The Lynk & Co 01 PHEV is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that has both the traditional gasoline engine and an electric motor, allowing it to operate on electric power alone for short distances, up to 69 km. The type of vehicle is ideal for reducing fuel consumption and emissions, as it can cover many daily driving needs using only electric power, and switch to gasoline for longer trips or when more power is needed. The car is equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, complemented by an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery, which supports both environmental sustainability and the need for occasional faster driving speeds. The hybrid system automatically switches between power sources based on driving conditions and battery charge level.
Launch
The Lynk & Co 01 PHEV was introduced to the Philippine market at the 2024 Manila International Auto Show, which featured the car's advanced features and hybrid technology. During the event, the car's capabilities, such as its hybrid powertrain setup and flexibility in power usage, were showcased.
Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
The platform of the Lynk & Co 01 PHEV is propelled by a hybrid powertrain, integrating the gasoline engine with an electric motor and a high-capacity battery. The arrangement is particularly assembled to optimize space and maintain the vehicle's balance and handling. The chassis is made to support the additional weight of the battery while making sure passengers enjoy a comfortable ride and responsive handling. The powertrain's design focuses on efficiency and performance, providing a total output of 258 horsepower and 265 Nm of torque, allowing for quick acceleration. The car's ability to switch between driving modes — electric-only, hybrid, and power mode — offers drivers the flexibility to choose the most efficient mode of travel based on their current needs.
