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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
