While the fully electric car market still struggles to take off, interest in increasingly efficient hybrid solutions grows. The new Lynk & Co 08 is a concrete example, a plug-in Hybrid SUV that could represent a turning point for those looking for a greener alternative without giving up practicality.
Because plug-in hybrids are conquering the market
The reality is that many motorists are still hesitant towards pure electric, often for fears related to autonomy or the charging network. Plug-in hybrids like this new model offer an interesting compromise solution: the possibility of traveling in full electric mode for daily journeys, with the safety of a petrol engine for longer travel.
A record electric autonomy
The most interesting figure of this SUV is the declared electric autonomy: up to 200 kilometers with a single recharge. It means that for most daily movements-home-work, commissions in the city, short trips out of town-you can travel to zero local emissions. During road tests in Sweden, the vehicle even passed the expectations, confirming that the 200 km declared are not only figures on paper.
360 degree sustainability
Attention to the environment is not limited to the propulsion system. The interiors use eco-sustainable materials and vegan leather seats, demonstrating how it is possible to create a premium car without ethical compromises. The aerodynamic design (CX coefficient of only 0.28) also contributes to reducing energy consumption.
The numbers that really matter
Technology at the service of efficiency
The “Super Hybrid” system combines a 208 HP electric motor with a 137 HP thermal, for a total power of 345 HP. The 39.6 kWh battery represents an excellent compromise between electric autonomy and overall weight of the vehicle.
With a starting price of 52,995 euros, this SUV is positioned in the Premium segment but with complete equipment as standard. The arrival scheduled for July 2025 in Italy represents a further option for those who want to reduce their environmental impact without distorting their mobility habits.
The real green revolution may not only go from fully electrical cars, but also from increasingly efficient hybrid solutions such as this, which allow a gradual transition to a more sustainable mobility.
