Bitauto Original As the first mass-produced model of the Lynk & Co brand, I believe everyone is familiar with the Lynk & Co 01. Not long ago, the hybrid version of the Lynk & Co 01 EM-F was also officially launched. It is also the first Lynk & Co petrol-electric hybrid model equipped with Lynk & Co’s intelligent electric hybrid Lynk E-Motive technology.

So what is the performance of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F? What kind of personality does it have when driving? In order to answer the above questions, I drove the Lynk & Co 01 EM-F on the track for some performance testing.

The Lynk E-Motive intelligent electric hybrid technology equipped on the Lynk & Co 01 EM-F is based on Geely's Hi·X hybrid technology. The two are only slightly different in terms of adjustment.

The hybrid system of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F adopts a P1+P2 dual motor series-parallel structure, which is composed of a 1.5TD hybrid dedicated engine + a 3-speed hybrid dedicated electric drive transmission + an intelligent control system + a high-efficiency battery.

The complete hybrid system has a comprehensive power of 180kW and a comprehensive torque of 545N·m. The official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 7.8 seconds, and the official fuel consumption under WLTC conditions is 4.88L/100km.

The DHE15 1.5TD three-cylinder hybrid engine uses Miller cycle technology, with a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 225N·m. And the engine thermal efficiency reaches 43.32%, which is undoubtedly quite outstanding for a turbine engine.

The P1 motor has a peak power of 60kW and a peak torque of 180N·m; its function is mainly responsible for generating electricity, starting/stopping the engine, and adjusting the engine operating conditions to maintain a high-efficiency range.

The P2 motor has a peak power of 100kW and a peak torque of 320N·m; it is mainly responsible for driving and can achieve strong power output at low speeds, saving fuel consumption in the initial stage of the vehicle.

This 3-speed DHT Pro has a maximum mechanical efficiency of 97.5%, and also has a catapult start function; it can also actively downshift to increase speed when accelerating in high-speed scenes (80-120km). The hybrid battery pack has a capacity of 1.82kWh and can output a peak power of 65kW.

It should be noted that the Lynk & Co 01 EM-F tested this time is an engineering vehicle, not a production vehicle version. The test location is the Guangdong Racing International Circuit. The test road surface is an asphalt road with good adhesion. The test weather is sunny and the temperature is 34°C.

In addition, the body stability system of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F can be set to ESC SPORT mode. At this time, the intervention of ESC will be delayed, but it cannot be completely turned off.

First comeLet’s talk about the acceleration performance. Under ESC SPORT conditions, the driving mode is adjusted to sport, and the engine speed can be controlled to close to 2000 rpm when the accelerator is pressed to the bottom. In the end, the best 0-100km/h acceleration result of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F was 8.4 seconds. .

As can be seen from the acceleration curve, the power output of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F is very linear. Thanks to the assistance of the P2 drive motor, its power response at the start is quite fast. It accelerates from standstill to 60km/h in just 3.78 seconds.

However, in terms of acceleration in the later stages, the power performance of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F appears to be slightly weaker. It takes 4.62 seconds to accelerate from 60km/h to 100km/h.

The flexibility of this HEV is that the power and torque set by the motor are relatively large, and the burst duration is longer than Toyota's THS. Although it is only equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, with the cooperation of the large motor, The measured acceleration performance is better than that of Toyota Wilanda Twin Engine.

It should also be mentioned that the tires of the Lynk & Co 01 EM-F will slip and squeak for about 2 seconds when starting. In addition to the abundant torque of the vehicle, on the other hand, the grip of this set of Continental tires is also poor. It's not very good, and the tire's grip limit comes relatively early when cornering on the track, but the vehicle is still very controllable after the tire sounds.

Compared with the official Lynk & Co 01 EM-F's 7.8-second 0-100 mph time, our measured 8.4-second 0-100 mph time was 0.6 seconds behind. In view of the fact that our test was still a trial assembly, and the test site had high temperature and humidity, etc. Due to the influence of comprehensive factors, such a gap is within the normal range.

In the braking part, the braking force output of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F is relatively linear, with the maximum braking force reaching -1g. At the same time, the vehicle still maintains good stability when braking at full speed in ESC SPORT mode.

However, the Lynk & Co 01 EM-F will have an obvious nodding phenomenon during sudden braking, and there is still room for improvement in suspension support.

In the end, Lynk & Co 01 EM-F achieved the best braking speed of 38 meters from 100km/h-0, which is not bad for a compact SUV weighing more than 1.8 tons (including the driver).

In daily driving, the steering setting of the Lynk & Co 01 EM-F is light, even in SPORT mode. It is not difficult to drive, but such a steering setting will lack some sense of communication between people and the car.

The chassis adjustment of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F is geared toward comfort. It can better filter out fine vibrations on the road and quickly resolve them when passing through speed bumps and large potholes, making the driving feel more comfortable.

But Lynk & Co 01 EM-F will show obvious nodding when braking hard, and the body will also roll to a certain extent when cornering quickly. There is still room for improvement in the support of the suspension. I hope it can be improved in the final production version.

The NVH performance of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F is good. Even at full throttle, the engine noise is not obvious, and there is no roar like Japanese hybrid engines. The overall driving quality is better. Performance.

Written at the end: As the first hybrid model of the Lynk & Co brand, the overall performance of the Lynk & Co 01 EM-F is relatively balanced. It is comfortable and light to drive, and the NVH performance is also good. And its performance test results are also pretty good, with 8.4 seconds of 0-100km/h reaching the current mainstream level.

Of course, it would be better if the steering settings and suspension adjustments could be tighter and the driving feel more communicative.

Currently, pre-sale of the new car has started, with the pre-sale price ranging from 188,000 to 210,000 yuan. What do you think is the appropriate price to sell it for after it is officially listed? Welcome to leave a message.

For hybrid models, what everyone is most concerned about is its fuel consumption? In the future, we will also test the real fuel consumption of Lynk & Co 01 EM-F for everyone. Interested friends can also follow my Yiche ID: Xian Yezhan, or search and follow [Let’s Drive Brothers] on Station B.
