Geely and Volvo’s joint Lynk & Co brand on Sept. 5 launched its first all-electric model featuring an advanced in-car operating system, in a move to expand its product portfolio and enter a segment where rivals from Tesla to China’s Xiaomi have performed strongly. Priced between RMB 196,800 and RMB 288,800 ($27,670-$40,605) for a limited time until the end of October, the Z10 boasts an infotainment system powered by AMD’s laptop graphic chips, which the automaker said has the highest compute power on the market. This allows vehicle owners to play triple-A high-definition video games such as Black Myth: Wukong, TechNode reported, as well as access a photorealistic, immersive three-dimensional map for real-time navigation. Lynk & Co reported sales of 169,800 units from January to August, up 44% from a year earlier, with more than 74% of sales in August being plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
