Swedish-Chinese premium car brand Lynk & Co wowed visitors at the still-ongoing Auto China 2024 in Beijing with its EM-P, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) powertrain based on the Lynk E-Motive platform.
The EM-P hybrid powertrain, showcased in models such as the 06 EM-P SUV, the 07 EM-P midsize sedan (which made its global debut at the show), and the luxurious 08 EM-P and 09 EM-P midsize SUVs, garnered strong attention and acclaim for its impressively long driving ranges and supercharged performance. The EM-P powertrain improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions while delivering a more comfortable, seamless driving experience with greater power and control.
The main drive motor of Lynk & Co’s EM-P boasts a power output of up to 215 hp, with the electric four-wheel drive mode achieving a total power of 585,hp enabling sports car-like 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just 4.6 seconds.
The synergy between the drive motor and hybrid engine delivers strong mid-speed acceleration, ensuring safe and decisive overtaking maneuvers. Lynk & Co’s EM-P features direct and parallel drive modes with the hybrid engine regulating speed across three gears, which maintains torque and minimizes power loss at any battery level, ensuring quick acceleration and consistent power delivery.
Vehicles equipped with Lynk & Co’s EM-P have a maximum electric range of up to 245 kms and a combined range exceeding 1,000 kms, with the highest recorded at over 1,400 kms, which can significantly reduce range anxiety for car owners.
Lynk & Co’s 09 EM-P vehicle showcased at the show features a luxurious cockpit, a 15.4-inch ultra-clear central control large screen, with a pure electric range of 160km and a cruising range of a stunning 1,100 kilometers. It has passed 175 battery safety tests and won a gold medal in the large SUV group in the World Intelligent Driving Challenge 2023.
In 2023, Lynk & Co’s sales exceeded 220,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 22.3%, with new energy vehicle sales maintaining growth for six consecutive months, reaching 55.3% of overall sales by the end of 2023.
Born digital and crafted in Sweden, the models on display exemplify the deep integration of global resources and technological synergy.
