LYNK & CO 08 ACHIEVES 5-STAR EURO NCAP RATING, REINFORCING SAFETY LEADERSHIP

Gothenburg, September 8, 2025 – Lynk & Co is proud to announce that its Lynk & Co 08 model has achieved a 5-star rating in the 2025 Euro NCAP safety tests. This milestone underscores the brand’s commitment to the highest standards of safety, innovation, and protection for its members across Europe.

Top performance in safety and protection 

The Lynk & Co 08 underwent the latest Euro NCAP assessments, including crash tests, active safety features, and driver assistance systems. The model excelled across categories, with results of 90% for Adult Occupant protection, 87% for Child Occupant protection, 78% for Vulnerable Road Users, and 81% for Safety Assist. 

As a young brand, it is critical that we build credibility with our consumers and potential consumers across Europe. Euro NCAP is the most respected authority in automotive safety, and we are proud that the 08 has achieved the highest rating, demonstrating our commitment to the safety and well-being of everyone on the road. With this result, the 08 now joins our other models – the 01 and 02 – in earning a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, underscoring the strength and consistency of our safety standards. Nicolas López Appelgren, CEO of Lynk & Co International.

Advanced technologies behind the rating 

  • Comprehensive crash protection with frontal, side, pelvis, center, and knee airbags. 
  • Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.
  • Cyclist dooring prevention system and an active bonnet for pedestrian safety. 
  • Lane Keeping Assist and Emergency Lane Keeping with camera and radar support. 
  • Advanced eCall and Multi-Collision Brake system, preventing secondary impacts after a crash. 
  • Driver monitoring for fatigue detection and indirect distraction monitoring. 
  • Speed assistance system combining camera and map recognition. 

These features, combined with a stable passenger compartment, good whiplash protection, and strong child occupant safety performance, contributed to the 5-star result 

A proven safety track record 

The 5-star rating for the 08 follows a strong Euro NCAP performance across the Lynk & Co lineup:
