Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The Lynk & Co Z10 95 kWh 4WD utilizes a dual-motor, all-wheel drive (AWD) powertrain. The front axle is driven by an asynchronous electric motor producing 367 horsepower and 370 Nm (272.9 lb-ft) of torque, identified by the model code YS235XYG01. The rear axle features a synchronous electric motor generating 422 horsepower and 440 Nm (324.53 lb-ft) of torque, designated TZ235XYC01. Combined, these motors deliver a system output of 789 horsepower and 810 Nm (597.43 lb-ft) of torque. The 800V architecture allows for rapid charging capabilities. The 95 kWh battery pack, utilizing Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry, is positioned under the floor, contributing to a low center of gravity and maximizing interior space. The single-speed automatic transmission efficiently delivers power to all four wheels.
Driving Characteristics
The Z10 95 kWh 4WD delivers exhilarating performance, achieving 0-60 mph in approximately 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 155.34 mph.
