorter than the Camry, but the wheelbase is 18mm longer than the Camry. The idea seems to be to leave as much better riding space in the car as possible while retaining the sporty attributes, and this design of the short front overhang body also makes the Lynk & Co 07EM-P have a room rate of up to 71%.
In addition, the Lynk & Co 07EM-P seat has also begun to focus on comfort. The front and rear seats of the new car support heating, massage and ventilation functions, and provide 3 massage intensities and 7 modes to choose from. Metal backplates are added to the backrests of the rear seats to improve support and puncture resistance, further enhancing ride comfort. Especially in the rear, in addition to the softer seats, the rear center armrest has a full-length design, which also adds to the sense of luxury. At the same time, the designers also made the backrests of the front seats leather-wrapped, and retained the map pockets, which was rare on previous Lynk & Co models. The rear seats and the middle of the door frame are also upholstered in leather to ensure the comfort of the occupants. In addition, the rear row of Lynk & Co 07 EM-P can also be equipped with two screens and multi-screen linkage to achieve "controllable, watchable, and entertainable", forming a preliminary ecology.
Lynk & Co 07 EM-P also uses the well-received Harman Kardon audio on Lynk & Co 08 EM-P, Class D power amplifier chip, 7.1.4 multi-channel, the whole car is equipped with 23 speakers, Lynk & Co and Harman Kardon have also teamed up with Harman Kardon to carry out special tuning for the sedan space to achieve the top sound field shared by the whole car. Lynk & Co 07 EM-P introduces WANOS Atmos for the first time, it is the only technology company in the world and the only one in China with panoramic sound solutions, with high-quality panoramic sound source, Lynk & Co 07 EM-P will bring users a new three-dimensional immersive auditory feast.
In addition to the more obvious household attributes, the smart attributes of the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P are also relatively strong. The combination of a 15.4-inch floating large screen inside the cockpit, a suspended full LCD instrument, and a suspended interior atmosphere light highlights the vehicle's sci-fi feel. The biggest highlight of the built-in Flyme Auto Meizu car machine system in the central control is that it can be seamlessly connected with the mobile phone, and its operation logic is similar to that of the mobile phone, the interface design is very simple, the overall graphics are the mainstay, and it is adapted to all kinds of APP, which is practical without a sense of disobedience. With Geely's self-developed "Dragon Eagle No. 1" chip (similar in computing power to Qualcomm 8155), it supports 5G network, four-area voice wake-up, visible and speakable, and multi-task simultaneous operation. It is worth mentioning that it is equipped with an AR-HUD with a size of 92 inches, the middle is the vehicle speed, the right is the maximum speed limit, and the TSR function - it can be adjusted according to the roadside signs, and the left is assisted driving and navigation information.
Design can always trust Lynk & Co to handle
As far as the Lynk & Co brand is concerned, there is a saying in the market called "design, you can always trust Lynk & Co", and the reason is not only for its good looks, but also for its originality. In the case of the Lynk & Co 07EM-P, the iconic "Dawn Light" daytime running lights are highly recognizable. The side of the body is "dawn carving", only the shoulder line is more obvious, and the beauty of its design is changed by light and shadow, the most characteristic of which is the "dawning blade" formed by the C-pillar and D-pillar, which is also the most recognizable place of Lynk & Co 07. As far as the overall shape is concerned, it is also sporty and elegant.
In addition to design, another of Lynk & Co's fine traditions is handling, and the Lynk & Co 07EM-P is no exception. The Lynk & Co 07 EM-P adopts the same power system as the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P, equipped with the Lynk & Co EM-P plug-in hybrid system, using a 1.5T electric hybrid engine and a 3-speed DHT Evo dual motor system, with a maximum engine power of 120kw, a comprehensive power of up to 280kW, and a comprehensive torque of 615N·m.
This powertrain gives the new car 6.5s of 000 acceleration ability, frankly this data is not top-notch in today's cheap acceleration performance, but it can still be counted as the fastest gear.
Moreover, sports models can never only be "silly fast". The Lynk & Co 07EM-P is equipped with the same front MacPherson rear multi-link suspension as the Lynk & Co 08, reaching a 26.5mm lateral stabilizer bar, which can achieve both a sense of luxury and sportiness. At the same time, its braking and elk test results are also excellent, with a braking distance of only 35.5 meters per 100 kilometers, which is better than the BBA's 34C, and the elk score of 81.4km/h, which is faster than many entry-level luxury cars.
Of course, as a plug-in hybrid model, energy consumption is also a standard to measure the competitiveness of the model, Lynk & Co 07EM-P can provide four driving modes, in the super range extension mode, according to the speed and road conditions to intelligently adjust the working status of the vehicle, intelligent switching electric drive, direct drive, parallel, matching 3 speed shifting, the system is always maintained in the efficient and economical operation range, refusing to lose power and high energy consumption, coupled with intelligent energy management strategy, the whole process algorithm helps save energy. According to official data, it has a CLTC pure electric range of 126 kilometers, a comprehensive range of 1,400 kilometers, and a fuel consumption of only 4.8L/100km.
In terms of intelligent driving, the Lynk & Co 07EM-P is equipped with L2 intelligent driving, Tianqiong Pro intelligent driving computing platform, with 28 intelligent perception hardware, up to 32 intelligent driving assistance functions, FCW front collision warning system, HWA Plus highway driving assistance system and other functions, reducing the driving burden, and more timely warning and intervention before danger comes. In addition, the high-speed NOA function is planned to be officially launched in the fourth quarter.
Overall, the Lynk & Co 07EM-P is one of the few exquisite and luxurious mid-size plug-in hybrid sedans built for young users, which not only maintains the original sports heritage of Lynk & Co, but also has a significant improvement in comfort and intelligent attributes. From the price point of view, its starting price of 169,800 is easier to match the wallets of young people.
