What’s new about the Lynk & Co 07 and 08
The brand’s representatives shared official photos of the Lynk & Co 07 EM-P and the 08 EM-P, positioning these cars as “all-new” models. However, these cars offer only minor exterior and hardware adjustments. Both vehicles follow the design language of the distinguishing The Next Day concept car. They adopt headlamps integrated into the front bumper and LED running lights that sit close to the bonnet. It is worth noting that the 07 EM-P sedan adopts a red interior shade, while the 08 EM-P crossover offers an orange color.
The core feature of the updated cars is a LiDAR on the roof. The usage of this sensor hints that the 07 EM-P and the 08 EM-P will adopt the G-Pilot H5 driver’s assistance system. It adopts two Nvidia Orin X chips with a combined computing power of 508 TOPS. This system is capable of performing the Navigate On Autopilot (NOA) function on urban roads.
It is also likely that top-trim variants of the updated Lynk & Co models will adopt the G-Pilot H7. Its core feature is the adoption of the new generation Nvidia Drive Thor SoC with a peak computing power of 700 TOPS. This system is capable of point-to-point map-free navigation with memory parking. Previously, the Lynk & Co 900 flagship SUV with the G-Pilot H7 entered the Chinese market.
