Lynk & Co has introduced the 10 and 10+ sedans at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, positioning them as high-performance electric vehicles with aggressive pricing that undercuts many Western equivalents. The range starts at roughly $30,700 for the entry model and climbs to about $38,000 for the top variant, placing these cars in the same price bracket as mainstream compact sedans.
The 10 sedan measures just under 199 inches long with a sleek fastback profile, split headlights, hidden door handles, and optional two-tone paint. It rides on 21-inch forged wheels and features four-piston front brakes to handle its considerable power. The lineup includes three configurations: a rear-wheel-drive base model with 402 horsepower, a more potent rear-drive version at 496 horsepower, and the flagship dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant delivering 912 horsepower. The latter can reach 62 mph in around three seconds, performance that rivals dedicated supercars but at a fraction of their cost.
Battery choices consist of a 77-kilowatt-hour pack offering a claimed 333 miles of range under China’s CLTC testing cycle, or a larger 95-kilowatt-hour unit rated for up to 507 miles. Both operate on a 900-volt electrical architecture, which supports faster charging and greater efficiency on paper. A front-mounted LiDAR unit paired with the Thor U chip enables semi-autonomous driving capabilities, while the minimalist cabin includes a 15.4-inch floating touchscreen running the Lynk Flyme Auto system, a digital instrument cluster, head-up display, massaging front seats, and a 23-speaker Harman Kardon audio setup with 1,600 watts of amplification.
This launch arrives at a telling moment in the global automotive landscape. While several American manufacturers scale back ambitious pure-EV targets in favor of hybrids and traditional combustion engines, Chinese brands continue to push affordable, feature-packed electric vehicles that bundle luxury appointments with extreme performance. Lynk & Co, backed by Geely, benefits from that ecosystem, delivering specifications that would cost significantly more in established Western markets—if they exist at all at these prices.
Yet questions remain about real-world execution. CLTC range figures are known to be optimistic compared with EPA or WLTP standards, and sustained high-output driving will inevitably reduce those numbers. Build quality, long-term reliability, and resale value outside China will also need scrutiny as the brand eyes broader international expansion. The 10 sedan’s blend of space, technology, and power nevertheless highlights how rapidly the competitive landscape is shifting, forcing traditional luxury and performance segments to confront much lower price points from emerging players.
Deliveries are expected to begin this summer following the opening of orders. For buyers seeking maximum performance and equipment on a relatively modest budget, the Lynk & Co 10 presents an intriguing option, even if it carries the usual uncertainties that accompany any new high-volume EV platform from a rapidly scaling manufacturer.
