Material Technology and Manufacturing
Linktour’s WQAL® aluminum technology forms the foundation of the vehicle lineup. The system utilizes recycled aluminum across the production chain, currently deployed in the Linktour Alumi model with plans for expansion across all future models.
The all-aluminum monocoque structure reduces vehicle weight by up to 45% compared to traditional steel body construction. This approach integrates with a cell-to-body battery configuration that combines structural integrity with optimized interior space allocation.
Technical Specifications
The L6e and L7e models deliver distinct performance profiles for urban operation:
L6e Range:
- Maximum range: 120 km (WMTC cycle)
- Three trim levels: Alumi, Alumi Plus, Alumi Pro
L7e Range:
- Maximum range: 180 km (WMTC cycle)
- Acceleration: 0-50 km/h in 5.5 seconds (S-mode)
- Peak torque: 110 N.m
- Two trim levels: Alumi Elite, Alumi Elite+
Both categories feature 50:50 weight distribution, hill start assist functionality, and flat wire motor technology. The 1.8-meter wheelbase supports 320 liters of cargo capacity.
Interior and Connectivity Features
The cabin integrates a 10.25-inch display supporting both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Physical controls handle primary vehicle functions, while a 60W Type-C charging port provides device power.
