Lynk & Co 10 Arrives as the Brand's First Full-Size Electric Sedan
The Lynk & Co 10 marks the brand's entry into the all-electric sedan category, scheduled for Q2 2026. Originally previewed as the Z10 concept, the production version carries a new name but retains the ambition. At 5,050mm long with a 3,005mm wheelbase, this is a large car by any standard, sized to compete directly with the NIO ET7, Xpeng P7+, and even the Tesla Model S in key dimensions.
Two Powertrains, One Architecture
Lynk & Co will offer the 10 in single-motor and dual-motor configurations, both built on a 900-volt electrical architecture. The single-motor variants produce either 300 kW or 370 kW, providing rear-wheel drive with a power range that covers both efficiency-focused and performance-oriented buyers.
The dual-motor version combines 310 kW and 370 kW units for a combined output of 925 horsepower. That figure places the Lynk & Co 10 among the most powerful production sedans available in China, electric or otherwise. The 900V platform enables 10-60% charging in 13 minutes, a specification that addresses one of the primary objections to large EV sedans: time spent at charging stations during long trips.
Sensors and Silicon
The 10 carries a LiDAR sensor and runs its autonomous driving computations on Nvidia's Thor chip, rated at 700 TOPS (trillion operations per second). For context, Nvidia's previous Orin chip delivered 254 TOPS, so the Thor represents a generational leap in raw processing capability. Lynk & Co claims both highway and urban autopilot functionality, suggesting the system handles lane changes, on-ramp merging, intersection navigation, and traffic signal recognition.
Whether these capabilities launch fully enabled at delivery or roll out gradually through over-the-air updates remains unclear. Chinese regulators have been cautious about approving urban autonomous driving features, and the competitive landscape includes Huawei-powered systems in Avatr and Seres vehicles that have already accumulated significant real-world urban driving data.
Flyme Auto 2.0 Interior 🖥
The cabin runs Flyme Auto 2.0, Geely's connected vehicle operating system, powered by a Qualcomm 8295 chip. The 8295 has become the benchmark processor for in-car infotainment in China's premium segment, handling multiple displays, voice recognition, and app ecosystems simultaneously. Flyme Auto integrates with the broader Meizu ecosystem, a connection made possible after Geely acquired the smartphone maker in 2022.
This cross-device integration allows phone apps, settings, and preferences to synchronize with the vehicle's infotainment system. The practical benefit is reduced friction when switching between phone and car. Navigation destinations, music playlists, and communication threads carry over without manual re-entry.
Positioning Within Geely's Empire
Lynk & Co occupies a specific tier within Geely's multi-brand strategy. It sits above the Geely brand and below the Zeekr premium line. The 10 must therefore offer more than a Geely Galaxy sedan without overlapping with Zeekr's 007 sedan, which shares the same 900V architecture and targets a similar buyer profile.
The differentiator appears to be personality rather than pure specification. Lynk & Co has cultivated a younger, design-conscious audience through its European subscription model and distinctive visual identity. The 10's proportions and design language lean into that identity, with a silhouette that prioritizes presence over aerodynamic minimalism.
What Matters at Launch
The Q2 2026 timeline puts the Lynk & Co 10 into a market that will have shifted considerably from when the Z10 concept first appeared. Pricing has not been announced, but the competitive set suggests a range between 250,000 and 350,000 yuan depending on trim. At those prices, the 925 hp dual-motor version would undercut several European performance sedans by a wide margin while matching or exceeding their output.
Success depends on execution. The 900V charging speed needs a supporting network of compatible stations. The Thor-based ADAS must deliver consistent real-world performance, not just benchmark numbers. The Lynk & Co 10 measures 5,050mm long, produces up to 925 combined horsepower, and charges from 10 to 60 percent in 13 minutes. Those specifications define the opportunity. Delivering on them consistently will determine whether the 10 becomes a flagship or a footnote.
