finally, lynk & co’s first pure electric model, the z10, was launched tonight.

half a month ago, the car started pre-sale with a starting price of 215,800 yuan, and key information such as battery capacity, battery life, and motor power were reported.

tonight, the official price has dropped sharply. there are 5 configurations in total, and the official guide price is 202,800-299,800, but now there arelimited time price: rmb 196,800-288,800.

a drop of nearly 20,000, isn’t that exciting?

but judging from the feedback in the live broadcast room and on the internet, many people felt that the price was higher than expected, and some even chose to cancel their subscriptions.

as for whether this car is worth it? some time ago, brother neck also test-drove a four-wheel drive top configuration. you can refer to my experience first and then draw a conclusion.

without further ado, let’s follow the old routine and briefly go over the exterior and interior.

the z10 was born on geely's signature sea architecture, a standard c-class car with a length of 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3 meters, about the same size as the xiaomi su7. the zeekr 001 and galaxy e8 were also born on this platform, so the three of them are considered brothers.

the toad-shaped lights and small vertical bars on the exterior are all very familiar lynk & co design languages, and have appeared on lynk & co 07 and 08.

but the z10 has removed the frameless rearview mirror and replaced it with a traditional one. lynk & co's engineers said that this is because the base of the frameless rearview mirror is thicker and does not match the shape. to be honest, i quite like the frameless one.

the picture above is lynk & co z10, the picture below is lynk & co 07

another feature is that the small vertical lights on the front and back of the z10 look ordinary, but they are actually rgb lights. there are three light show modes in the car computer, and when you turn it on, the ghost fire boy will appear immediately.

however, due to regulations, this function can only be used when parking.

what attracted me most in the interior was the long instrument screen of the same type as that of lotus, equipped with hud, which has all the necessary information.

i think the overall materials used are still somewhat inferior to zeekr, but there are some details, such as the small rose gold decorations on the glasses case and wireless charging pad, which really impress me.

as a tram,the z10 does not have a front trunk.you should know that both zeekr 001 and galaxy e8 have front trunks. i opened the lid and took a look. i felt that if i evenly spaced it, i should be able to make one.

the manufacturer said that after research, they found that the usage rate of the front trunk was very low, so they removed it.

logically, removing the front trunk should increase the interior space, but the z10 doesn’t seem to save much space inside the car…

the leg and headroom in the rear seat of this car are okay in its class, but the problem is that the backrest is very upright and straight, and the angle cannot be adjusted, which may not be comfortable for long-distance driving.

perhaps to make up for this, it is equipped with a whole set of large sofas with high configuration.

the front seats have lumbar support, massage and leg support, and even the back seats have heating, ventilation and massage, and each function has three levels. seriously, buddy, you are too crazy...

there are also air-conditioning vents behind the center console and on both sides of the b-pillars in the rear row, just in case the air volume in the rear row is not enough. as far as i can remember, the last car that did this was the ideal l7, which is always mentioned as "home" (but the l7 facelift has cancelled the b-pillar vents).

seeing this, everyone probably thought that this car is the same as lynk & co 07 and 08, taking a comfortable route. well, it's just the opposite.the z10 is a true sports car, and i think it is one of thegreen cardthe best driving model of lingketou.

the motor power of the z10 four-wheel drive model is 580kw (270kw front + 310kw rear), which is exactly the same as the zeekr 001, but itall systems are lithium iron phosphate, and the 0-100 acceleration is 3.5 seconds , while the ternary lithium version of zeekr 001 can achieve 3.3s.

it has 6 driving modes in total. in sport+ mode, the chassis is extremely low, only 100 mm from the ground, almost like a supercar. so this car should never be driven in this mode when going up and down the basement.

in comfort mode, the chassis height is around 129mm, which is normal for a sedan.

this dual-chamber air suspension + cdc configuration allows its comfort and sports modes to be very different. the contrast is very obvious when going over speed bumps. the sports mode is so hard that it can push people away, while the comfort mode is much softer.

there are three levels of power steering, and the difference is very obvious.tight for sport, loose for comforti haven’t felt such a big difference in zeekr’s cars.

the chassis of the car is very complete, and it has good follow-up performance whether it is high-speed cornering or fast lane changing. when encountering undulations on the road, the body responds very actively, and some large potholes are filtered out with a click.

however, during the test drive, there were two things i was not quite used to. first, the hardness of its suspension can only be adjusted according to the driving mode and cannot be adjusted separately. for example, i wanted to set the suspension to the hardest in the energy-saving mode, but there is no such setting. i think lynk & co, a sporty brand, should open this permission to users.

the second is the front part of the brake. the kinetic energy recovery intervention is very strange, which is about 1/5 of the pedal's travel. i am always unsure of how deep i should press the pedal, so i don't have enough confidence in braking at high speeds.

after talking about driving, let’s take a look at its intelligent functions.

lynk & co still uses the familiar flyme auto car machine this time, but the chip has been upgraded. this time it is the first to launch amd's v2000a chip. the official said that the computing power can reach 1.8 times that of qualcomm 8295.

su's mother also recorded a video specifically for the press conference and sent many blessings.

during the actual experience, there was no problem with the smoothness of the car computer. the rain outside could be rendered on the car computer. the various animation details were also very rich, and it was still at the first-tier level of car computers.

moreover, this chip is based on the same x86 architecture as computer cpus. before lynk & co, only tesla used amd chips in its car computers. other companies are using qualcomm, which is based on the same arm architecture as mobile phone cpus.

as we all know, x86 has an advantage in game compatibility. this time, lynk & co really put the game into the car.

z10 made ae-sports customized version, amd rx6600m independent graphics card, 90hz high refresh screen, gaming chair, solid-state drive, and even a table for keyboard and mouse.

i don't know what system it uses, is it linux?

the e-sports version can only be installed on two high-end models, with an additional price starting from 30,000 yuan. the exact price will be known at the meizu xingji launch conference in some time.

in the past, we used to play games in the car as a joke, but i didn't expect that lynk & co would listen to it and make it happen. really, gamers are crying.

after talking about the car computer, let’s take a look at its intelligent driving.

the z10 has a laser radar and uses an orin-x as the intelligent driving chip. the official said that it can support high-speed noa and urban noa. high-speed noa is included in delivery, while urban noa will have to wait for subsequent ota.

its intelligent driving solution was developed by lotus. well, before, zeekr alone had two intelligent driving solutions, and now lynk & co also has two intelligent driving solutions.

when i was test driving, only highway noa was available. the overall experience was relatively smooth. after driving for a whole day, it did not make any mistakes, so it can reduce a lot of driving pressure.

but there were two minor problems. the first was that we encountered a heavy rainstorm during the test drive, and noa could not be turned on at that time. it could only be used after the rain subsided.

then in the tunnel, when following a car in a straight line, the steering wheel will always make small corrections left and right. i think this range is larger than that of other brands.

in addition, lynk & co also launched two flyme ecosystem products, a mobile phone and an ar glasses.

the phones include the 4,700 yuan pro and the 2,900 yuan note. although their names are lynk & co phone, don’t they look the same as the meizu 21 pro and 21 from the back? . .

the glasses are sold for 2499, and they should have some linkage functions with the car computer. after we try it, we will tell you how to play it.

well, that’s all about my experience with z10.

in fact, there are many places where this car saves costs. for example, the steering wheel of the entire series has no electric adjustment, there is only one wireless charging port, and all are single-layer glass, but these are not big pain points.

one sentence evaluation,just talking about the car, this is a car that fits my imagination of lynk & co.

however, given that the gap between high and low configurations is indeed quite large, air springs and cdc are exclusive to the top configuration, while the second-top configuration doesn't even get a cdc.

moreover, the power of the single motor version is divided into high and low, the high power is 310kw, and the lowest power is 200kw. coincidentally, the single motor of the old zeekr 001 is also 200kw. at this point, it seems a bit lacking in sincerity.

if you are interested and have enough budget, i suggest you give priority to the top configuration.

objectively speaking, the configuration and pricing of this car are actually reasonable in the entire market. and it is obvious that lynk & co is cautious in its first pure electric car. in addition to trying to maintain its own driving control label, it also hopes to make this car as versatile as possible.

just compare it with the equally versatile su7 next door. whether it is pricing or configuration, it is almost competing with su7.

take the two versions of the car priced around 220,000 yuan for comparison. the two cars are almost the same in terms of wheelbase. the xiaomi's motor has higher power and consumes more electricity, while the lynk & co's battery is larger and has a longer range. as for other aspects such as seats, car computers, batteries, etc., you save some money here and i save some money there.

and the top-of-the-line models are very easy to drive.

in terms of cost performance alone, there is really not much difference between this car and its competitors. but the problem is that you came late, and there is a newly modified zeekr 007 in front of you.

in addition, lynk & co has previously been known for its large quantity and unlimited supply, so the current pricing will definitely not please the audience.

as for what many people have never understood, why does lynk & co want to launch pure electric vehicles when they already have zeekr? regarding this question, if you look at lynk & co's current sales, you will find that it is a general trend for it to launch pure electric vehicles.

in august this year, lynk & co sold a total of 22,500 vehicles, of which 16,700 were new energy vehicles, accounting for more than 74%. the two best-selling models, lynk & co 07 and 08, are both new energy vehicles.

just two years ago, the majority of cars were led by oil-burning models such as 03, 01 and 06.

even lynk & co has to face the fact that gasoline vehicles are becoming less popular.

therefore, it is only a matter of time before lynk & co plans to launch pure electric vehicles, and today, the first card of the z10 is to establish a flagship positioning. once this card is established, it will be easier to continue to increase investment later.

next, it depends on whether the market accepts this pure electric lynk & co.
