Twisty mountain roads make the body sway, camping gear won’t fit, and on long trips you still worry about range? The all-around shooting brake that road-trip enthusiasts have been longing for officially made its debut in Guiyang on July 23. This “Free World, More Than Travel” media test-drive launch event was livestreamed simultaneously with the global debut of the Lynk & Co 07GT. Karst mountains, the Longli River Bridge, and camping lawns merged into one scene, as local media, camping experts, and family car owners completed a full day of real-world testing, directly addressing the pain points of travel in a mountainous city.
The new car’s official guide price is 157,800-208,800 yuan, and after the limited-time launch incentive, it is 145,800-196,800 yuan. Four configurations go on sale simultaneously, with ten exclusive car-purchase benefits released for a limited time. The entire event was divided into three parts: daytime static appreciation, full-road-condition test drives around the mountains, and an evening interactive global launch. Combining on-site driving experience with the real feedback of multiple test drivers, participants directly experienced the hard power of this shooting brake wagon in adapting to Guizhou’s mountainous terrain and camping lifestyle.
Static mountain-and-wilderness photoshoot: the shooting brake’s looks stand out, and space meets the needs of a full camping trip
In the afternoon, with a refreshing mountain breeze and stretches of green hills as a natural backdrop, the Lynk & Co 07GT’s low-slung, wide-body shooting brake silhouette was highly recognizable. The 4846×1900mm body has a golden 1.28 width-to-height ratio, complemented by frameless doors, split LED daytime running lights, a carbon-fiber rear wing, and yellow sport calipers as a full factory performance package. Pamir Blue and Namibia Yellow color schemes make it easy to snap standout mountain-and-wilderness photos at any moment.
The factory 150kg high-load roof rack can carry roof boxes and bicycles, and the wide-angle electric liftgate makes loading and unloading very convenient. The regular trunk volume is 614L, expanding to 1665L with the rear seats folded, enough for a canopy, tables and chairs, and all camping cookware. The entire lineup comes standard with 6kW external discharge, which on site directly powered barbecue and lighting equipment. An optional factory towing package is available, so short mountain camping trips require no additional modification.
A local camping expert said after experiencing it on site: “Camping gear is complicated, and ordinary sedans and SUVs have limited loading capacity. This shooting brake has a large liftgate opening and ample expandable space, and the external power supply eliminates the need for a portable power station. One car can handle a weekend mountain getaway.”
The cabin balances sporty texture with family comfort. The high trim’s NAPPA one-piece seats come with heating, ventilation, and massage, while the 5.5L onboard refrigerator can store drinks and food. The 2843mm wheelbase brings a spacious rear row, and the mother-and-baby-grade eco-friendly interior has no odor, making long rides less tiring. The three-screen setup works in tandem with standard lidar across the lineup and 27 perception sensors. The EVA intelligent robot supports continuous voice commands, allowing one-touch voice control of navigation, air conditioning, external discharge, and other functions, while the infotainment system runs smoothly without lag.
An automotive media editor commented: “Guiyang has dense curves, and looking down to operate the center screen poses a safety risk. EVA’s voice response is quick, so there’s no need for manual operation the whole time, greatly improving driving safety.”
In-depth test drive around the mountains of Longli: perfectly suited to Guizhou’s winding and steep road conditions
This test-drive route covered continuous hairpin turns, gravel potholes, long uphill sections, and other typical Guizhou road conditions, directly testing the vehicle’s chassis, power, and intelligent driving performance.
The four-wheel-drive model is equipped with the segment-exclusive MRC magnetorheological suspension, derived from Lynk & Co’s nine-time TCR championship track technology, with 1ms millisecond-level real-time damping adjustment. When threading through a series of curves, the suspension provides ample support and effectively suppresses body roll; over potholes and speed bumps, it filters out fine jolts, and even when fully loaded with camping supplies the body remains stable, greatly alleviating motion sickness on long mountain drives.
A seasoned test driver commented after finishing the winding mountain road: “Guiyang’s continuous curves are a huge test for the chassis. Many family cars sway noticeably in corners, but the 07GT’s suspension has outstanding resilience, and even under full load, rear-seat passengers felt no discomfort throughout.”
The entire lineup uses the EM-P super hybrid system. The two-wheel-drive version has a combined power of 300kW and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds; the four-wheel-drive version has a combined power of 390kW and enters the 4-second range for 0-100 km/h. Power delivery is smooth when overtaking on mountain roads or accelerating up long slopes, and the engine intervenes without jerking under depleted-battery conditions. The two-wheel-drive CLTC pure electric range is 200km, with a combined range of 1422km. It can be used purely on electricity for daily commuting, with no charging anxiety for cross-province road trips. It takes 92-octane gasoline, lowering long-distance travel costs, and fast charging from 30% to 80% takes only 14 minutes.
A family car owner present shared: “I often take my family to Qiandongnan for trips. This car saves money on short trips using electricity, and on long trips, with a full tank and full charge, the range is ample. There’s plenty of power reserve for steep slopes and overtaking, making it suitable for both family use and road trips.”
The vehicle is equipped with 360mm large brake discs and four-piston calipers, providing stable braking on long downhill sections, while hill-start assist prevents rollback. Standard lidar across the lineup supports advanced intelligent driving, including lane centering and automatic following, plus automatic parking assist on narrow mountain roads, so even beginners can easily handle Longli’s narrow curves.
A novice test driver said: “Longli’s mountain roads are narrow and the curves are sharp, so passing oncoming cars and parking are stressful. The intelligent driving assistance greatly reduces the difficulty of operation, and full voice control means no distraction throughout, making mountain driving more reassuring.”
A starry night event simultaneously launches globally, with fun interactions heightening the on-site atmosphere
At dusk, the sunset glow over the Longli River valley, the campsite lights, and the bridge lights complemented one another. Media and car owners sat around the lawn to watch the global launch livestream of the Lynk & Co 07GT, unlocking the full configuration and official pricing.
The site featured interactive price and specification guessing games, where correct answers earned camping gear gifts, paired with mountain cold dishes and band performances, breaking away from the rigid presentation format of traditional launch events.
A senior local automotive media representative shared: “In the 150,000-200,000 yuan range, a shooting brake with track-derived chassis, long-range hybrid power, and factory outdoor expansion is very rare. Compared with joint-venture wagons, the MRC suspension and standard lidar across the lineup are core differentiated advantages. Relying on Lynk & Co’s mature manufacturing system, Volvo-derived safety body, and a well-established local after-sales network, long-term vehicle stability is better guaranteed.”
The Lynk & Co 07GT precisely targets two types of consumers: young enthusiasts pursuing sporty looks and driving fun, and family users who prefer suburban camping and value space and safety. It can handle urban commuting, mountain road trips, wilderness camping, and long-distance towing with ease.
