Lynk & Co 08: Are You Sure You Need An EV?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The EV revolution is imminent, but the Lynk & Co 08 makes a compelling argument for why we should be adopting PHEVs in the meantime.

Gotta give props to Geely, they do make really good cars and as you mentioned, their fit and finish are fantastic. I drive a Geely sedan, I placed my bet on a Chinese car, fairly new in our market and so far, really impressed.

Same here, so I have been driving a Geely Azkarra for about two years and quite impressed so far. Just not a fan of the software for the entertainment system but overall great car,

Hey William, I can't get over the wing mirror placement, "excuse me, sir, you appear to have two streetlamps adhered to the sides of your car". 🤣🤣
Lynk & Co will expand to all the Balkan countries this year with the 01, but to be fair, I think L&C should add more products to the European lineup.
This car feels like it needs a little bit more time in the oven, hopefully they address a lot of things that you mentioned in the future. I have to say that side mirror integration is quite unique and while it doesn't really fit well with this vehicle, it could be iterated on. I could see it being a signature styling cue used in all their vehicles one way or another.
Having the door button in the middle of a speaker grill will be great for finger grease building up over time in all the perforations.
I hope this brand does not kill itself by lack of parts and service centers availability. I mean globally of course. This brand has got a lot of potential. I'm thinking of buying a 03+ to be honest.
Your new presenter is killing it, tbh. More reviews to come from both of you.👏👏👏

The purpose of having the button for the glove box in the display is to make it so that you need the key to open the glove box, it's a security feature. Modern cars no longer have traditional glove box keys because they no longer have traditional keys.

01 PHEV as well as EV shared the same platform with the other Geely car, the Volvo 40. Is the 08 a China-only version?
Man, I am here in China too (Jinzhou), love your vids btw. I am having a damn hard time finding a Chinese car with a fully English infotainment/voice assistant. Any suggestions?

Sounds like someone in Geely misspelled “Lincoln”.
as long the range, value, and design fits on all needs. its a BUY. no matter its EV or not but as of right now.. i only find this sweetspot in EV

This could be the next Zeekr 008..same company..😅😅😅
Nice everywhere except the hideous side mirrors. Is it legal in China to replace the side mirrors with cameras?
@Wheelsboy
Ай бұрын
Yes, camera-based side-view mirrors are legal and available on cars like the Avatr 12. However, they're not very user friendly, and I've been directly told by Avatr sales people that they guide customers away from buying them for that reason.
The back of this 08 looks way better than the Zeekr X
06:30 - very nice that Lynk & Co pushes social interaction and gives people something they're craving: to complain about things.
I am a Chinese and work at the Daimler factory in Stuttgart, Germany. I hope Chinese cars can be accepted by the world.
A very strange mirror design

The US dealership model takes any reasonable car and hikes the price beyond reach. I hate it here
It looks like a bigger Zeekr X copy
@Wheelsboy
Ай бұрын
They're made by the same company (Geely) and basically share a design language, so it's not accurate to call it a copy. If you want to complain about Geely's inability to properly separate their many brands from each other in terms of styling, then I'm more than willing to agree, but that's a different conversation.

@InsideChinaAuto
Ай бұрын
That's not quite true, either. The truth is the X was designed to be a Lynk&Co all along (because these things are designed often 3 years ahead of launch) but then Geely decided they needed a whole new brand for fully electric and so they flipped the badges. It's the same reason the 001 has the original Lynk&Co design language, because it was designed before the new direction and they decided to form a Zeekr on the back of it. The 007 is the first Zeekr designed with the brand's own design language.
