Power Wheels Magazine A Notch Above
Lynk & Co proudly announces that the all-new Lynk & Co 08 EM-P has been awarded a prestigious 5-star safety rating in the 2025 Euro NCAP safety tests. Demonstrating exceptional performance across all safety categories, the 08 EM-P achieved outstanding scores: 90% for Adult Occupant Protection, 87% for Child Occupant Protection, 78% for Vulnerable Road Users, and 81% for Safety Assist, thanks to its comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems.
This accolade underscores Lynk & Co’s unwavering commitment to delivering vehicles that prioritize safety, innovation, and environmental responsibility. The 08 EM-P exemplifies the brand’s dedication to exceeding industry standards, offering peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.
Safety Beyond Standards
Designed with an uncompromising focus on protection, the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P incorporates cutting-edge materials and engineering techniques typically found in aerospace and high-performance vehicles. Its front structure features aerospace-grade aluminum and a reinforced collision beam to effectively absorb impact forces. For side collisions, it employs a boron steel frame with honeycomb filling and reinforced steel door beams, providing exceptional strength and durability.
In the event of a frontal crash, innovative design elements allow critical components such as the subframe, suspension, and powertrain to drop away via specially engineered bolts, absorbing impact energy and preventing intrusion into the passenger cabin. This intelligent crash management system exemplifies Lynk & Co’s commitment to occupant safety.
Unparalleled Cabin Protection
Passenger safety is at the core of the 08 EM-P’s design. The vehicle features advanced safety features such as the Door Opening Warning (DOW) system, which prevents doors from opening if another vehicle is approaching, complemented by exterior lighting alerts for added visibility.
The cabin is protected by an extended air curtain spanning nearly two meters along the sides, combined with side airbags capable of remaining inflated for six seconds, providing enhanced protection during side impacts or rollovers. Additionally, the passenger airbag system employs a 120-liter capacity with an environmentally friendly hydrogen-oxygen generator, ensuring safety without compromising ecological responsibility.
Smart Safety Support for Drivers
Equipped with intelligent safety systems, the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P actively assists drivers through features such as steering wheel release detection and driver status monitoring. These systems work proactively to identify potential risks early, maintain vehicle control, and remind drivers to stay alert, fostering safer driving experiences.
Battery Safety You Can Trust
The 08 EM-P’s high-voltage battery pack has undergone over 100 rigorous safety tests—including crush, collision, fire, and puncture assessments. Its robust reinforced frame, with honeycomb filling and submarine-grade beams, disperses impact forces effectively. In a crash, impact energy is diverted away from the battery, which is designed to cut off high-voltage power within 50 milliseconds to prevent fire hazards. A high-strength steel guard plate underneath further shields the battery from external damage.
Cleaner Cabin Environment
Prioritizing environmental sustainability and interior health, the 08 EM-P uses eco-friendly materials that reduce harmful emissions during manufacturing. It also features an innovative active cabin cleaning system that automatically ventilates the interior when parked. The result is a “three-zero” environment, zero harmful solvents, zero waste cotton, and zero asphalt, creating a healthier, more sustainable driving space.
Power and Range Without Compromise
Beyond safety, the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P offers impressive performance and efficiency with its hybrid EM-P system. It delivers up to 205 km of pure electric driving and a total range of up to 1,400 km (WLTP), combining long-distance capability with a smooth, powerful driving experience and a genuine EV feel, eliminating range anxiety without sacrificing performance.
