Lynk & Co 10 and 10+ debut with record performance and fast charging

Lynk & Co, one of Geely's many brands, officially revealed its new electric cars on April 7, 2026. The new models are called the Lynk & Co 10 and the Lynk & Co 10+. They are large, battery-powered sporty sedans, and before the official debut were known as Z10 and Z10+, but the company decided to change the names for the final release.

The Lynk & Co 10+ is the high-performance version of the pair. It is the first vehicle from the brand to wear the "+" badge, which apparently means it is built for speed. To show what it can do, the company took it to the Asian Ridge Track. The car finished a lap in 1 minute and 40.14 seconds, beating the Porsche Taycan GTS in the process, and making it the fastest car on that track.

The new Lynk & Co EVs are quite big - each model is 198.8 inches long and 77.4 inches wide. They stand 57.8 inches tall and have a very long wheelbase of 118.3 inches. Because the wheels are so far apart, there is plenty of room for passengers and a large battery under the floor. The design follows a style the company calls "The Next Day," which gives the cars a sharp and modern look.

The Lynk & Co 10+ gets a rear wing made of carbon fiber that can adjust to help the car grip the road. It also gets large 21-inch wheels and Brembo performance brakes. Buyers can choose a new exterior color called "Racing Shadow Blue" and a bright "Shadow Red" interior. It is definitely a car meant to stand out in a parking lot or even on a racetrack.

Under the skin, the Lynk & Co 10+ uses two electric motors to drive all four wheels. Together, these motors deliver 680 kW or 912 horsepower. This allows the car to go from zero to 62 mph in only 3.2 seconds. If you are already driving on the highway, it can jump from 50 mph to 75 mph in 2.1 seconds, making passing slow traffic very easy.

The engineers also worked hard to make the motors efficient. They used a lot of aero-grade magnesium alloy, making the drive system very light at 165 lb. The system is 93.7% efficient - it uses almost all its battery energy to move the car rather than wasting it as heat. A smart computer can also switch the all-wheel-drive system on or off in just 10 milliseconds to keep the traction or to save energy.

Charging was usually the part people dislike about EVs, but things are changing quick and Lynk & Co has its own solution. The standard Lynk & Co 10 uses a "Golden Brick" battery. With its 800V technology, the 77 kWh battery can charge from 10% to 80% in about 10.5 minutes.

For even more range, there is a 900V version with a 95 kWh battery. This model can travel up to 507 miles on a full charge. When using a V4 ultra-fast charger, it can add 1.2 miles of driving distance every single second. It can charge from 10% to 97% in 8 minutes and 42 seconds - that's faster than the newest charging speeds announced by BYD. Waiting for a battery to fill up is becoming a thing of the past.

The Lynk & Co 10 will cost between RMB 200,000 and RMB 230,000. At current exchange rates, that is roughly $29,000 to $33,000, making the new Lynk & Co sedans direct competitors to the Xiaomi SU7. With the record-breaking track times and incredibly fast charging, those two new EVs are ready to give both tech companies and traditional car makers a run for their money.
