If you know something about Lynk & Co , then you must know that the Lynk & Co z10 unveiled tonight was supposed to be the brand's fourth pure electric car.
In 2020, An Conghui, as CEO of Geely Group, launched the Sea Haohan platform under the Lynk & Co brand, and also brought the first pure electric concept car under this platform - Lynk & Co zero concept.
However, less than a year later, in order to cope with the siege of new forces, this concept car joined the newly independent Ji Krypton brand with a new identity, so there was Ji Krypton 001 , and in the following years Ji Krypton again. Zero9 ef1e (now JiKrypton 009) and bx1e (now JiKrypton x) were released.
There is no doubt that these three cars have very strong product capabilities, so they can burst out with strong potential under the Jikrypton system. To this day, among the pure electric brands incubated by traditional car companies, Jikrypton can be said to be the most powerful. A successful one.
So, what should Lynk & Co, which has been silent for three years, do? The z10 released tonight gives a new answer.
Family Genealogy
If you want to understand Lynk & Co z10, you must first understand the "family genealogy" of sea's vast architecture.
Strictly speaking, the sea architecture is not a single vehicle platform. It is also divided into pma1 medium and large vehicle platform, pma2 medium/compact vehicle platform, pma2 platform and epa high-performance platform.
Lynk & Co z10 belongs to the pma1 medium and large car platform. Also belonging to this platform are Jikrypton 001, Lotus emeya, Polestar 4 and Jiyue 01, etc. Of course, according to the brand and product positioning, These cars will be distinguished in terms of configuration.
At tonight’s press conference, Lynk & Co officially stated that the z10 will be equipped with the best technical empowerment in terms of electric power and electricity, and will be equipped with a global 800v high-voltage platform, dual silicon carbide electric drive technology, and a 15-minute refueling range of 500km+ of gold brick batteries.
This also proves that the Lynk & Co z10 is not inferior to the new Jikrypton 001 in terms of electrical architecture, and it also means that Geely has basically achieved a level with Lynk & Co and Jikrypton.
In terms of chassis configuration, the Lynk & Co z10 not only has the dual-chamber air suspension and electromagnetic suspension on the Ji Krypton 001, but there are even reports that it will be equipped with AI digital chassis and rear-wheel steering technology, which shows that this car is still in the pure electric era. Lynk & Co retains its innate sports and handling genes.
As for the power configuration, although the official has not announced specific information this time, we can refer to the parameters of the new Jikrypton 001. The motor power of the rear-wheel drive version is 310kw, and the four-wheel drive version is 270kw+310kw. Even if such power performance is somewhat Shrunk, it is also top-notch among pure electric cars priced under 300,000 yuan.
Of course, for the relatively more people-friendly Lynk & Co brand, the above-mentioned cutting-edge configurations must only be available in high-end models. If you want to bring this car down to the 200,000-level market, you need to launch more mainstream-level models. Configuration version.
According to the brand and product positioning, the main models that Lynk & Co z10 directly targets are Xiaomi su7 and Zhiji l6.
So we guess that the Lynk & Co z10 is not equipped with an 800v high-voltage platform as standard for all series, but uses a combination of entry-level 400v + high-end 800v like Xiaomi, Zhiji .
Similarly, configurations such as air suspension, wire-controlled chassis, and high-end smart driving should be exclusive to mid-to-high-end models or available as options.
As for the price, we guess that the 800v version should be lower than the Jikrypton 001, while the 400v version will be equivalent to the 800v Jikrypton 007. In other words, the price range of the mainstream version is expected to be between 200,000 and 250,000 yuan.
strives for intelligence
After the comprehensive transformation to new energy, Lynk & Co has a significant change. In addition to the sports and performance labels, it has also added some luxurious atmosphere. The external performance is naturally the next day second-generation design. Language, and the internal changes are the improvement of comfort and the creation of atmosphere.
Whether it is last year's 08em-p or this year's 07em-p, they all well explain this series of changes. As the brand's first high-end pure electric vehicle, Lynk & Co z10 naturally elevates this to a higher level.
Officially stated that the Lynk & Co z10 is equipped with cloud-sensing zero-pressure nappa leather seats, and both the front and rear rows provide seat ventilation/heating/massage functions, which is stronger than the Jikrypton 001 and other models of the same level.
In addition, there are 23 speakers of panoramic sound (Harman Kardon + wanos) and emotional resonance RGB atmosphere lights.
In terms of intelligence, Lynk & Co z10 also comes up with a brand-new solution.
First of all, it is smart driving. Officially, Lynk & Co z10 supports high-end smart driving functions. The hardware uses NVIDIA orin x smart driving chip and is also equipped with lidar.
It can be found that the solution of Lynk & Co z10 is completely different from the mobileye solution adopted by Jikrypton 001.
Officially stated that Lynk & Co Z10 supports high-speed NOA and urban map-free NOA, but did not give a specific timetable.
It is worth noting that in the entire Da Geely Group, the Lotus team has previously adopted similar software, hardware and smart driving solutions, and may have integrated resources with Lynk & Co.
As for the cockpit, the Lynk & Co Z10 adopts the same layout as the Lotus emeya on the same platform, with an embedded strip-shaped LCD instrument panel, coupled with the HUD head-up display function, this design allows the driver to focus more on The driving experience itself.
Next is the car-machine experience. Since last year’s Lynk & Co 08 em-p, Lynk & Co’s car-machine system has undergone earth-shaking changes with the help of Meizu.
Lynk & Co z10 uses a large horizontal central control screen and is equipped with the latest generation of flyme auto. However, the official car chip has not been announced. It only says that the computing power is 1.8 times stronger than 8295. We guess it is the e05 or e05 self-developed by Yikatong. It is amd v2000 cockpit chip.
Generally speaking, although Lynk & Co has not yet shown strong potential in terms of smart driving, at least the z10 has excellent hardware foundation, and the room for imagination is relatively large.
When it comes to smart cockpits, you can always trust the capabilities of Meizu and Lynk & Co. After all, the "Hua Xiaomei" from mobile phone manufacturers are both in the first echelon.
is written at the end
After three years of silence, Lynk & Co finally released its first pure electric model. In this car, I believe you can still feel the personalized expression of Lynk & Co. For those who like this brand, z10 must be It's a car worth considering.
Of course, in the end, it still depends on the specific configuration division and pricing strategy. The pricing of this car must take into account many factors. On the one hand, it must cope with the competitive pressure of Xiaomi, Zhiji, Zhijie and other car companies, and on the other hand, it must not threaten To the high-end positioning of his brothers.
So what price do you think would be more appropriate? Welcome to leave your opinions in the comment area.
