On December 26, 2025, Lynk & Co made headlines at the prestigious Car Awards 2025, sweeping the coveted “Electro‑Technology of the Year” prize for its groundbreaking EM‑P Super Hybrid platform.
Why the Award Matters
The Car Awards is the only automotive event that honors pure‑technology breakthroughs. A panel of nearly 20 industry experts evaluated each entrant, and Lynk & Co’s EM‑P Super Hybrid emerged as the clear leader in the competitive D‑size SUV segment.
What Makes the EM‑P Super Hybrid Different?
Dubbed a “technology revolution” for plug‑in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), the system blends a twin‑electric motor setup, a turbocharged gasoline engine, and a three‑stage hybrid gearbox (3DHT Evo). The result is a seamless balance of power and efficiency.
Performance Highlights
- Maximum output: 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 figures place the Lynk & Co 08 EM‑P near the top of its class for both speed and endurance.
Record‑Breaking Long‑Distance Run
In a Guinness World Record attempt, the SUV covered 1,813 km on a single tank of fuel and a full battery charge. The same model later set a new PHEV‑SUV benchmark in Mexico, achieving a pure‑electric distance of 293 km on one charge.
Charging & Energy Architecture
The vehicle houses a flat‑pack NCM battery with a 39.6 kWh capacity alongside a 60 L fuel tank, forming a “200 kWh energy fortress.” Thanks to an 85 kW DC fast‑charging system, the battery can jump from 30 % to 80 % in just 28 minutes.
Smart Power Features
Beyond conventional charging, the Lynk & Co 08 offers a 3.3 kW Vehicle‑to‑Load (V2L) function that turns the car into a mobile power outlet for household appliances. It can also use its gasoline engine to recharge the battery on the go, acting as a self‑contained “mobile charging station.”
Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety is bolstered by a robust sensor suite: five mm‑wave radars, ten cameras, and twelve ultrasonic sensors. With 116 TOPS processing power, the ADAS system delivers 25 intelligent features, including automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane‑keeping assist, driver monitoring (DMS), and child‑occupant detection (OMC). These technologies helped the SUV earn a 5‑star Euro NCAP rating.
Premium Interior & Audio Experience
Inside, the cabin is powered by dual Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chips for instant response. Highlights include a 15.4‑inch UHD 2.5K centerpiece display, a 23‑speaker Harman Kardon sound system delivering 1,600 W, and a suite of connectivity options that secured the “Car Audio System of the Year” award at the Editors’ Choice Awards.
Market Impact & Future Plans
According to Lynk & Co’s spokesperson, the Car Awards victory confirms the brand’s technical prowess and its commitment to delivering premium, high‑quality vehicles for Vietnamese customers. The company will roll out the EM‑P Super Hybrid across its next‑generation lineup, including the upcoming Lynk & Co 900 luxury SUV.
With a network of 33 showrooms and 70 service centers operated by Greenlynk Automotives and Tasco Auto, Lynk & Co is poised for long‑term growth in the region’s fast‑evolving automotive market.
Conclusion
The EM‑P Super Hybrid’s win in the “Electro‑Technology of the Year” category does more than recognize a single model—it solidifies Lynk & Co’s position at the forefront of the global electrification wave.
