Lynk & Co Lynk & Co 08 EM-P -Hybrid PHEV

【Car Buying Experience】
I looked for cars for almost half a year, checking out Deep Blue, Volkswagen, and AITO with my best friend, but none satisfied me. He mentioned going to see Lynk & Co, and I have to say it was really stunning. I fell in love with the 08 at first sight. After a long time of consideration, I still chose this big toy. For the color, I chose the Yaori Silver Black under my best friend's strong recommendation. A handsome guy's taste is really good; this color never gets boring no matter how many times I look at it. The night I picked up the car, when I parked it on the roadside, someone even came to ask what car it was, saying it looked so cool. Ha, compliments are really enjoyable no matter the occasion (people really do look when it's parked on the roadside; I showed off a little thanks to Lynk & Co, and it's so cool—choosing it was definitely right).

【Power Performance】
I had been considering whether to get the four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive version. After picking up the car, I found that the power difference isn't actually that big, and in the city, the 1.5T engine plus dual motors can already provide that push-back feeling.

【Space Performance】
The rear space is larger than I imagined, and the embedded seat design makes sitting in the back feel like "seeing all mountains as small," with everything in sight feeling like my domain (doge head for protection).

【Driving Experience】
Everyone's driving experience is different. The 08's power is enough to meet my power needs, so as long as it's not driven recklessly, both the driver and passengers will be very comfortable.

I'm honored to be a Lynk & Co owner. My family once said: "The most important thing about a car is safety; power, sound system, sofa, or TV are never the biggest selling points of a car." Backed by Geely and Volvo, choosing Lynk & Co gives me an extra sense of security (actually, it's also because the 03 won the TCR World Tour four times, which is so cool).

The appearance of this car is quite good, mainly due to its exterior design, which is suitable for both me and my wife to drive. The frameless doors with hidden window trim, along with the smooth and sophisticated side lines, result in a very high rate of heads turning on the road. People often ask what kind of car it is, satisfying my little vanity a bit. The AR-HUD supports three-lane display with 2K resolution, projecting various driving information directly onto the front windshield. I can see it without taking my eyes off the road, which is particularly practical and makes driving feel more technological. I am 180cm tall, and when sitting in the driver's seat, there is plenty of head and leg room. After adjusting the seat, the view is also very wide) Three adults sitting in the back seat don't feel crowded, and the backrest angle is adjustable, so it's not tiring to sit for a long time. The trunk space is also large enough for daily shopping or luggage during self-driving trips. The fast charging speed is not very fast, especially in winter when the charging time becomes significantly longer. Sometimes I have to wait a while when I'm in a hurry to go out; it would be better if the charging speed could be faster. The glove box space is a bit small and can't hold many things; the rear seats don't fold down completely flat, which makes it inconvenient to load some large items in the trunk.

【Car Purchase Experience】During the National Day holiday, I had a free day, so I took half a day to take my family to look at cars. We checked out Volkswagen, Toyota, Zeekr, and Avatr. On the way, we passed a Lynk & Co dealership and dropped in to see the 08. I had seen the green version of the 08 on the road before and thought its exterior design was good. As a mid-size SUV with a plug-in hybrid system, it’s suitable for people like me who have range anxiety. My family also liked the exterior, and the space met our expectations. After a brief test drive, we went back. The weekend after National Day, recommended by a friend at the Lynk & Co factory, we went to another dealership. After carefully learning about the product from the sales consultant and test-driving again, I discussed with my family and placed an order for the 120 Pro version on the spot.

【Space Performance】
It matches the size of a mid-size SUV. Of course, there is still a gap compared with the Avatr 07 and Li Auto L6, but overall, it can meet the space needs of a family of three for travel.

【Driver Assistance】
I didn’t drive much after picking up the car. Six days later, on the weekend, I took my family on a section of the old Chengdu-Chongqing Road, which has a speed limit of 80 km/h but many curves and ups and downs. I used the highway driver assistance on some sections, and it was overall satisfactory. On a relatively large curve, the system decelerated but still deviated from the lane, and the system promptly reminded me to take over. In short, this system is used to reduce fatigue during long highway drives, and you shouldn’t have too high expectations.

【Least Satisfactory】
When I went to the dealership to inspect the car on the day of pickup, I found obvious scratches on the black decorative panel under the rearview mirror and a small scratch on the driver's door, which were clearly transportation damages. My wife and I negotiated several solutions with the 4S store, and finally accepted a certain price reduction and requested repairs before deciding to pay and pick up the car. But as a 4S store, the front-end car receiving and PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) work was not done properly, which is a big problem.
