Lynk & Co Z10

Buying the Z10 is a classic example of "I don't recommend it when you want to buy, but I'll really buy it myself" ?? Okay, just joking. Mainly because this car is cool. At that time, I compared several models.
1. The Zeekr 001. I didn't like its steering wheel. It's huge and not delicate enough. I heard it's also called the "electric Luxgen". And there was that well - known incident of three generations in one year, which made me give up the idea.
2. As for the Cyrus SF5, when it just came out, I went to have a look specifically. There were so many people. You had to wait for half a year to get the car after placing an order, and the configuration didn't make me eager to buy it.
3. Later, there was Lynk & Co's big promotion in August. I was a bit tempted. I collected information on various platforms every day and also went to see the car in person. I really liked the steering wheel and the center console. It can be said that they really appealed to me. I was just waiting for the price announcement at the press conference. But the press conference was a big disappointment, so I directly cancelled my pre - order. During the National Day holiday in October, I heard there were discounts. So I went to the dealership with my family. The attitude of the Amazon dealership was okay, and the discounts were quite substantial. The final negotiated price was also acceptable. But after getting the car, I found out it was produced in August. I felt like I bought a stock car. However, these are minor details. It's okay anyway as it's been less than three months.
4. User experience: The Bluetooth key on my phone is sometimes very sensitive and sometimes doesn't work. The sentry mode is quite useless. It only activates when it detects someone staying around the car for a long time. It's like if someone suddenly runs over, scratches the car and then runs away, the sentry mode may not even activate ??
5. Power consumption: I think the power consumption is quite high. On the highway, with music, air - conditioning and ambient lights on, it consumes 20 kWh. In the city, it's over 19 kWh. Without air - conditioning and ambient lights, it's over 16 kWh.
6. Interior: Well, in many places, couldn't they just spend a little more money to do a better job? There's a strip in front of the cup holder on the center console. A slight touch will leave a lot of scratches. Not to mention the pillar where the seat belt is. It's all scratched. They could at least give a grid for the glove box. It's too shabby. I don't know what material is used above the dashboard, and the texture is just so - so.
7. Space: It's big enough. Sometimes I think it's too big. I usually drive this car alone. It's wide and long, so it's not easy to park.
8. Seats: They're okay. I bought a lumbar support myself. I don't feel that the seats don't support my feet as some people say online. I don't feel very uncomfortable.
9. Driving experience: It's great. Overtaking is very reassuring, and the acceleration is still very fast. After all, Lynk & Co has a good driving foundation. But the steering wheel is really not as good as a round one.
10. Intelligent driving: I suggest you just ignore it. It's not extremely bad, but it's just average.

Summary: If you don't care much about intelligent driving and usually drive by yourself with certain skills and value the mechanical quality, I think you can buy it. If you care about intelligent driving, you'd better just walk away. I haven't experienced the convenience of 800V charging yet. Since I don't have a home charger, every time I go to a public charging station, it takes 1 hour to fully charge with one gun per charging pile and one and a half hours with two guns. I'll add more if I think of anything else.

[Space Performance]
The overall car is quite large, taking up about 10 square meters. The front of the car is relatively short, which makes the interior space quite long. I'm 186 cm tall and I don't feel crowded at all. I can stretch my legs and there's no headroom issue. Although the particularly thick door panels affect the lateral space, I think it's worth it for the sake of safety. Overall, I'm quite satisfied.
[Endurance and Energy Consumption]
The weather here in Shenzhen is still quite hot. When I first got the car, it was 34 degrees every day. The energy consumption was 15 - 17, and it could only run a little over 650 kilometers. Recently, it's getting cooler and I don't need to turn on the air - conditioner. The energy consumption per 100 kilometers has dropped to 10 - 14. It can be even lower if I don't turn on the stereo. I estimate it can run over 700 kilometers in the urban area. It seems that the air - conditioner and the stereo consume a lot of electricity. Turning them off can save at least 3 kWh.
[Assisted Driving]
There's still a lot of room for improvement in intelligent driving. During the National Day holiday, when I was driving on the highway, the car suddenly decelerated and changed lanes, and I got scolded by the car behind. I basically haven't used it since then. Currently, there are still bugs in lane recognition and speed limit recognition. I'll wait for the major update before using it again. For now, I still have to trust myself.
[Intelligent Cockpit]
There's no doubt that the car's infotainment system is very smooth, and the voice control is also quite useful. However, there are two issues. Firstly, there are too few apps in the car's system, only four or five. Secondly, it seems that the voice control isn't connected to a large - scale model. It just goes silent when faced with many questions. It still seems rather stupid.
[Most Satisfied Aspect]
The driving experience. Although it has mechanical suspension, it has achieved about 90% of the performance of the top - spec air suspension version. It's fine to drive in the normal comfort mode on a daily basis. It's very comfortable and the power isn't bad either. When you step on the accelerator deeply, you can still feel a strong sense of pushback. Moreover, I've found that the faster the car speed, the more stable the suspension is, and the slower the speed, the more bumpy it is. It doesn't shake much when going over speed bumps at a certain speed, but it still feels a bit stiff at low speeds.
[Least Satisfied Aspect]
The noise is a bit too loud. Both road noise and tire noise are quite obvious. The tires are mainly to blame as they perform worse in terms of grip and noise reduction.
In terms of software, both the car's infotainment system and the intelligent driving system are still at the factory version and I haven't received any update push. Many car owners who got their cars later than me have already received updates. I check every day but there's still no update push. Although Flyme Auto has done a good job on the basic functions, they need to quickly adapt the software. It's a waste of such a good chip configuration. Hurry up with OTA.

Previously, there were two gasoline cars in my family. One of them was almost 10 years old and had quite a few minor problems, such as oil leakage and aging seals. Actually, it was because the power was not good, so I wanted to change the car. I thought that since the national and provincial subsidies were still available, I'd better change the car quickly. Since there was another gasoline car in the family, I wanted to choose an electric car. I only use it within the city and rarely go on the highway, so a pure - electric car is more suitable. At that time, the pre - selected models were Xinghe E8, Jihu S5, Haobo HT, and Lynk & Co Z10. I test - drove the E8, S5, and Haobo HT and also negotiated the prices. Later, when browsing Douyin, I saw A Sen's shopping guide video about the Lynk & Co Z10. I thought the discount for the Z10 was okay. After all, it's a C - class car. Except that the battery is a bit sub - standard, other aspects like the chassis and configuration all meet my requirements very well. So I went to the 4S store to test - drive it and find out if the discount was the same as what was shown on Douyin. As for the appearance, opinions vary. Some people like it while others don't. Personally, I think it's okay. The shape is not strange. The workmanship and paint finish are also okay. The interior is nice, simple and elegant. The Harman Kardon audio system and the rear spoiler are also standard features. The space is very large, especially the legroom in the back seat. The test - drive car was the top - of - the - line model, which didn't have much reference value for me. The driving experience of the lowest - spec model I bought is also very good. It can even compete with the other BMW in my family. There is a bit of wind noise, and the tire noise is okay. The steering feel is good. It's just that I need to get used to the steering wheel. The accelerator has a slight delay, but I don't like it to be too sensitive, so it's not a drawback for me! The battery life is just so - so. The power consumption in autumn is around 15 - 16 kWh, and it will probably be around 18 - 19 kWh in winter. With the 72 - kWh battery of the lowest - spec model, it can only run for more than 400 kilometers. However, the charging is fast and convenient, so there's no range anxiety! Since I picked up the car, I've charged it twice. It can charge about 45 kWh in about half an hour. The charging speed is okay. I can just charge it while going shopping at the mall, and I don't need to spend extra time just for charging!
