The Lynk & Co 08 EM-P is now in the Guinness Book of World Records. The premium plug-in hybrid SUV now holds two World Records: longest hybrid driving range and longest pure electric driving range, achieved under zero-refueling and zero-recharging conditions.
The first record, officially titled “Longest Journey Attempted by a Plug-in Hybrid Powered Production SUV Without Refueling or Recharging,” was completed in Hami, China in 2024 across extreme environmental and complex road conditions. In hybrid mode, the Lynk & Co EM-P achieved a total driving range of 1,813 kilometers, significantly exceeding its official quoted range of 1,400 kilometers.
The second record, “Longest Journey Attempted by a Plug-in Hybrid Powered Production SUV on Electric Mode,” was achieved in Toluca, Mexico in 2025, demonstrating the vehicle’s ability to function as a true electric daily driver. In pure electric mode, it achieved a total driving range of 293 kilometers, surpassing its official maximum CLTC pure electric range of 245 kilometers, and covering far more than what most users need for everyday commutes and short trips.
These achievements are made possible by Lynk & Co EM-P’s “Super Hybrid” System, which is designed around intelligent energy use rather than simply relying on larger batteries or fuel tanks. The vehicle is also designed with CMO Evo architecture which adopts a seven-layer design, delivering a longer wheelbase, improved pure-electric performance, a stronger chassis, and smarter systems that enhance driving, safety, and connectivity.
While the records themselves are global milestones, their real significance lies in what they mean for everyday driving. These achievements show that long range is no longer reserved for test tracks or ideal conditions, but something drivers can rely on in real life, allowing them to depend more on electric driving during the week, while still having the flexibility to take longer trips when needed.
Rather than pushing drivers to constantly plan around charging or refueling stops, the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P allows energy replenishment to become optional rather than necessary. For longer drives, this means greater flexibility and fewer interruptions. For daily use, it means the freedom to drive without constantly thinking about range.
