Lynk & Co 10 EM-P 2025 240 AWD Ultra Sport Vehicle Profile: Smart E-HEV Four-Wheel-Drive Mid-Size Sedan Review
1. Conclusion
Highlight 1: Standard eAWD + 5.1s 0-100 km/h The Lynk & Co 10 EM-P 240 AWD Ultra Sport pairs a 390 kW / 755 N·m hybrid system — front permanent-magnet synchronous + rear induction asynchronous motors working with a 1.5T hybrid-dedicated engine — to sprint 0-100 km/h in just 5.1 seconds. The eAWD intelligent all-wheel drive responds in 10 ms, delivering poise in city traffic and wet or snowy conditions alike.
Highlight 2: 240 km EV range + 1400 km combined range, fuel and electric backup A 38.2 kWh ShenDun Golden Brick hybrid battery delivers 240 km of CLTC electric-only range and a combined range of 1400 km. Fast charging from 10% to 60% SOC takes as little as 13 minutes, so a week of commuting needs no fuel; with a 4.2 L/100 km low-charge fuel consumption, it offers "AWD handling, two-wheel-drive fuel economy."
Highlight 3: Standard LiDAR + Thor 700 TOPS makes the smart-driving hardware complete Centimeter-level LiDAR (200 m sensing) and an NVIDIA Thor chip (700 TOPS) come standard, paired with the Qianli Haohan H7 driving-assist suite that supports 38 safety functions and gate-to-gate navigation.
Caveat 1: Rear motor output is modest (90 kW) The rear induction P4 motor delivers only 90 kW. While its response is crisp, sustained high-torque output at highway speeds or under aggressive driving is relatively limited.
Caveat 2: Heavy curb weight (2257 kg) At 5050 × 1966 × 1487 mm with a 3005 mm wheelbase, the curb weight reaches 2257 kg, which slightly affects energy consumption and agility.
Caveat 3: Smart-driving decisions can feel aggressive Owners and media note that in some complex urban scenarios the system makes relatively aggressive decisions with limited safety fallback, pending continued OTA refinement.
2. Model Overview
The Lynk & Co 10 EM-P is the brand's first mid-size plug-in hybrid sedan, launched in September 2025. As the flagship of Lynk & Co's Intelligent 2.0 era, it carries the "The Next Day" family design language with its Aurora daytime running lights, frameless doors and low, coupe-like stance for instant recognition. It comes standard with eAWD intelligent all-wheel drive and LiDAR; the Ultra trim adds an NVIDIA Thor chip. Positioning "performance, intelligence, luxury and safety" in one flagship, it targets executive and family buyers who value driving dynamics and technology.

4. Ownership Cost & Service (Fuel + Electric Mix)
As a plug-in hybrid, the running cost is a mix of "EV commuting + hybrid long-distance." Using Global Petrol Prices global averages of about US$$0.17/kWh for electricity and U$$1.27/L for fuel:
-
EV mode (city commuting): at roughly 17.9 kWh/100 km, that is about US$3.0/100 km, and the 240 km EV range covers a week of daily commuting without fuel.
-
Hybrid mode (long-distance / low charge): 4.2 L/100 km, about US$5.3/100 km.
-
Maintenance: total estimated cost over 60,000 km is about 1814.0 yuan (~US$253), more favorable than a pure gasoline car.

-
EV range: the Seal 08 DM leads with 400 km (CLTC); the Lynk & Co 10 EM-P is mid-pack at 240 km.
-
Fast charging: the Seal 08 DM is fastest (5 min); the Lynk & Co 10 EM-P at 13 min is still strong.
-
Warranty: the Seal 08 DM and Han DM offer 6y/150,000 km; the Lynk & Co 10 EM-P offers 5y/100,000 km plus lifetime cover for the first owner.
6. Real-World Driving
Scenario 1: Mixed city/highway hybrid driving The eAWD system responds in 10 ms; the smart hybrid mode manages energy based on navigation and road conditions. With aluminum double-wishbone front and reinforced 5-link rear suspension plus hydraulic variable damping, the moose test is 83.2 km/h; highway lane changes and cornering feel planted, and the rear P4 motor engages instantly for light-footed overtaking.
Scenario 2: Pure-EV commuting EV mode drives near the full speed range quietly and smoothly; 240 km of range covers a week of commuting, and the 38.2 kWh Golden Brick battery fast-charges 10%-60% in about 13 minutes.
Scenario 3: Smart driving aids Thor 700 TOPS + Qianli Haohan H7 supports city/highway NOA, remote/point-and-tap/memory parking among 9 parking aids, and gate-to-gate navigation after OTA; in some complex scenes the decisions lean aggressive and need refinement.
Comfort and space At 5050 mm long with a 3005 mm wheelbase, front and rear space is generous; rear-seat thigh support is average, and mid point ground clearance is about 15 cm. The boot is 111 cm deep and 122 cm wide at its widest; a front open storage shelf, 5.7 L cold/warm fridge and a mobile cockpit tablet enrich practicality.
7. Real Owner Feedback
Positive
-
Handling and chassis: most owners praise the chassis quality and AWD stability, "the chassis feels solid and cornering is confident, unlike driving a 2.2-tonne sedan."
-
Powertrain response: the eAWD and P4 motor engage crisply; city overtaking is easy and 5.1 s sprint feels effortless.
-
Efficiency and charging: EV commuting is cheap, 13-minute fast charging is convenient, and 1400 km combined range makes long trips worry-free.
-
Tech: LiDAR + Thor chip + Flyme Auto infotainment feel fluid; the config-to-price ratio is strong.
Negative
-
Rear motor power: some users note limited rear-axle reserve for sustained highway torque.
-
Firm ride: fine bumps pass some vibration through; comfort-focused buyers should test first.
-
Heavy curb weight: 2257 kg slightly impacts efficiency and agility.
-
Smart-driving aggressiveness: some complex scenarios feel aggressive with limited fallback, awaiting OTA.
