The Lynk & Co Z10 is positioned as a mid-to-large-sized sedan, built on the same platform as the ZEEKR 001. It is positioned as a mid-to-large-sized pure electric sedan. Following the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P and Lynk 07 EM-P, the Z10 represents a milestone in Lynk & Co's transition to new energy vehicles. Pre-sales for the new car are expected to begin in late July.

As a full-sized sedan, the Lynk & Co Z10 measures 5,028mm in length, 1,966mm in width, and 1,468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,005mm. In comparison, the ZEEKR 001 measures 4,977mm in length, 1,999mm in width, and 1,545mm in height, with the same wheelbase. The Lynk & Co Z10 has a noticeable advantage in length, while the ZEKR 001 slightly outdoes it in width and height.

The Lynk & Co Z10 will take on such models as the ZEEKR 007, the Xiaomi SU7, the NIO ET5, the XPENG P7, the Luxeed S7, the AVATR 12, and the Hongqi EH7.

In terms of exterior design, the Lynk & Co Z10 incorporates elements from the The Next Day concept car. Its overall style is similar to the Lynk & Co 07 and reflects Lynk & Co's new family design direction with a strong technological vibe. Unlike previous models, which featured similar headlight designs with connected vertical light strips, the Lynk & Co Z10 has two independent vertical light strips and four small decorative strips in the middle that do not light up. The car uses RGB light strips, with horizontal daytime running lights offering 256 color variations.

From the side, the Lynk & Co Z10 is a typical coupe, yet it maximizes the design language of The Next Day concept car, making it less rounded compared to the ZEEKR 001. The Lynk & Co Z10 features hidden water cutting lines and frameless doors, but surprisingly, the mirrors retain a traditional framed design.

At the rear, the Lynk & Co Z10 also showcases many elements from The Next Day concept car, such as the irregular geometric design on the license plate holder and rear bumper. The taillights echo the front light design with a dot matrix pattern. Additionally, the rear features a ducktail-styled spoiler and a retractable electric rear wing.

Inside, the Lynk & Co Z10's design is relatively conventional and simple. It includes a floating central control screen and an embedded instrument panel, along with a heads-up display (HUD). Notably, the Z10’s central control area has no physical buttons, requiring all operations to be performed through the touchscreen. The interior seats are quite distinctive, utilizing a lot of leather and suede materials. The rear seats offer ventilation, heating, and massage functions, which are uncommon in this class. The car also comes with a panoramic sunroof, although it does not include a sunshade.

As for performance, Lynk & Co has yet to release specific details about the Z10 model. According to previous reports, the car is built on an 800-volt high-voltage platform, can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, and can charge for 573-km range in 15 minutes, with a total range exceeding 800 km. The Lynk & Co Z10 is also equipped with dual-chamber air suspension and CDC (continuous damping control) electromagnetic suspension, potentially supporting features like rear-wheel steering, tank turns, and crab walk mode.
