Link 20's "whole system standard" logic: good technology should not let users make choice questions.
The new Link 20 debuted at the Chengdu Auto Show on August 21, and it was announced that it will be officially launched in September. Unlike the previous Z20 name, the "Z" in the new car name was removed and returned to the main number sequence. On the stand, an eye-catching display car with a full carbon fiber large-size tail, coated in the color of the Dynamic 24 yellow car, is the new Link 20 large tail version. Official data show that this tail can provide 500N downforce at a speed of 180km/h, with a wind control kit composed of a front shovel, a side skirt, and a back lip, and the fighting atmosphere is directly full. This is not a modified car, but the original factory straight out. After all, the characteristics of the Link brand are "factory modified, factory original". All sports kits are original products, enjoy the original factory warranty, and can be legally on the road without filing. However, the appearance alone is not enough to compete with competitors at the same price, so the new Link20 has other killers. The whole system is standard, and there is no optional item. The core product strategy of the new Link 20 is not how high a certain configuration is, but three things have been made into the whole system: 800V high-voltage platform, 6C ultra-fast charging, and lidar. Officially called "the only vehicle with a 800V high-voltage platform and lidar as standard in the 200,000 series." The 6C ultra-fast charging has a maximum charging power of 460kW, and it takes 12 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%. The long range version is 545km long range, and the ultra long range version is 630km long range. In terms of intelligent driving, the whole system is equipped with a lidar and a vast H5 assisted driving system, 28 sensing units, supporting urban Noa, high-speed Noa and parking to parking space pilot assistance. The power is equipped with a new generation of 16-in-1 silicon carbide oil cold drive, 245kW rear drive motor, and Zero Hundred Acceleration for 6.4 seconds. This combination of configurations is indeed scarce at prices up to 200,000. Zhou Yan, executive deputy general manager of Lingke Automobile Sales Company, explained in a conversation with AutoHome: "The only 800V high-voltage platform and lidar in 200,000 are standard, and the entry point is high, so users do not need to spend more money to upgrade in order to get a high-end experience." Exquisite and personalized In addition to the hardcore configuration, Link20 has also worked hard on exquisite. Lynk Flyme Auto 2.5 Smart Cockpit System, 15.4-inch 2.5K center control screen, 10.2-inch instrument screen, 13.8-inch HUD three-screen interaction. There are 36 storage spaces in the whole car. The world's first car freezer + car refrigerator: The front box integrates 37.5L car freezer (-18 ℃ to 10 ℃), and the central console 6.8L cold and warm refrigerator (-6 ℃ to 50 ℃). High-frequency commonly used functions retain the physical buttons and crystal prism knobs, and the large size soft mirror is equipped with double led soft lights. The launch of the Big Tail Edition is another product logic. Zhou said that Link "will not follow the current to make products, to have their own personality, will also listen to the voice of the user". LinkedIn 07GT and LinkedIn 20 Tail Edition "are born in the voice of the user". The big tail version has achieved "legal modification" with the original sports kit, targeting young users who pursue personality and do not want to toss the modification procedures at a later stage. The acceleration from insertion and mixing to pure electricity revealed in the interview that in the past, Lingke used EM-P insertion and mixing as the basic disk, but in the face of the increasing market structure of pure electricity penetration, "decisively accelerated the pace of pure electricity landing". From the opening market awareness of LinkedIn 10 and 10 + to the release of the new LinkedIn 20, LinkedIn has technically fully embraced the 800V high-voltage platform and full-stack high-end intelligent driving, "completely completing the shortcomings of complementary energy and intelligence". According to the plan, the new Link 20 will officially enter the market in September. It will form a new energy product matrix with the Link 10 family, Link 07GT, Link 08, Link 900, etc., to jointly support the brand's terminal sales in the second half of the year. Market variables Regarding pricing, the new LinkedIn 20 has not yet announced the selling price. But with the addition of 800V, lidar, and larger batteries, the cost is no longer the same. The official caliber is "Only the new Link 20 is currently equipped with 800V + lidar within 200,000." But where the price is ultimately set determines how much market impact this "system-wide standard" strategy can produce. Zhou was relatively cautious in judging the market in the second half of the year. He mentioned that in the first half of 2026, due to multiple factors such as the trade-in of old for new, the withdrawal of new energy purchase tax subsidies, and the increase in consumer wait-and-see sentiment, the domestic terminal market fell sharply. In the second half of the year, we will enter the peak season of traditional car buying and add new products to the market. The Q3 quarter will be mildly repaired, and the Q4 seasonal impulse will be released at the end of the year, which will be significantly stronger. For Link20, the recovery of the market is a favorable factor, but more importantly: when the "whole system standard" becomes a product label, it can really impress those consumers who repeatedly compare on the configuration list. The answer to this question will not be known until September prices are announced. The following is the full text of the conversation, edited by AutoHome: AutoHome: Positioning the new LinkedIn 20 and what is the core differentiated competitive advantage? What are your expectations for its future market performance? Zhou Yan: The goal of the new Link 20 is to redefine the value standard of A pure electric SUV. It puts the intelligence, driving control and sophistication that could only be experienced on high-priced models in the past into the hands of 200,000 users. The only 800V high-voltage platform and lidar within 200,000 is standard, and users do not need to spend more money to upgrade in order to get a high-end experience. Third-class power and control: all systems are equipped with 800V high-voltage platform + 6C ultra-fast charging, 10% -80% charging takes only 12 minutes; equipped with the industry's first innovative generation of 16-in-1 silicon carbide oil cold electric drive. Beyond the level of intelligence: the whole system is equipped with a vast H5 assisted driving system + lidar, supporting city/high-speed Noa and D2D parking spaces to the parking space, and the cockpit is upgraded to Lynk Flyme Auto 2.5, and the super Eva agent is on the bus for the first time. Extended battery life: The long range version is 545km and the ultra-long range version is 630km, which can meet the needs of urban commuters and cover the long-distance travel needs of more users. Premium comfort/sophistication: the world's first in-car refrigerator outside the car. Lazy zero-pressure lounge chairs, 23-yang Lynk Sound speakers, large-size soft-light makeup mirrors and other comfortable configurations are all available, making refinement and pleasure into every user's daily journey. The new Link 20 carries Link's mission of occupying the head of the A-level pure electric market impact market segment. Relying on the differentiated product strength - the high-end configuration of the whole system, the leading technical highlights of the same class - we are confident in its competitiveness in this price range. This price range is one of the most competitive in the current market and has the largest user base. We judge that the user's demand for "entry is high" will become stronger and stronger, and the new Link20 accurately responds to this demand. For Link, the new Link 20 also means more than sales of a single model. It will complement the Link10 family, Link07GT, Link08 and Link900 to jointly boost the brand's terminal sales potential in the second half of the year, and hand over a convincing transcript for the important node of the tenth anniversary. Car House: What user insights are behind the launch of LinkedIn's Top 20 Tail Edition? Does this mean Link will introduce more derivatives for a more segmented, personalized market? Zhou Yan: Starting from every detail of the user's life, the new Lingke 20 focuses on the pursuit of quality and satisfaction to every part of the product: the refinement of the new Lingke 20, starting from every detail of the user's life, the pursuit of quality and satisfaction to every part of the product. Good design requires a label of your own - the new LinkedIn 20 exterior features The Next Day family style design with the world's only air-breaking luminous double-tailed wing, which is ultra-recognizable and exquisitely self-focused. Opening the door, every part of the interior hides ingenuity - 36 storage spaces for the whole car, each item has its own location, can be placed anywhere, and is easily accessible; the storage area under the center console is specially optimized, the corners are rounded, the material is soft, and the delicate small bag will not be scratched; the high-frequency commonly used functions return to the physical buttons + multi-functional crystal prism knobs, which can be slimmed down and manicure can be easily operated, which is both a function and a delicate trinket; the large-sized soft-lighted makeup mirror is equipped with double-sided led soft-lighted lamps to illuminate every décor. To be truly exquisite is to take care of every minute of your life. Starting from the driving interest pursued by users, the new LinkedIn Top 20 Tail Edition is naturally responsible for igniting emotions: the new LinkedIn Top 20 Tail Edition gives full emotional value and a sense of participation from visual and touch control. Adopting the Jumping 24 yellow car color, paired with the full carbon fiber big tail and wind control sports kit, the front shovel, side skirt, and rear lip comprehensively enhance the sports posture, and the full carbon fiber big tail can provide 500N downforce at 180km/h. In the cockpit, the seats are covered with a large area of imitation suede material, the shoulders are integrated with lightning symbol embroidery and stamping, and the transparent perforation and strip design are used to outline the track trajectory of the forward breakthrough. The new Link 20 achieves "modification on the road legally" with the original sports kit, releasing more pure driving pleasure with the user. In the era of pure electricity, driving fun can still be filled. Users care about the hard strength, the new Link 20 are arranged: the new Link 20 will be truly valuable technology to achieve the whole system standard, less configuration trade-offs, more product value. The entire system is equipped with an 800V high-voltage platform, 6C ultra-fast charging, lidar and a vast H5 assisted driving system. The best technology is to make it more enjoyable for more users. Link always insists on being a personality car and not a mediocre car: indeed, Link should have his own personality and listen to the user's voice. The newly launched Link 07GT and the new Link 20 and the new Link 20 Tail Edition, which were unveiled today, were born in the voice of users - our users also hope that Link can make some more personalized cars. Therefore, we will sort out and precipitate the needs of users, make personalized products with Link's own characteristics, and provide users with more choices. Car House: The market share of pure electric vehicles soared in the first half of this year, what are Link's future plans for pure electric product lines? Zhou: In the past, we did use EM-P insertion and mixing as the basic disk, but in the face of the current market structure of increasing pure electric penetration, we have decisively accelerated the pace of pure electric landing. From the opening of the market awareness of Link 10 and 10 + to the release of the new Link 20 today, we have technically fully embraced the 800V high-voltage platform and full-stack high-end intelligent driving, completely making up for the shortcomings of complementary energy and intelligence; in terms of categories, we have also deeply integrated pure electricity with Link's sports and trend genes. In the pure electric circuit, Link will continue to make differentiated products with personality and driving pleasure. Car House: The current domestic market demand is under pressure, internal and external heat. What is your judgment on the overall car market trend in the second half of this year? Zhou: The overall market is still under pressure. In the first half of 2026, the domestic terminal market fell sharply by 18.7% due to multiple factors such as the exchange of old for new, the backsliding of new energy purchase tax subsidies, and the increase in consumer wait-and-see sentiment. According to the forecast of many institutions such as the China Automobile Association, entering the traditional car buying season in the second half of the year, as well as a large number of new products on the market, we believe that the Q3 quarter will be mildly restored. In Q4, the traditional seasonal impulse release at the end of the year will be significantly stronger than the previous one.
