On December 26, 2025, Lynk & Co made headlines at the Car Awards ceremony by receiving the coveted Electro‑Tech Award of the Year for its EM‑P Super Hybrid platform. The honor spotlights a single breakthrough technology that reshapes how modern SUVs are powered and driven.
Why the Award Matters
The Electro‑Tech Award is the only accolade at the Car Awards dedicated solely to automotive technology. Judged by a panel of nearly 20 industry experts, the prize celebrates innovations that change the way vehicles operate in today’s electrified era. Lynk & Co’s EM‑P platform emerged as the clear winner in the competitive D‑size SUV segment, a class that saw the highest number of new launches in 2025.
EM‑P Super Hybrid: A Technological Leap
The EM‑P Super Hybrid system combines a dual‑motor electric setup, a turbocharged gasoline engine, and a three‑stage hybrid transmission (3DHT Evo). This trio delivers seamless power delivery, impressive fuel efficiency, and a dynamic driving experience that feels both sporty and refined.
Performance Figures that Impress
- Maximum power: 345 hp
- Peak torque: 580 Nm
- 0‑100 km/h (0‑62 mph) in 6.75 seconds
- Pure‑electric range: up to 200 km (WLTC)
- Total combined range (fuel + electric): 1,400 km
These numbers place the EM‑P‑equipped Lynk & Co 08 among the most capable plug‑in hybrid SUVs on the market today.
Record‑Setting Efficiency
In a Guinness World Record run, the 08 covered 1,813 km on a single charge‑and‑fuel fill, underscoring the platform’s endurance. In Mexico, the model also set a new benchmark for the longest pure‑electric distance recorded by a PHEV SUV, reaching 293 km on a single charge.
Fast, Flexible Charging Solutions
The vehicle houses a flat‑pack NCM battery with a usable capacity of 39.6 kWh and a 60‑liter fuel tank, creating a combined “200 kWh energy fortress.” DC fast‑charging at 85 kW boosts the battery from 30 % to 80 % in just 28 minutes. Additionally, the system features a 3.3 kW V2L (Vehicle‑to‑Load) function, turning the SUV into a mobile power source for household appliances.
Charging on the Go
Thanks to an integrated gasoline‑engine generator, the 08 can recharge its battery autonomously, acting like a mobile charging station and eliminating dependence on public charging infrastructure.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is a core pillar of the EM‑P platform. The SUV is equipped with a comprehensive sensor suite, including five millimeter‑wave radars, ten cameras, and twelve ultrasonic sensors. Its onboard computer delivers 116 TOPS of processing power, enabling a 25‑feature ADAS suite that covers:
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Lane‑Keeping Assist
- Driver Monitoring System (DMS)
- Occupant‑Monitoring for unattended children (OMC)
These technologies helped the model achieve a 5‑star safety rating from Euro NCAP.
Premium Interior and Infotainment
Inside, the cabin reflects the same high‑tech ethos. Two Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips power an ultra‑responsive infotainment system, featuring a 15.4‑inch UHD 2.5K central display and a 23‑speaker Harman Kardon sound system delivering 1,600 W of audio power. The audio experience earned the vehicle the “Car Audio System of the Year” award at the Editors’ Choice Awards.
Market Impact and Future Plans
According to Lynk & Co representatives, the Car Awards victory validates the brand’s commitment to delivering premium, technology‑driven vehicles for Vietnamese customers. The company will extend the EM‑P Super Hybrid platform to upcoming models, including the high‑end Lynk & Co 900 SUV. With a network of 33 showrooms and 70 service workshops, partners Greenlynk Automotives and Tasco Auto are poised for long‑term investment in Vietnam’s automotive future.
Global Significance
The win not only celebrates a single model but also positions Lynk & Co as a leading player in the worldwide electrification wave. As the automotive industry races toward greener mobility, the EM‑P Super Hybrid sets a benchmark for performance, range, and intelligent energy management.
