New Lynk & Co 01 Plug-In Hybrid: More Power, Less Fuel, Smarter Tech

Lynk & Co has introduced an enhanced version of its popular plug-in hybrid SUV, the 01, featuring a refined exterior and interior, new trim levels, expanded color options, and cutting-edge technological upgrades. The latest iteration of the 01 represents a significant step forward in hybrid innovation, blending power, efficiency, and sustainability.

The updated 01 is the result of extensive customer feedback, leading to subtle yet impactful design improvements and a broader color palette. The SUV now boasts a sleeker aesthetic with a gloss black grille, redesigned LED rear lights, and new alloy wheel designs. Buyers can also choose from fresh paint options, including Crystal White, Sparkling Black, and Mineral Green, further enhancing its premium appeal.

Under the bonnet, the new 01 introduces a completely reimagined plug-in hybrid system, delivering 276 hp and 535 Nm of torque for sharper acceleration and more responsive handling. Despite the increased power, efficiency remains a priority, with fuel consumption reduced to just 0.9 L/100 km and CO₂ emissions as low as 20 g/km (WLTP). The electric-only range extends up to 75 km, making it ideal for emission-free daily commutes.

Inside, the 01 offers a state-of-the-art infotainment system powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon® 8155 processor, one of the most advanced automotive chips available. Drivers benefit from a high-resolution digital cockpit, a 15.4-inch HD touchscreen, and streamlined steering wheel controls, ensuring intuitive access to all functions while keeping focus on the road.

“The 01 has always been a vehicle that people love to drive. This launch represents a key milestone in our strategic expansion across Europe. With the latest updates, and the introduction of the different specifications and colours, its appeal will reach an even broader range of consumers. As a progressive and vibrant brand, we’re proud to build flexibility into our offerings and to continue to push boundaries within sustainable mobility,” said Nicolas López Appelgren, CEO of Lynk & Co.

For those seeking a dynamic yet sustainable driving experience, the new 01 Plug-In Hybrid presents a compelling choice—bridging the gap between today’s technology and tomorrow’s electrified future.

2026 Lynk & Co 08 Hybrid SUV

Almost two years ago, Chinese-Swedish automaker Lynk & Co launched a mid-size crossover SUV, the Lynk & Co 08, which was only offered in the Chinese market. Now, it’s coming to Europe and will cost around 52,995 euros.

The Lynk & Co 08’s design is reminiscent of most other Chinese SUVs. It’s equipped with a black front grille, black door mirror housings, a black roof, sharp black details on the front doors, while the handles are hidden in the doors. There are also LED daytime running lights that look like claws. It’s mounted on a set of wheels with aerodynamic covers that should improve efficiency.

Inside, the SUV offers a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a massive 15.4-inch central infotainment screen, as well as a 92-inch head-up display.

What we do know about the European version of the Lynk & Co 08 is that it is based on the CMS Evo platform, while many key specifications are still under wraps. When it comes to powertrain, it is expected to share the same engine as the model offered in China, a 1.5-L 4-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine combined with an electric motor. It should also have a 39.6 kWh battery that allows an electric range of 245 kilometers, or over 1,200 kilometers of combined range.
