What is the Lynk & Co 08?
The Lynk & Co 08 is a plug-in hybrid SUV. Its petrol engine and externally chargeable battery let it run on electric power for some journeys while retaining petrol power for others. It joined the European range in 2025, after being sold in China.
The European generation began in 2025 and continues today. The 08 brought long electric range and DC fast charging to Lynk & Co’s European plug-in hybrid line-up.
Engines and power
European versions pair a 1.5-litre petrol engine with plug-in hybrid power. The stated output range is 102 kW (139 PS) to 155 kW (211 PS). The EEA figures list two versions, one at each of those outputs.
A plug-in hybrid can use electric power, petrol power or both. How often it is charged and how much of a journey is driven electrically affect its fuel use, so the official weighted consumption figure needs that context.
How economical is the Lynk & Co 08?
The lowest stated plug-in hybrid consumption is 0.9 L/100 km on WLTP. This official weighted figure assumes some driving is electric, so actual fuel use depends on how the vehicle is driven and charged.
Official EEA registration figures cover 2025, with 1,654 registrations across two versions. Test results can differ between markets: Europe uses WLTP or, for some older figures, NEDC; the USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses the 5-cycle procedure.
Where was the Lynk & Co 08 sold?
The 08’s European generation began in 2025 and continues today. Lynk & Co has offered it through online channels, Clubs and retail partners.
