RANGE TEST! HOW FAR YOU CAN GO ON A CHARGE IN THE LYNK & CO 01

EV Channels Review

The Lynk & Co 01 plug-in hybrid undergoes a city range test, aiming to validate its claimed 69 km (approx. 40 miles) WLTP range. The reviewer finds the vehicle to be a solid offering, particularly for those who can leverage its plug-in capabilities. Key positives include a quiet and composed ride, good fit and finish with quality materials, and an impressive real-world city range of 78.6 km, exceeding the advertised figure and the general WLTP estimate, though falling slightly short of the city-specific WLTP claim. The reviewer also highlights the attractive subscription model as a significant value proposition. However, criticisms are noted, primarily concerning the brake pedal calibration, which is described as jittery and jerky, and some software quirks like the screen resetting and an unclear battery indicator. Despite these minor gripes, the reviewer concludes that the Lynk & Co 01 is a good bargain and a competent vehicle, especially for its price point, and recommends the plug-in hybrid variant for those with charging access.
