Lynk & Co 08: Dieser China-Hybrid fährt bis zu 200 Kilometer elektrisch
Endlich mal ein Plug-in-Hybridantrieb, der wirklich überzeugt: Der Lynk & Co fährt elektrisch überraschend weit – und ziemlich entspannt.
Cologne. Established Chinese brand Lynk & Co has struggled to make significant progress in Germany with its electric crossover, the 08 model. Despite being launched nearly five years ago, the brand has only sold just over 10,000 new vehicles. However, the company is now aiming to turn things around with the introduction of new models, such as the large crossover 08.
Lynk & Co gained recognition in Germany for its unconventional sales system, where the Crossover 02 was initially available only online through a subscription-based leasing model that included taxes, insurance, and maintenance in the monthly fee. The company has since abandoned this approach, entrusting the sales of its sister brand Volvo to Swedish subsidiary Volvo Cars.
Interestingly, the Lynk is built on Volvo's CMA platform, which also powers the more compact XC40. However, the two brands share a closer relationship with the Volvo XC70 Plug-in Hybrid, which is currently only sold in China.
