As a brand under Geely, LYNK & CO has gained significant market attention since its launch. With intensifying competition in the new energy vehicle sector, we must continuously optimize and innovate products to lead the market. Recently, official images of the new LYNK & CO 08 EM-P have been revealed. The new model features exterior upgrades and the addition of LiDAR, which will enhance its intelligent driving capabilities. This raises a key question for consumers: should you buy the new model or the current one?
New LYNK & CO 08 EM-P: Exterior Design and Dimensions
Compared to the previous model, the new LYNK & CO 08 has some minor exterior changes, particularly in the front headlights, which now feature a new “starry galaxy” element. It still retains the signature LYNK & CO family design. To give the vehicle a more dynamic look, the front fascia has a larger lower intake and side air ducts. On the side, a waistline connects the front and back, echoing the continuous taillight design.
The new model’s dimensions are 4825mm long, 1915mm wide, and 1660mm high, with a 2848mm wheelbase. For a family car, this space is decent, but those who prioritize more room should make comparisons when buying a car. Nonetheless, it’s generally sufficient for everyday family use.
New LYNK & CO 08 EM-P: Powertrain and Range
The powertrain remains consistent with the current model, featuring a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system. The single-motor version has a maximum power of 280 kW, while the dual-motor version produces 436 kW. In terms of range, the new car offers three CLTC pure electric range options: 120km, 245km, and 220km, which are the same as the current model. This range variety covers diverse usage scenarios, from short daily commutes to mid-to-long-distance intercity travel.
New LYNK & CO 08 EM-P: Intelligent Features and Upgrades
The main highlight of this update is the core intelligent feature upgrade: the addition of LiDAR hardware. The LiDAR unit significantly enhances the vehicle’s ability to perceive its surroundings, providing a solid hardware foundation for advanced intelligent driving functions. From a technical perspective, this upgrade can improve the vehicle’s stability in obstacle detection, lane keeping, and following other cars. However, the real-world performance of the LiDAR will depend on the software algorithms and specific function calibration, so it’s essential to watch for actual test results after the new car’s launch to fully understand the performance of its intelligent driving system.
Overall, the key differences between the new and current LYNK & CO 08 EM-P are the refined exterior details and the intelligent feature upgrade. Core product specifications like the powertrain, body size, and range remain unchanged. From a product iteration standpoint, this refresh focuses on boosting the model’s aesthetic appeal and technological attributes. It builds on the current model’s advantages in power and space while further strengthening its unique features to meet the higher demands for design and smart technology in the new energy vehicle market.
