The 08 boasts a WLTP-rated battery range of 200 kilometers, the longest among plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in Europe, according to the company. When fully charged and fueled, it can travel up to 1,100 kilometers. “It’s a powerful, refined, and efficient SUV that delivers an exceptional driving experience. With its extended electric range, the 08 bridges the gap to full electric mobility,” said Nicolas López Appelgren, CEO of Lynk & Co International. The vehicle also supports DC fast charging, recharging from 10% to 80% in 33 minutes.

First launched in China in September 2023, the Lynk & Co 08 is available there in six variants, with starting prices ranging from RMB 185,800 ($25,600) to RMB 248,800. The model’s battery range varies by trim, from 102 km to 205 km under WLTP testing.
