Geely-owned car brand Lynk & Co has launched a new plug-in hybrid sedan on its domestic market. Called the 07 EM-P, it is available since May 20 in three trim variants priced from 169,800 to 189,800 Yuan (US$ 24,000–26,800).
The 07 EM-P is the marque’s eight
production vehicle so far, but only its second sedan after the smaller model
03. It shares much of the design with the 08 SUV and runs on the same chassis
known as the CMA Evo. It is 4,827 mm long, 1,900 mm wide and 1,480 mm tall with
2,843 mm of wheelbase. The trunk fits 450 liters of cargo.
Customers can choose from five body colors
(blue, silver, grey, black and white) and two wheel sizes (18” and 19”). The
interior features a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, a 15.4-inch infotainment display
that can be tilted towards the front passenger seat, a large projected HUD, and
two removable 12.6-inch tablets for those in the back row (paid option).
Further options include heating, ventilation, massage and setting memory for
the seats, adaptive cruise control, surround-view cameras, and a handful of
smart assists.
The powertrain incorporates a 1.5-liter
turbocharged engine with 163 PS and 255 Nm of
torque and a single electric motor rated at 218 PS and 350 Nm. Their combined output reaches 381 PS. A
lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack stores up to 18.99 kilowatt-hours of energy
and yields 126 km of CLTC-rated electric range. Charging it from 30
to 80 percent takes 27 minutes. With a maxed-out gas tank and a fully charged
battery, the car can go on for 1,400 km.
