The base model features a 200 kW rear-wheel-drive motor paired with a 71 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, delivering an impressive CLTC range of 374 miles.

It also supports ultra-fast charging, adding 356 miles of range in just 15 minutes.
Sleek Design and Aerodynamic Efficiency
The Z10 is designed with a modern, aerodynamic look, featuring split LED daytime running lights at the front and a continuous LED light strip at the rear. Its coupe-like silhouette, characterized by a sloping roofline and rising beltline, contributes to an impressive drag coefficient of 0.198 Cd.
Measuring 198 inches in length, 77.4 inches in width, 57.8 inches in height, and with a 118.3-inch wheelbase, the Z10 is firmly positioned in the mid-to-large sedan category. The model is available in a range of colors, including silver, red, blue, grey, and black.

The Lynk & Co Z10 is the first Chinese production car to feature an AMD chipset, specifically the AMD V2000A, which offers 1.8 times the computing power of the mainstream Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295.
This powerful chip powers the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 15.4-inch floating multimedia display, and an augmented reality head-up display.
For seamless connectivity, the Z10 supports Flyme Link for integrated account and ecosystem sharing between the car and a smartphone. Additionally, the CoPad functionality allows rear-seat passengers to enjoy entertainment and control various in-car features via a connected tablet.
