Automóvil Panamericano is one of Mexico’s most influential automotive media and ranks among the world’s best-selling Spanish-language car magazines. For years, the publication has organized its annual “Best Cars of the Year” awards, crowning the top models from hundreds of contenders. This award has become a major event in the Latin American automotive industry and remains a key benchmark for the region’s market to this day.

At the 2026 Annual Auto Awards, the “SUV HÍBRIDO PREMIUM” (Premium Hybrid SUV) category stands as one of the core awards. As a key benchmark in the premium new energy and luxury automotive market, this category focuses on practicality, reliability, and customer satisfaction in the local Mexican market. It aims to recognize models that strike an excellent balance between design, innovation, performance, quality, and value.

The awards are based on a comprehensive, multi-dimensional set of criteria spanning ten core areas.

This rigorous framework ensures a holistic evaluation of each model’s overall strength.

Positioned as a premium advanced hybrid SUV, Lynk & Co 08 excels in four key areas: range and handling, design, luxury experience and safety. Its comprehensive capabilities align perfectly with the Mexican market’s demand for premium plug-in hybrids, earning it the award over numerous other nominees.
