We have dismantled a lot of Lynk & Co models, so the Lynk & Co 08 must be bought to study well, we bought a 2023 220km time limited edition, the official guide price is 2820 thousand. Without further ado, let's just look at the car!
Design. Matter.
The appearance is not quite the same as the Lynk & Co we dismantled before, but it is very similar to the Zeekr X. Whether such a design meets your liking or not, we still have the same old adage, and we will see if we have any opinions.
LED high and low beam headlights are standard on all variants, with automatic headlights and automatic high and low beams as standard, while the top-of-the-line variant also comes with headlight steering and matrix headlight functions.
The dimensions of the vehicle are 4820x1915x1685 mm, and the wheelbase is 2848 mm, which is one lap smaller than the Lynk & Co 09 and the size of the Volvo XC60 is not much different.
The car features hidden door handles that escalate up and retract.
The exterior mirrors are frameless, and the adjustment is not mirror-filled, but the entire rearview mirror swings together, which is similar to the Polestar 2 and ZEEKR X.
There are many places such as air conditioning vents on the doors with Lynk & Co's English logo.
The car is a plug-in hybrid with fast and slow charging ports.
This car can be filled with No. 92 gasoline, using a high-pressure fuel tank that can meet environmental protection standards, and to open the fuel tank cap, you need to press the button in the car to release the pressure and unlock.
The rear of the car adopts the current mainstream through-type taillights.
The rear wipers are concealed and hidden in the small rear wing above.
The trunk space is relatively large, and the opening is also large, which is very convenient to take items.
There's not much extra storage space under the trunk cover, with an inflatable pump and sealant.
Interior design. Self-developed chips.
Compared with the previous Lynk & Co model, the interior design of this Lynk & Co 08 is more concise, with a larger screen, more like a new energy vehicle.
The steering wheel has also undergone a lot of changes, canceling the touchpad on the previous Lynk & Co 09 and using the arrow keys for control instead, and the voice control buttons are designed under the steering wheel.
Unlike the previous Lynk & Co, this car has switched to the popular wisp electronic gear shift lever on new energy vehicles.
The A-pillar part of the driver's position is designed with a face recognition camera.
The car carried a piece of 12The 3-inch LCD instrument cluster displays a lot of information and is designed in a style much like Tesla.
In addition to the low-end models, the rest of the models are equipped with AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display as standard, which not only has a large display area, but also has a clear projection effect, and even supports ** projection.
The central control screen uses a piece of 15The 4-inch large LCD screen surpasses the previous Lynk & Co models. Since Geely acquired Meizu, although it is still Android ASOP, Meizu Flyme OS has greatly strengthened the performance of the car machine, especially the use of the floating window function, which makes the operation of the car machine system even more icing on the cake. This can be regarded as making up for Geely's last shortcoming! It can be said that this car machine system is currently a system that can compete with Huawei Hongmeng car machine OS!
What is admirable is that when everyone is desperately placing an order for Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 or Snapdragon 8259, this Lynk & Co 08 is actually equipped with two pure domestic automotive-grade 7nm process chips - "Dragon Eagle No. 1"! *The business comes from Geely's own chip company, Hunan Xinqing Technology. "Dragon Eagle No. 1" uses 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU, and "NPU" to turn into a convolutional neural network engine with a computing power of 8TOPS INT8. The CPU computing power can reach 90 100K DMIPS, the GPU computing power is 900+ Gflops, and the NPU computing power can reach 8TOPS. In addition, there is a display processor VPU, DDR5 memory, PCIe 30 channels, UFS memory, and DSP processors. Directly benchmarked against Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8155, the performance is equal. However, this chip is still not produced domestically, but is OEM by TSMC.
In any case, you can see a 7nm automotive-grade intelligent cockpit chip with pure independent intellectual property rights, installed on a domestic independent brand car, and you don't need to look at Qualcomm's face to act, which is much more comfortable!
There is wireless charging for mobile phones under the screen, which supports wireless fast charging.
The cup holder has a storage function that allows you to change the space as needed.
*There is a camera above the mirror, but there is no physical obstruction.
Seating space. It was spacious.
All four doors are frameless.
The in-car unlocking is an electronic button, but it also retains the physical cable emergency unlocking.
This car still maintains the traditional glass lifter, and does not use the current popular paddle type glass lift knob, to be honest, it is still easy to operate in this traditional way.
All the seats are wrapped in leather, and our top-of-the-line model is wrapped in suede, which is really hard to describe. However, the seat comfort is very good, the padding is not soft or hard, and it fits the body very well. All front seats are equipped with heated and ventilated seats as standard, as well as massage functions.
The co-pilot supports a zero-gravity seat, and the headrest also has an audio function.
The wheelbase of this car is more than 28 meters, the second row has plenty of legroom, and the rear row is equipped with independent air conditioning vents. The rear ** floor has a certain bulge, but it is not high.
The comfort of the rear seats is comparable to that of the front, and the rear seat backrests can be adjusted in two positions. What's more amazing is that the rear seats support seat massage, but they don't support seat heating and ventilation.
Totalknots
Make up for the last "short board".
The overall design of this Lynk & Co 08 is more inclined to new energy vehicles, many of which use the design of Zeekr and Polestar, with a simpler interior, a larger screen, and even the gear lever has become a common pocket gear for new energy vehicles, while most of the previous Lynk & Co are gasoline cars with relatively traditional designs.
After Geely's acquisition of Meizu, the Flyme OS system can be said to make up for Geely's last shortcoming. In an environment where everyone is chasing Qualcomm chips in the United States, this Lynk & Co 08 uses a self-developed 7nm automotive-grade chip, which is indeed respectable.
So what about the driving qualities of this car? Please also stay tuned for the follow-up car dismantling content. (The conclusion of the measurement data in this article and ** is only responsible for this vehicle, and the measurement data is responsible for the published experimental method.) ）
