The first Lynk & Co brand model under the SPA framework . Lynk & Co 09 mainly launched six-seater and seven-seater models in the early stage. It also has different power options for fuel version and plug-in hybrid, but the audience is higher. The car model has yet to arrive. For a considerable number of people, the decent feeling of the second-row space of the big five-seater model cannot be replaced by the six or seven-seater models. Lynk & Co also hurriedly brought the big five-seater model we tested today: Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games Edition. As of press time, Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games Edition has not yet announced the price.
Static review: the overall design has changed little, and the comfort of the rear row has been significantly improved
Before talking about the dynamic performance, let's review the exterior and interior design of this car.First of all, the overall design of the Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games Edition still continues the design of the previous Lynk & Co 09 Performance Edition, and the body size has not changed. It is still 5042/1977/1780mm, and the wheelbase is 2984mm, which is above the middle level among medium and large SUVs. level.With a length of more than 5m and a width of nearly 2m, it is a big car, and the appearance of the whole car is also very large.
If it shows dark blue under strong sunlight, it will show a dark purple tone under the shadow. This car paint and the twilight purple of the previous Lynk & Co 09EM-P Voyage Edition have a quite advanced visual perception.
In terms of exterior design, the front face of Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games Edition is still the family style of Lynk & Co. The front grille of the urban coastline is very imposing, and the LED matrix headlights on both sides are equipped with adaptive far and low beams, automatic opening and closing, and automatic turn signals. Function.
The side profile of the vehicle is also a typical Lynk & Co style. Although it is the flagship SUV of the brand, the Lynk & Co 09 family still maintains Lynk & Co’s stylish and sporty design genes. The slightly depressed roof line and the sharp D-pillar design are With some sense of movement.The more obvious decoration on the side of the vehicle is the similar shark fin trim behind the front fenders, which is well recognizable.
In terms of rims, the Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games Edition uses 20-inch multi-spoke wheels, and the tires are 275/45 R20 Continental UC6. This is a tire with balanced performance. It can be said that both handling and quietness can be considered. The flat ratio is also a balance between comfort and handling.
In addition, the model we shot is equipped with air suspension. This configuration was optional on some models on the EM-P performance version in the past. This time, the Asian Games version also needs to be equipped with the Asian Games upgrade package. The suspension supplier is Vibark, which is a relatively high-end suspension supplier.
This adaptive air suspension can be adaptively adjusted in different modes, and can achieve an adjustment range of 90mm up and down. At the same time, it integrates a CCD continuous damping adjustable vibration reduction system with a 500Hz adjustment frequency.
The first impression of the rear of the car is that it is wide. In addition to the width of the car body being close to 2m, the horizontally extended taillights also make the visual effect wider. The appearance is very brilliant, especially now that medium and large SUVs in the Chinese market are particularly fond of through-type taillights, the tail of the Lynk & Co 09 seems to be a clear stream.
Most of the interior parts continue the design of the EM-P voyage version. Let's take a look at the front row first.The family-style steering wheel, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, 12-inch central control screen, 7-inch air-conditioning control screen, HUD head-up display, laser-etched trim, and electronic gear handle are all familiar tastes.
The interior of the Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games Edition is still relatively traditional, but due to the more solid materials used, the vehicle has a sense of luxury.The model we shot uses a brown interior color, which looks more homely and stable. I don’t know if the white interior of the previous EM-P Voyage Edition can be selected on the Asian Games Edition.
Here I personally think that there will be two places that can be upgraded. One is that the current 12-inch central control screen is a bit small for the Lynk & Co 0S N Consonance system. The new system has more and denser content. Currently smaller screens make its icons and font sizes less legible.
In addition, Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games Edition has the same power system and battery as the previous performance version, and the battery also adopts a central layout, so there is no hollow storage compartment under the front gear handle, which will indeed affect the practicality to a certain extent. sex.
Let's focus on the back row.Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games is a five-seater model. The most obvious change is the increase in the legroom of the second row. Official data shows that the legroom of Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games has increased by 100mm compared to the previous seven-seater model. , this data is very considerable.
This is a change in the size of the seat. In fact, the padding inside the seat has also been redesigned. The sponge with a higher rebound coefficient makes the seat more wrapped. In addition, the two-stage adjustment of the rear backrest , overall comfort will be better.
There are also some small details that need to be mentioned here. On the previous Lynk & Co 09 models, the backrests of the front seats and the coverings of the rear door panels were all black engineering plastics. And tactile feeling, these two places are made of soft slush plastic material of the same color as the seat.
Another more important advantage of the large five-seater model is the larger trunk capacity.Let me talk about the comparison of the trunk capacity between the seven-seater model and the five-seater model: the seven-seater model is 269-862L, the former is when the three rows are upright; while the Asian Games version has a regular capacity of 691L, which can be achieved after the second row of seats is folded down. The capacity of 1522L.
We actually measured that with the rear seats upright, itis no problem to put down three 22-inch suitcases/two 20-inch suitcases and a set ofgolf
Dynamic driving: excellent driving texture
In addition to the upcoming Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games Edition, there are currently two versions of Lynk & Co 09 on sale: Lynk & Co 09 Performance Edition ( formerly Lynk & Co 09 PHEV version ) As well as the Lynk & Co 09 EM-P Yuanhang version, the differences between these two models on sale mainly focus on the power system and battery capacity. Although both use the Drive-E 2.0T T5 engine, the Yuanhang version is equipped with two front and rear drive motors It has three motors and is equipped with a large battery of 40.1kWh, while the performance version has only a rear single motor and a battery pack with a capacity of 18.83kWh.
Today, the Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games version we tested is the same as the performance version in terms of power system, that is, it is equipped with a Drive-E 2.0T T5 engine with a maximum power of 187kW and a rear-mounted P4 motor. The power of the motor is 130kW, the comprehensive system power reaches 317kW, the peak torque is 659N m, and the acceleration time from 100 kilometers is 5.6s.
In terms of battery, the Asian Games version is the same as the performance version, with a battery capacity of 18.83kWh and a pure electric range of 80km (NEDC working condition).The gearbox is an 8-speed automatic manual gearbox.
In terms of power experience, although the five-seater model is theoretically lighter in weight, the actual experience does not feel the power difference with the performance version. After all, these two cars belong to the 5s-class vehicles, with a peak torque of 659N m .
With such a powerful power blessing, the accelerator pedal of Lynk & Co 09 is still set to be light, so that the vehicle can show a very light acceleration feeling in various driving modes.The feel of the brake pedal is also good. It balances the distribution of braking force between kinetic energy recovery and mechanical brakes, and the linearity is very good.
The steering feel of the steering wheel is also set to be light. After the driving mode is adjusted to sports, it will be slightly aggravated. The small empty position in the center can reduce the driving fatigue of the vehicle in the cruising state. Due to the huge body size, the rear end followability is slightly poor.
In terms of chassis performance, since our test drive is a version with air suspension, it is for reference only.The addition of the air suspension is to provide passability on the one hand, and on the other hand, I think it is to increase the lower limit of the vehicle chassis. This set of air suspension adjustment is adaptive.
However, our main test driving road conditions are still suburban roads, and the speed is not fast, so the chassis of the Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games is still based on comfort. Although it does not have a very soft suspension like most SUVs that are more for home use Tuning, there will be certain reservations about the transmission of road feeling.
The specific performance is that when passing through non-paved gravel roads and cement roads with a large number of road joints, the suspension can filter out some of the fine bumps, making the vibrations transmitted to the car softer. When there are large bumps such as bumps, potholes, etc., the suspension can resolve them into more resilient impacts, and there will be no additional aftershocks after passing through which can be resolved at one time.
It needs to be mentioned here that the Lynk & Co 09 is also a four-wheel drive model, but it uses an electric four-wheel drive structure driven by a front-wheel engine and a rear-wheel motor.
Summary of the full text:The launch of the Lynk & Co 09 Asian Games Edition has greatly expanded the coverage of Lynk & Co 09. After all, for most families, the budget of 300,000 yuan is more willing to choose the mainstream large five-seat SUV, let alone Lynk & Co The space and comfort of the rear row of the 2009 Asian Games version have been significantly improved, and the driving quality also retains the advantages of Lynk & Co.Many people will think that this big five-seater SUV came a bit late, but it's better than never, isn't it?
