on the evening of september 5, the highly anticipated lynk & co z10 was officially launched in hangzhou, china, with a price range of 196,800 yuan to 288,800 yuan (limited time price).

there are detailed introductions and video interpretations of the static experience and dynamic test drive on the online car market and zhidian travel platforms, so i will not go into details here. however, how should we view the lynk & co z10? let's start with the following five details.

first: "the most beautiful lynk & co"

the length, width and height of lynk & co z10 are 5028*1966*1468mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3005mm, which has perfectly exceeded the standard of the "532 club" in the 200,000-300,000 yuan market. as a medium-to-large sedan in the traditional sense, this data level can even be said to have stepped half a foot into the concept of "executive-class car".

the 5028mm vehicle length means that the redundant space on the x-axis will be significantly better taken care of, whether in the front or rear rows; the 1966mm vehicle width slightly corrects the waistline while ensuring that it can fit into most parking spaces and even mechanical parking spaces; the 1468mm height keeps the drag coefficient as small as possible (only 0.198cd) while slightly taking care of the head space for people with taller stature; and the 3005mm wheelbase directly provides the most basic guarantee for the large space that chinese people love most.

therefore, coupled with the design from the "lynk & co the next day concept car", this lynk & co z10 is called the "most beautiful lynk & co", which is well deserved.

moreover, although the word "original" was mentioned intentionally or unintentionally at the press conference, we should never forget that lynk & co is not only a chinese brand, but also an "international brand" going overseas (with some "joint venture attributes" to a certain extent). therefore, if "friendly competitors" cannot go to europe and the united states for the time being, then lynk & co's "originality" will appear to be even more "precious".

in other words, the "most beautiful lynk & co" is at least the face of chinese cars.

second: the price exploded

the starting price of 196,800 yuan is a direct reduction from the previous pre-sale price of 215,800 yuan. taking into account the replacement advantages in the launch welfare package and the different subsidy policies given in some regions, the starting price can even be regarded as less than 180,000 yuan. at the same time, the price of the highest configuration is still no more than 300,000 yuan, which is basically considered to be a 300,000-level celebrity.

wow, this price is too good.

in the 200,000-300,000 yuan range, consumers’ demands are clearly divided. although the difference seems to be only 100,000 yuan, consumers who buy cars in the early 200,000 yuan range may actually “want” more than consumers who buy cars in the early 300,000 yuan range.

but it is obviously impossible for manufacturers to really "meet" the "more" demands of different consumers, after all, cost is the core issue. therefore, for lynk & co z10, if it wants to strike a balance between experience and cost, it can only choose to make certain compromises on "non-core issues" such as 400v architecture or 800v architecture.

therefore, the current price range is already the "greatest effort" made by lynk & co z10. not only do consumers want "them all", but lynk & co itself also wants "them all".

then lynk & co actually relied on cost control and the strong r&d advantages of geely group to reduce the price bit by bit. it has reduced the price to a level that even xiaomi and byd cannot reach, and even its brother zeekr may "bang the table and send a telegram overnight".

it would be strange if it didn’t explode.

third: who are the competitors?

the standard model adopts 400v architecture + single motor rear-wheel drive + dozens of standard features, while the high-end model adopts 800v architecture + dual motor four-wheel drive + high-end intelligent driving + other luxury configurations. it is hard not to associate this combination with xiaomi su7.

but xiaomi su7 is obviously not a real competitor of lynk & co z10. xiaomi su7 can't even reach 19.99, while lynk & co z10 is already 19.68...

even if we look at it rationally, if we only look at the domestic market, then in this price range, in fact, there are very few competitors that can compete with lynk & co z10 in terms of both size and quality. byd han ev has not been replaced for a long time; xiaopeng p7+ has not yet arrived; zhiji l6 and xiaomi su7 are both "smaller" in size; weilai et5 and avita 12 are even "too expensive"...

it can be said that lynk & co z10 has "either more space, higher configuration, better handling, stronger intelligence, or better cost-effectiveness" than its competitors at the same price... it has advantages in any comparison.

what if you go abroad?

0.198cd wind resistance, the world's first electromagnetic suspension technology, 800v silicon carbide power platform, ultra-long battery life and fast charging capability, amd s2000 chip which is more efficient than 8295 chip, better performance in smart cockpit and advanced intelligent driving... if compared with tesla model 3, volkswagen id.7 and bmw i3, it is purely a "dimensionality reduction attack".

lynk & co z10 actually has almost no rivals, it's that simple. the "competitors" you can think of are just because lynk & co z10 is in this range, and it itself has no absolute competitors.

it should be that others use lynk & co z10 as a competitor.

fourth: the real selling point

as lynk & co's first pure electric flagship sedan, the lynk & co z10 undoubtedly comes from the sea vast architecture, and there will be absolutely no problems with power, handling, performance, safety, etc.

this is the lifeline of the brand, and also the inherent advantage of the "big group" mentioned above.

so in terms of the basics of being a "car", you can completely trust the lynk & co z10.

the highest version offers dual-motor four-wheel drive, 810nm peak torque, 0-100 acceleration in 3.5 seconds, top speed over 250km/h, continental four-piston fixed calipers and brembo high-carbon brake discs, 21-inch michelin high-performance tires, dual-chamber air suspension + ccd continuously variable damping electronically controlled shock absorption system, maximum steady-state lateral acceleration of 1.1g, and elk test score of 85.1km/h...

these "strength-showing" parts make it impossible for you to "find faults". if there are any, you can definitely find them in the competitors, and more.

however, the smart cockpit uses the amd v2000a desktop-level system chip, and the smart driving is equipped with the customized high-end smart driving solution provided by lotus robotics - lynk lhp, which is the selling point.

the smart cabin can handle desktop applications and use the unreal 5 engine to provide real-time rendering. the computing power is even 1.8 times that of the 8295, etc. i won’t brag about it here. it can realize 33 intelligent driving assistance functions, high-speed noa can be opened at any time + urban noa future ota, and supports more than 200 types of intelligent automatic parking, etc. i won’t brag about it here. the important thing is that lynk & co has made up for its shortcomings in the "fuel vehicle era". with the performance of the first echelon of intelligence, can you find any shortcomings in lynk & co z10?

if you still want to find shortcomings, why not look back at the price?

fifth: subtle weaknesses

if you only read this far, you must think i am a lynk & co fanboy. sorry, i actually found two "hidden weaknesses" for you.

weakness 1: battery.

maybe you will ask, aren't all the brothers in the group using "golden brick battery"? what's wrong with that? coincidentally, it is precisely because they are all using it that you can see that one of the reasons behind the lowest price of less than 200,000 yuan must be the contribution of the 71-degree golden brick battery.

yes, the brothers all use 75 degrees, while lynk & co z10 uses 71 degrees. if you encounter a careful/serious consumer, it is not difficult for everyone to think of the principle of "the wool comes from the sheep". in addition, the entire series is actually "bric batteries" but no "kirin batteries" are given a chance, so this is the first difficulty of lynk & co z10, that is, some consumers believe in the weakness of the "ternary lithium" theory.

weakness 2: payment for advanced intelligent driving

the lynk & co z10's launch benefits package states: "noa subscription service benefits", which says "a free five-year high-end intelligent driving noa service worth rmb 20,000".

this means that the noa of lynk & co z10 needs to be paid.

although you bought the intelligent driving version, you can enjoy it after ota upgrade, but you can only enjoy it for free for five years, because you may have to pay after five years. of course, we believe that with the iteration of technology and cost control, coupled with lynk & co's consistent "conscience", you may continue to have ways (such as using co points) to enjoy the noa function for free after five years, but the core is that noa is paid.

therefore, you should be aware of this point: the noa of lynk & co z10 is not completely free.

in conclusion:

i really appreciate the positioning of lynk & co z10, "a new luxury smart c-class sedan", without emphasizing "pure electric". after all, with so many product advantages, it is easy to convert a gasoline car user into an electric car user. and what lynk & co z10 has to do is very simple, that is, to let users "stay" in lynk & co. from design, space, intelligence to performance and safety, lynk & co z10 has almost no shortcomings. it is not difficult to become a "benchmark".
