Lynk & Co kicks off pre-sales for electric sedan in China
Lynk & Co unveiled the new electric sedan in June. The main features were already known beforehand. This is because the Z10 is the series version of the concept called ‘Lynk & Co The Next Day’. The model is based on Geely’s SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform and measures 5,028 x 1,966 x 1,468 mm with a wheelbase of 3,005 mm.
According to CN EV Post, the electric sedan is available in five versions, including three with 400-volt and two with 800-volt architecture. The motorisation varies between rear-wheel and all-wheel drive with up to 310 kW and 580 kW respectively. The LFP battery options available are 75 and 95 kWh battery capacity, which should be sufficient for ranges of 602 km, 766 km, 806 km and 702 km in the Chinese CLTC cycle, depending on the version.
The Lynk & Co Z10 has a sporty look with split headlights, a fast-sloping roofline reminiscent of a coupé, 21-inch wheels, a full-width rear light and an extendable spoiler. One of the most important exterior elements is the RGB lighting at the front and rear, a design feature that is intended to appeal to gamers and other young customers in particular.
The Z10 also has a LiDAR sensor for automated driving functions. Other highlights include a full glass roof, a compact digital instrument cluster integrated into the dashboard, a free-standing 15.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a steering wheel with a flattened lower rim.
There is currently no word on a possible global market launch of the vehicle – but the world premiere took place two months ago in Gothenburg, Sweden, which could indicate that the car will also be sold in Europe in the future. Lynk & Co has been present in Europe since the end of 2020, but only with combustion engines. In any case, the brand’s business has so far been based on partially electrified vehicles at most. Lynk & Co’s core brand values are highly connected models and direct sales strategies to attract young buyers in particular.
