Does Lynk & Co have a four-cylinder engine?

Lynk & Co does have four-cylinder engines. Models such as the Lynk & Co 01, Lynk & Co 02, and Lynk & Co 03 are all equipped with four-cylinder engines. Taking the Lynk & Co 03 as an example, it is powered by a 2.0L inline turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 140 kW, reaching its peak power at 4,700 RPM. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Lynk & Co 03 is a compact car with the following dimensions: length of 4,657 mm, width of 1,840 mm, height of 1,472 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,730 mm. Its curb weight is 1,570 kg. The front suspension features a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
As a hot hatch enthusiast, I've paid special attention to Lynk & Co's powertrain configurations. Indeed, Lynk & Co offers four-cylinder engines. For example, the Lynk & Co 03 is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine model B4204L43, which shares technology with Volvo's T4 engine. The combination of 190 horsepower paired with an Aisin 6AT transmission delivers quite a fun driving experience. The performance-oriented 03+ variant pushes it further to 254 horsepower, and its quad exhaust sound is truly exhilarating. In terms of new energy vehicles, the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P hybrid also uses a 1.5T four-cylinder engine as a range extender, coupled with three electric motors to unleash over 400 horsepower. However, it's worth noting that the Lynk & Co 06 Remix's 1.5T engine is a three-cylinder unit, so you'll need to check the specifications carefully when purchasing. There are significant differences in engines across different models.
Having driven the Lynk & Co 01 AWD version with the Drive-E 2.0T four-cylinder engine for over two years, I find the power perfectly adequate for daily driving. Most of Lynk & Co's current main models use four-cylinder engines, like the new Lynk & Co 09 which directly adopts a high-power 2.0T + 48V mild hybrid system. However, some entry-level models such as the Lynk & Co 06 still use a 1.5T three-cylinder engine, but with the addition of a BSG motor, the vibration control is quite good. I recommend you test drive the four-cylinder versions of the 03 or 01 during your trial, especially experiencing the turbo kick-in and the push-back feeling in sport mode with paddle shifters, which is noticeably more solid than the three-cylinder engine experience.
