3 Answers
The real fuel consumption of the Lynk & Co PHEV when the battery is depleted is 1.7 liters per 100 kilometers. The following is an introduction about Lynk & Co: 1. Introduction: LYNK & CO (Chinese name: Lingke) is an automotive brand jointly established by Geely and Volvo in 2016. 2. Positioning: It integrates European technology, design, manufacturing, and sales, with all product development based on Volvo's Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform. The first model, the Lynk & Co 01, was launched in 2016. 3. Concept: LYNK & CO (Lingke) is a new-era premium brand with European technology, European design, global manufacturing, and global sales. It has an innate global gene and is designed for urban populations worldwide, born in the internet era.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co PHEV for over a year. In charge-sustaining mode, the actual fuel consumption typically ranges between 6.5 to 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, approaching 8 liters in congested urban traffic, while highway cruising can reduce it to around 6 liters. In daily driving, I've noticed that fuel consumption is significantly influenced by personal habits—for instance, sudden braking or using air conditioning can increase fuel usage by about 10%. Optimization methods include regular engine maintenance, maintaining an economical speed of 60-80 kilometers per hour, and minimizing the use of charge-sustaining mode by relying more on charging stations. Compared to conventional gasoline vehicles, it saves some fuel costs, but prolonged charge-sustaining mode can place additional strain on the engine, so I recommend balancing usage with more frequent charging. The fuel consumption data is based on real-world measurements, not official ideal values, making it a practical reference for those concerned about actual expenses.
From a technical perspective, the fuel consumption in charge-sustaining mode primarily depends on engine efficiency and vehicle load. For the Lynk & Co PHEV's 1.5T engine under charge-sustaining conditions, most users report actual fuel consumption ranging between 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers. There are multiple influencing factors - poor road conditions, increased payload, or insufficient tire pressure can push consumption above 7.5 liters. Personally, I've maintained around 6 liters on mountainous highways, though urban traffic congestion occasionally raises it to 8 liters. I recommend utilizing EV mode more to avoid charge-sustaining operation, while regularly checking battery health to prevent system drag. Practically speaking, real-world charge-sustaining consumption slightly exceeds advertised figures, but remains acceptable for daily driving, especially with controlled driving habits.
