– updated Proton X50 twin gets 299 hp PHEV system with 2 motors, 102 km electric rangeThe car looks neat and contemporary, but what’s truly caught our eye is the Lynk & Co 06 EM-P’s technical specs. Thethat can be considered as a Geely Group twin of the Proton X50, and it has been refreshed with Lynk & Co’s new design language.
With help, of course. This PHEV powertrain combines the BHE15 engine with two electric motors, which take juice from a 19.09 kWh battery. With 102 km of claimed electric range, one can use this as a pure EV for the daily commute, but with zero range anxiety. The CLTC fuel consumption rating is 4.98 litres per 100 km.
The 06 EM-P’s rear end is simple and clean, with the main element being the full-width light bar, which also houses an illuminated Lynk & Co logo. With its minimalist design and light grey melange tones, the SUV’s cabin has a Scandinavian feel about it – unsurprising, as Lynk & Co is a JV between Geely and Geely-owned Volvo, and ‘designed in Sweden’ is used as a selling point.
