Lynk & Co. has achieved a major worldwide milestone with the Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P, earning two Guinness World Records. The Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P is now the world’s first high-end plug-in hybrid car to hold Guinness World Records for both the longest pure electric driving range and the longest hybrid driving range, both of which were attained without the need for refueling or recharging.
The first record, officially named “Longest Journey Attempted by a Plug-in Hybrid Powered Production SUV Without Refueling or Recharging,” was set in Hami, China on April 18–20, 2024, over challenging road conditions and harsh environmental conditions. In hybrid mode, the Lynk & Co EM-P achieved a total driving range of 1,813 kilometers, greatly surpassing its official maximum CLTC total range of 1,400 kilometers.
The second record, “Longest Journey Attempted by a Plug-in Hybrid Powered Production SUV on Electric Mode,” was achieved in Toluca, Mexico on December 22, 2025, demonstrating the vehicle’s ability to function as a true electric daily driver. In pure electric mode, it achieved a total driving range of 293 kilometers, surpassing its official maximum CLTC pure electric range of 245 kilometers, and covering far more than what most users need for everyday commutes and short trips.
These achievements are made possible by Lynk & Co EM-P’s “Super Hybrid” System, which is designed around intelligent energy use rather than simply relying on larger batteries or fuel tanks. The vehicle is also designed with CMO Evo architecture which adopts a seven-layer design, delivering a longer wheelbase, improved pure-electric performance, a stronger chassis, and smarter systems that enhance driving, safety, and connectivity.
While the records themselves are global milestones, their real significance lies in what they mean for everyday driving. These achievements show that long range is no longer reserved for test tracks or ideal conditions, but something drivers can rely on in real life, allowing them to depend more on electric driving during the week, while still having the flexibility to take longer trips when needed.
The Lynk & Co 08 EM-P makes energy replenishment voluntary rather than required, saving drivers from having to continuously schedule charging or refueling stops. This results in more freedom and fewer disruptions for longer drives. For everyday use, it means being able to drive without worrying about range all the time.
The Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P, which has two Guinness World Records in both hybrid and pure electric range, shows how smart hybrid technology can provide useful, real-world advantages by fusing performance, efficiency, and convenience in one car.
