Standing on the high ground of the new energy era, Lynk & Co has a new insight into the new generation of home users: they pay attention to quality and freshness, pay attention to multiple car scenarios and the travel experience of each family member, not only have high requirements for the mechanical quality of the vehicle, but also look forward to a new intelligent driving experience.

Smarter the new frontier, cross the border
Drawing on the essence of The Next Day concept car design, Lynk & Co 08 is based on the four design elements of Dare to Be Different, Proud of Technology, High-end Advanced, and Abundant Experience as the core. Taking sunrise as inspiration, it presents the urban light and shadow changes from dawn to early morning. With a new attitude ready to go, it inspires the dawn of the era. This reshapes the design concept of smart cars: crossing the boundaries of space, creating the possibility of infinite extension for the space of home; also crossing the boundaries of time, creating the possibility of infinite connection between the current experience and future life for users.

Under this concept, Lynk & Co 08 fully considers the life path of the new generation of home users, integrates aesthetic design with user application scenarios, integrates high-end technology elements, and elevates the overall technology tone of the whole car to a new height. This will not only open up the multi-form of user experience, but also bring novel evolutionary directions to Facebook-based car design.
Intelligent innovative design, full of details
Lynk & Co 08 integrates leading intelligent technology into the design, enabling it to bring powerful functional equipment on the basis of design beauty. In addition, thanks to the 4820/1915/1685mm body size of the vehicle and the 2848mm leapfrog wheelbase, the appearance of Lynk & Co 08 presents a delicate and atmospheric visual look, and also creates a wide interior space for family travel.
In appearance, Lynk & Co 08 adopts the newly evolved Daybreak daylight lamp, which is more flat and graphic in shape, reflecting a stronger sense of refinement in the front face. In terms of functionality, its unilateral luminous area can reach 870mm, which not only breaks through the design boundary, but also creates a purer visual impact.

And when we wake up the car, it will also be accompanied by lighting effects, bringing users a highly ceremonial interactive experience.
The side is also the most brilliant part of Lynk & Co 08. The designer boldly adopted the Flush Door process to make the side windows on the same pure plane, like a smooth lens. The addition of hidden door handles, Yuedong unbounded doors and smart unbounded exterior mirrors perfectly presents the pure and delicate details on the side.

During the lighting process, the crystal flows and flashes, like the pulse of life at the beginning of the day, reflecting the sense of energy and not lack of technological elements.
