Chinese automaker Lynk & Co has unveiled the boldly styled new Lynk & Co 08 SUV Hybrid Powertrains. As a pivotal model for Geely’s premium Lynk & Co brand, the 08 showcases avant-garde design, advanced technology, and electrified performance.
Avant-Garde Design Philosophy
Lynk & Co chief designer Andreas Nilsson describes the 08 as “rebellious, untamed, and always ready to fight complacency with bravery and audacity.” The company aims to capture the spirit of urban youth culture.
Futuristic Exterior Styling
Lynk & Co 08 exterior bucks traditional SUV proportions in favor of a sleek, coupe-like shape. Frameless doors enhance the boundaryless profile. Signature Y-shaped LED headlights draw inspiration from the Lynk & Co concept The Next Day.
The cage-type body utilizes 75% high-strength steel and aluminum. Hot-formed boron steel in the doors and an aerospace aluminum alloy collision beam maximize occupant protection.
Inside, a massive 15.4-inch center display and 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster create a high-tech ambiance. The 08 debuts Lynk & Co’s collaboration with Meizu Flyme Auto on an intuitive in-car interface.
Built on Geely’s CMA 2.0 architecture and Antora 
1000 Pro computing platform. It uses two 7nm chips for 16 TOPS NPU power rivaling the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155.
Powerful Powertrains
The 08 offers hybrid 2WD and 3-motor AWD configurations. Total system output climaxes at 436kW enabling sports car-like acceleration. Three available battery packs (21.2 kWh, 39.6 kWh, 39.8 kWh) deliver up to 245 km electric range and 1400 km total range.
