Taking advantage of the recent "far ahead" Dongfeng, in this year’s "hybrid first year", the extended range model has become popular again. The ideal naturally goes without saying, and is forging ahead towards the "BBA" team. But unfortunately, the ideal and cheapest L7 is also starting at more than 300,000 yuan, which is not friendly to most of us.
"Is there an extended range car that has no lack of luxury and is just in the 20-300,000 range?"
The market helped me answer everyone’s question. The table contains not only the most popular plug-in models, but also the extended range models we are mainly discussing this time. The second, third, and ninth-ranked models all have corresponding extended range models. But aside from the new Q M7, Lynk & Co 08 and Q M5, which are in the limelight and most of them surpass 300,000, who is better?
It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and everyone’s view of beauty is the metaphysics of the century. So it is generally not a topic of discussion, but for Lingke 08, I really have to talk about its design.
Compared with the 2023 Q M5 with basically unchanged appearance, the 1100mm Daybreak daylight and bezel-less rearview mirrors used by Lynk & Co 08 have both impact and freshness. Although your mileage may vary, it is an indisputable fact that Lynk & Co 08 is designed to be younger.
Of course, in addition to whether they have an eye, the main criterion for choosing a model still depends on their own hardcore capabilities.
Unlike the only 1-speed electric vehicle single-speed gearbox in the M5, Lynk & Co 08 uses a 3-speed DHT Evo gearbox. For extended-range models, the 3-speed gearbox allows the engine to operate at low, medium, and high speeds in a lower speed range under three driving conditions, achieving relatively low fuel consumption at high speeds, while reducing the noise caused by the extended-range engine pulling up and turning.
It is worth noting that the maximum horsepower used in the Q & J M5 is 152Ps, and the 1.5T range extension engine needs to be filled with 95 #gasoline; the maximum horsepower used in the Lynk & Co 08 is 163Ps, and the 1.5T range extension engine needs to be filled with 92 #gasoline. However, the H15RT engine of the Q & J M5 uses a cast iron cylinder, which has better heat load capacity than the Lynk & Co 08 aluminum alloy cylinder.
Entering the car, the wheelbase of the Lynk & Co 08 2848mm and the wheelbase of the Q & C M5 2880mm are just short of the length of the previous inch photo. However, the sitting position and line of sight when driving the Lynk & Co 08 can be higher than the 1625mm of the Q & C M5 thanks to the 1685mm cockpit height.
In terms of "furniture" quality, the 23-speaker, 16-channel, 1600W Harmanka audio equipped with audio algorithm, 92-inch AR-HUD and 15.4-inch central control screen with 2560 * 1600 resolution bring audio-visual enjoyment beyond the M5 (19 speakers, 75-inch HUD, 15.6-inch central control screen with 1920 * 1080 resolution) to the Lynk 08. In particular, the Lynk 08 is also equipped with a co-pilot with leg rest and a rear seat that supports massage, so the front and rear rows of the ride experience will be the next city.
However, in terms of the smart car system, the blessing of Hongmeng BUFF played a decisive role. The silky and smooth car system and the connected experience of Huawei ecological users, even if Lynk & Co 08 is equipped with the best new LYNK Flyme Auto in the same class, it cannot be surpassed.
Of course, for users who are not Huawei’s ecosystem, Lynk & Co 08’s industry-leading mobile phone interconnection will also bring a good feeling. It is worth playing with it yourself.
The multiple-choice question between Lynk & Co 08 and Q World M5 is actually not difficult to choose. If you pay attention to design and comfort, I believe that users of Lynk & Co 08 will receive good feedback.
But if you pay attention to technology and ecology, it will be more convenient to ask the world M5. As for the intelligent driving assistance that has not been mentioned, you know it.
But if I had to choose, I might be more inclined to Lynk & Co 08. After all, compared to the actual "furniture" that can be touched almost all the time, the frequency of intelligent driving is not so high, not to mention the driving assistance system of Lynk & Co 08 is also very easy to use.
