Review summary:
Pros:
- The Lynk & Co 08 features a modern, distinctive European-inspired exterior design, complemented by a feature-rich and convenient interior.
- This is the first Chinese car in Vietnam where hybrid technology is applied more practically than in competing models. It can operate in EV mode, parallel hybrid, series hybrid, or as a pure gasoline engine vehicle.

- It offers an engaging driving experience, creating a synergy between the driver and the car.
Cons:
- While offering many features and conveniences, they are difficult to use and require time to learn.
- The operating system is not very user-friendly.
- It has few physical buttons.
- The price is high within its segment.
