Lynk & Co, a car brand jointly owned by Geely and Volvo Cars, plans to start pre-sales of the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) model at Auto China 2024, which starts on April 25, Mu Jun, deputy general manager of Lynk & Co Sales Co, Ltd. said on his Weibo page on March 15. In addition, the model's official market launch and deliveries are scheduled for May.
According to Mu Jun, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P will not be priced at 199,000 yuan as previously estimated. According to the sales plan, the first batch of Lynk & Co 07 EM-P demonstration vehicles should arrive at dealerships by the end of March, with a test drive expected in late April.
Built on the CMA Evo platform, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P inherits the headlamp design from the Lynk & Co 08, featuring distinctive 'Dawn Light' LED daytime running lights. The front fascia has a rounded shape and features a large air intake connected to the side air ducts, conveying a strong sense of sportiness.
The vehicle's side profile lowers the visual center of gravity with black A/B/C pillars and roof. It adopts hidden door handles, a common feature in new energy vehicles, enhancing its sleek appearance. The rear design follows the trendy through-type taillights, with four rectangular protrusions to increase recognizability. A black spoiler and large black rear bumper accentuate the sporty atmosphere.
The Lynk & Co 07 EM-P measures 4,827mm in length, 1,900mm in width, and 1,480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,843mm.
Inside, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P continues the design ethos of the Lynk & Co 08, featuring a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 15.4-inch central control screen with a super-narrow bezel and 2.5K resolution, running the LYNK Flyme Auto infotainment system co-developed by Lynk & Co and Meizu. The steering wheel's dual-color design is complemented by an elliptical metal decoration, adding a modern touch. The central console includes a wireless charging pad for smartphones.
Under the hood, the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P is equipped with a PHEV-dedicated system combining a 1.5T engine and an electric motor. The engine delivers a maximum power of 120kW, with a lithium iron phosphate battery supporting a WLTC range of 102km on battery power alone.
