Powertrain & Engine Architecture
The Lynk & Co 900 EM-P 2.0T utilizes a sophisticated plug-in hybrid powertrain. At its core is a 1.969-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder engine, designated JLH-4G20TDC, producing 254 horsepower and 350 Nm (258.15 lb.-ft.) of torque. This engine employs direct fuel injection and a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) valvetrain. The engine is paired with a dual-motor hybrid system. The front electric motor generates 167 horsepower and 338 Nm (249.3 lb.-ft.) of torque, while the rear electric motor delivers 313 horsepower and 350 Nm (258.15 lb.-ft.). The combined system output reaches a substantial 734 horsepower and 1038 Nm (765.59 lb.-ft.) of torque. The powertrain is managed by a unique 3-speed Direct Hybrid Transmission (DHT) Pro, which intelligently distributes power between the internal combustion engine and the electric motors. The battery pack, utilizing Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (Li-NMC) technology, has a gross capacity of 52.38 kWh, enabling an all-electric range of 220 km (136.7 miles) based on WLTC testing.
