Lynk & Co 07 GT launches July 23 as the brand’s first wagon from 165,800 yuan

Lynk & Co will formally launch the 07 GT in China on July 23, 2026, with the presentation beginning at 7:00 pm Beijing time. The car is not entirely new to the public: presales opened on June 29 with three regular trims. The July event should confirm final retail prices and the first delivery timetable.

The 07 GT matters because it is Lynk & Co’s first production wagon. The brand has relied mostly on SUVs and sedans, while sister company Zeekr already covers the shooting-brake niche with the 001 and 007 GT. Lynk & Co is entering below most of the new wagons launched in China during the past year, many of which started above 200,000 yuan.

China presale pricing is not an overseas on-road price. Shipping, tax, homologation, registration, warranty and dealer costs vary by market. Lynk & Co has confirmed a European plan for 2027, but not UK pricing or final specification. The current Lynk & Co range is listed in AutoCore’s catalogue.

The body is 4,846 mm long, 1,900 mm wide and 1,485 mm tall, with a 2,843 mm wheelbase. An optional sports package increases length to 4,866 mm. The low roof, long shoulder line and pronounced rear pillar make it look closer to a touring car than a boxy estate.

The nose follows Lynk & Co’s The Next Day design language with split lighting, a narrow centre strip and large lower intakes. A LiDAR unit sits above the windscreen, the doors are frameless and the handles are semi-hidden. Performance versions can add a dry carbon-fibre rear wing and four-piston brakes.

Practicality is still central to the format. Front-wheel-drive versions list 614 litres of base luggage capacity. A wide tailgate and relatively straight cargo walls should make the wagon more useful than the 07 EM-P saloon, although Lynk & Co has not yet published a seats-folded volume.

Every version combines a 120 kW 1.5-litre turbocharged engine, a three-speed hybrid transmission and a 28.3 kWh traction battery. The front-wheel-drive system produces 300 kW in total and carries CLTC claims of 200 km electric range and 1,422 km combined range.

Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes 5.5 seconds. The range needs context: CLTC is an optimistic Chinese test cycle and cannot be treated as a WLTP result. Temperature, speed, tyres, cabin heating and charging habits will all change real-world performance.

The proposition is straightforward. Daily commuting can happen largely as an EV when the owner plugs in regularly, while the petrol engine removes charging anxiety on long journeys. That combination is especially relevant in markets where public chargers remain unevenly distributed.

AWD Performance Ultra raises total output to 390 kW, approximately 523 hp, and reaches 100 km/h in under five seconds. The extra performance reduces the published range to 170 km electric and 1,315 km combined CLTC.

Its major chassis upgrade is MRC magnetorheological damping. The fluid inside each damper changes resistance under a magnetic field, allowing the controller to switch rapidly between comfort and body control. Less expensive versions use adaptive hydraulic dampers, with MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link rear axle across the range.

Published data lists a 190 km/h top speed. Road tests will still need to establish steering accuracy, brake consistency and stability-control calibration. A high system-output figure alone does not guarantee that a heavy PHEV will feel coherent on a demanding road.

A 15.4-inch central display runs Lynk Flyme Auto 2.5 on a 5 nm cockpit chip rated at 30 TOPS. A digital instrument panel sits ahead of the driver, while a large augmented-reality head-up display keeps navigation and assistance prompts in the line of sight.

Roof LiDAR is standard across the announced China lineup. That is unusual below 200,000 yuan, but a sensor does not make the vehicle autonomous. Available functions depend on cameras, radar, compute, software validation and local regulation.

The front seats have a pronounced performance shape, and upper trims list 12-way power adjustment, ventilation and premium upholstery. The Time Limited Edition uses 7.23 square metres of blue Alcantara. Photos also show a usable rear bench and square luggage bay, so the wagon’s everyday function has not been sacrificed for its fast silhouette.

200 Long Range Max starts at 165,800 yuan, 200 Long Range Ultra at 175,800 yuan and AWD Performance Ultra at 185,800 yuan. The Time Limited Edition costs 208,800 yuan; all 1,007 units were reserved after presales began.

Only 20,000 yuan separates the entry model from AWD, which may make the flagship tempting. Buyers should wait for the final equipment matrix, however: seats, wheels, brakes, suspension and assistance features can matter more in daily use than the headline power figure.

The car arrives as Lynk & Co needs fresh momentum. June China sales fell 27.5% year on year to 19,066 vehicles, and monthly volume has declined sequentially for eight months from its October 2025 peak. The wagon must attract a new audience without simply shifting customers away from the 07 EM-P saloon and the brand’s SUVs.
