09 Owners experience 25 new Lynk & Co 08, what’s so good about it？
exterior design
On the basis of retaining the classic design elements, "Morning Blue" has been added, which still looks pretty cool, but I personally still like dark green more.
Lynk & Co’s 08 EMP adopts the design language of, and is also the first Lynk & Co car to adopt the new design language. The front face adopts a closed air intake grille in line with the characteristics of new energy vehicles, which is in sharp contrast to the big mouth shape of the 09 EMP. Although the front tooth light strip has caused some controversy, Lynk & Co conforms to the voice of the Internet and designs it as an optional package, consumers can choose freely according to their personal preferences. Personally, I believe that if the dental floss lamp is slightly reduced, the refinement of the whole vehicle will be further enhanced.
performance
In terms of power system, the 2025 Lynk & Co 08 EM-P power system is composed of a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine and a front single motor, with a torque of 280kW and a torque of 615N · m. With a 3-speed DHT gearbox, official data shows that its CLTC comprehensive cruising range can reach 1200km. Basically, there is no anxiety about battery life. From Guangzhou to Shantou, there is no need to replenish the full oil.
As an EMP owner, in comparison, my test drive experience is as follows:
- Zero hundred acceleration: the fastest 4.6s! 09 car owners expressed envy.
- Compared with the 09EMP long-range version of the 23 models, the 08 is more powerful at the start, thanks to the direct power output of the large motors (P3 + P4).
- The shock absorption setting is softer, but still maintains a certain toughness, similar to that of the G6, but it does not experience the excess shaking when it encounters fluctuations, resulting in a sharp overall performance.
- The roll during the turn is slightly more pronounced than the 09EMP, but it is still acceptable, which is understandable considering the soft adjustment of the McPherson suspension.
- The new model is also optimized for special weather perception such as rain and fog, special-shaped vehicle and obstacle recognition, and tunnel and ramp traffic scenarios, enhancing driving safety and convenience.
- After parking, you can set sentry mode, and parking is more secure.
Interior experience
In terms of interior design, the Lynk & Co 08 EMP generation’s interior still maintains a high level of design style, simple and atmospheric, forming a huge contrast with the complex and exquisite design of the previous generation of 09. However, the same as the 09, the "30" environmentally friendly cockpit that uses "zero harmful solvents, zero miscellaneous cotton, and zero asphalt" still lacks odor, reflecting environmentally friendly interior materials, which is really important. If you have a headache driving, there is a high probability that there are too many environmentally unfriendly volatiles in the car.
The high-quality materials and fine workmanship are used in the car to create a comfortable and luxurious driving environment. The seats provide good support and comfort, with moderate softness and hardness. The first sitting feeling is better than 09EMP, and it can win a good impression during static experience. However, due to the limited test drive time, the comfort of long-term driving cannot be fully evaluated.
However, it is worth mentioning that this update comes standard with Nappa leather seats, all four of which support ventilation, heating and massage functions to ensure the comfort of passengers. In addition, a 12V cigarette lighter interface has also been added to the rear, a refrigerator (with compressor), and camping equipment are not a problem.
In addition, the smoothness of the Flyme car system is impressive, but the overall performance is better than that of OSN, which 09 owners regret. The clarity of 360-degree images is similar to that of the 09, and it is estimated that the same supplier is used.
summarize
Lynk & Co 08 EMP has shown outstanding performance in terms of appearance, performance and interior. Its stylish and dynamic exterior design and high-quality interior are eye-catching, while the powerful EMP configuration brings an excellent driving experience to the driver, truly achieving high-speed not soft, low-speed saving money.
