Lynk & Co 10 goes on sale in China with ultra-fast charging

Geely's premium brand, Lynk & Co, kicked off sales of its newest mid-to-large-sized electric sedans on May 29, 2026. Called the Lynk & Co 10 series, this fresh entry targets the very competitive premium EV segment. The manufacturer divided the lineup into two distinct vehicles: the standard "10" for everyday premium driving and the aggressive, high-performance "10+" for enthusiasts.

To mark the arrival of the new EVs, the automaker rolled out a limited-time promotional pricing - for the standard Lynk & Co 10 range, the base 701 Long Range Max starts at an official price of RMB 183,900 ($27,100), but drops to a promotional RMB 169,900 ($25,000). Upgrading to the 701 Long Range Ultra changes the official sticker price to RMB 189,900 ($28,000), which becomes RMB 175,900 ($25,900) under the promotion. The longest-range single-motor variant, the 816 Ultra Long Range, lists at RMB 205,900 ($30,300) officially but sells for RMB 191,900 ($28,200) during the launch window.

The dual-motor Lynk & Co 10+ models offer serious track-level performance. The AWD Sport variant has an official price tag of RMB 233,900 ($34,400), discounted to RMB 219,900 ($32,300) for early buyers. Finally, the top-shelf AWD Racing variant normally demands RMB 249,900 ($36,800), but the promotional campaign trims that figure down to RMB 235,900 ($34,700).

Visually, the new 10 and 10+ follow a unique styling language named "The Next Day." The front of the vehicle has a sporty bumper that borrows design cues directly from the brand's TCR touring race cars. A hidden, active air intake grille helps control airflow for optimal aerodynamics. Every vehicle in the family measures 198.8 inches in length, 77.4 inches in width, and 57.8 inches in height, riding on a generous 118.3 inches wheelbase. The performance-oriented 10+ takes styling a bit further by adding lightweight 21-inch forged wheels, high-performance Brembo brake discs with four-piston calipers, and sticky Michelin PS EV tires.

Moving inside the cabin reveals a premium layout built around a "Morning Light Rhythm" design concept. Drivers get a 12.7-inch digital instrument cluster and a massive 25.6-inch augmented reality head-up display that projects vital driving information onto the windshield. The center dashboard has a crisp 15.4-inch touchscreen powered by a high-end 8295 processor chip, running the updated Flyme Auto 2 operating system. Passengers can relax in four "Zero-Pressure" seats, with the front seats featuring integrated heating, ventilation, and deep tissue massage functions. Audiophiles will appreciate the heavy-hitting 23-speaker sound system pushing out a total of 1,600 watts of power.

The brand offers the rear-wheel-drive variants with two separate single-motor options. The entry-level motor puts out a peak power of 300 kW (402 horsepower) and hits 62 mph from a standstill in 5.9 seconds. The more powerful single-motor variant ups output to 370 kW (496 horsepower), which cuts the 0-62 mph sprint down to 5.2 seconds while delivering a maximum driving range of 507 miles on the China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle.

The highlight feature of the 900V high-power variant is its charging speed, which outpaces the highly publicized Flash Charging technology from BYD. Connecting to a compatible ultra-fast charger allows the battery to rocket from 10% to 80% capacity in 5.5 minutes. The lower-power version of the platform can complete the exact same 10% to 80% charging cycle in a respectable 10.5 minutes.

The dual-motor Lynk & Co 10+ has an all-wheel-drive powertrain that delivers 680 kW (912 horsepower) and 673 lb-ft of torque. This allows the heavy sedan to blast from 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds. Because of the extra electric motor and performance tuning, the maximum driving range drops to 333 miles per charge. To keep all this power under control, Geely fits the entire product family with a front double-wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension system, managed by a continuous variable damping setup.

Lynk & Co splits its advanced driver-assistance systems into two packages depending on the selected vehicle trim. The foundational option is the G-ASD G-Pilot Haohan H5 system. This setup uses an Nvidia Orin-Y processor chip capable of 200 TOPS, pairing with a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor to navigate highways, city streets, and complex parking garages via Navigation on Autopilot. The more expensive models upgrade to the G-ASD G-Pilot Haohan H7 suite. This setup uses a heavy-duty Nvidia Thor processor pumping out 700 TOPS. This system uses a specialized, onboard multi-modal large language model that helps the vehicle visually understand global road environments and predict potential hazards in real time.

Despite all the impressive technology onboard, the 10 and 10+ launch arrives during a difficult patch for the brand's overall sales momentum. Globally, Lynk & Co sold 12,533 new energy vehicles in April - that's a 17.6% drop compared to the same month last year, and a 4% decline compared to March of this year. Additionally, putting that record-breaking 5.5-minute charging speed to use might prove difficult for early adopters. BYD has built thousands of dedicated fast-charging stations across China this year already, but Geely's deployment of ultra-high-output charging stations lags behind, and very few public locations offer the extreme electrical output required to let the new sedan reach its full charging potential.
