2026 Lynk Co 10 EMP
By Lorenzo Bianchi July 8, 2025
- 523 hp plug‑in hybrid powertrain, combining twin electric motors and a turbocharged petrol engine.
- Executive sedan design, stretched proportions on a fastback silhouette with LiDAR and refined surfaces.
- Starting price around RMB 200,000 (~US 27,900) in China, targeting luxury plug‑in hybrids globally.
Design & Proportions
Visually, the Lynk Co 10 EMP speaks luxury without shouting. It’s 5,050 mm long and 1,966 mm wide—wider and longer than its Z10 sibling. The flush door handles, frameless mirrors, and roof-mounted LiDAR suggest sophistication. Wheel options reach up to 21 inches. Body surfaces flow smoothly into a fastback rear with a subtle lip spoiler and vertical dash-line tail light motif—modern, but not overstyled.
Powertrain That Packs a Punch
Under the bonnet lives a 1.5 L turbo petrol engine plus front and rear electric motors. Combined output hits a hefty 523 hp, pushing 0–100 km/h in about 5.1 seconds. Two battery options offer either ~100 km or ~192 km electric range (CLTC). Quick-charging capability restores 30–80 % in around 15 minutes. In a world full of EVs, this hybrid leans hard into performance and utility—not just efficiency.
Interior & Tech Feel
Step inside and it's a polished cabin with a 15.4″ central screen popping up, and a 23‑speaker Harman Kardon system that feels like it could fill a concert hall. Seats are massaging, heated, ventilated—and all four corners get them. Rear occupants get flat-floor space, heated seats, fold-down trays and even an onboard fridge in the center console (± –6 °C to 50 °C). It’s luxurious, but never overdone.
Competitors & Market Position
With pricing starting around RMB 200,000 (~US$27,900), the Lynk Co 10 EMP slots neatly under pure EVs, yet its twin-motor, twin-battery layout edges it into rival territory with BYD Han PHEV and flagship performance hybrids. It’s aiming at buyers in China and abroad who want smart tech (Nvidia Drive Thor-U based ADAS), style, and hybrid performance without the range anxiety of pure EVs.
Visual Tech & ADAS
A lidar unit sits discreetly atop the windshield—part of the G-Pilot H7 ADAS system backed by Nvidia’s 700TOPS Thor-U chip. You get hands-free highway driving, urban navigation, and automatic parking, plus over-the-air updates and 5G connectivity. The tech feels actualized—not just checkbox features.
