Lynk & Co Z10: The Brand’s First All-Electric Sedan Shakes Up the EV Market
Lynk & Co, best known for its plug-in hybrid 01 SUV, has officially entered the battery-electric vehicle (BEV) market with the all-new Lynk & Co Z10 sedan. Priced from RMB 202,800 (around $28,600) — and even less with a limited-time discount — the Z10 offers remarkable value, undercutting its cousin, the Zeekr 001, by approximately RMB 62,200 ($8,800 USD) in China.
Performance and Powertrain
Built on the SEA platform shared with the Zeekr 001, the Lynk & Co Z10 is available in both 400V and 800V configurations.
- The base model features a 200 kW rear-wheel-drive (RWD) motor paired with a 71 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, offering a CLTC range of 374 miles.
- Higher trims come with a 95 kWh battery, and the RWD Smart Max version delivers an impressive 501 miles CLTC range.
- The flagship dual-motor variant (310 kW rear + 270 kW front) accelerates from 0–62 mph in 3.5 seconds and supports ultra-fast charging, adding 356 miles of range in just 15 minutes.
Design and Aerodynamics
The Lynk & Co Z10 embodies sleek, futuristic styling. Up front, it features split LED daytime running lights, while the rear showcases a full-width LED light bar. Its coupe-like silhouette, defined by a sloping roofline and rising beltline, contributes to an exceptional drag coefficient of 0.198 Cd.
In terms of dimensions, the Z10 measures 5,028 mm in length, 1,966 mm in width, and 1,468 mm in height, with a 3,005 mm wheelbase — comfortably placing it in the mid-to-large electric sedan category. Available colors include silver, red, blue, grey, and black.
Suspension duties are handled by a front double-wishbone and rear multi-link setup. The top-spec model adds dual-chamber air suspension, allowing for ±30 mm ride height adjustment to enhance comfort and handling.
Cutting-Edge Technology
The Lynk & Co Z10 is the first Chinese production car to integrate an AMD chipset. The AMD V2000A chip delivers 1.8x more computing power than the popular Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295, powering:
- A 12.3-inch digital instrument panel
- A 15.4-inch floating infotainment display
- An augmented reality (AR) head-up display
Additionally, the Z10 supports Flyme Link, enabling seamless connectivity between the vehicle and smartphone for shared features and apps. The CoPad system allows rear-seat passengers to control media and in-car functions via a connected tablet.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the Lynk & Co Z10 delivers a premium, tech-focused experience. It features a two-spoke multifunction steering wheel, leather-upholstered seats, and advanced comfort features such as heating, ventilation, and massage for both front and rear passengers.
The Harman Kardon sound system, with 23 speakers and a 1,600W amplifier, ensures an immersive audio experience. Select speakers are built into the headrests, leveraging WANOS panoramic sound technology for a 3D surround effect.
Autonomous Driving and Safety
The top-tier Lynk & Co Z10 variant comes equipped with 30 high-performance sensors and uses the Lotus Robotics ADAS platform. Validated across 30 countries, this system supports 33 driver assistance functions, including Highway NOA (Navigate On Autopilot) at launch. An Urban NOA feature will arrive later via OTA updates.
The Lynk & Co Z10 marks a bold step into the electric vehicle space for the brand, combining elegant design, high-end technology, and impressive performance at a competitive price point. With its long driving range, luxury features, and cutting-edge AMD-powered system, the Z10 positions Lynk & Co as a serious contender in the premium EV sedan market.
