How is the rear seating space of the Lynk & Co 05?

The rear seating space of the Lynk & Co 05 is affected by its COUPE design, which reduces headroom. However, engineers have recessed the roof to optimize space, providing three fingers of headroom and two fists of legroom, meeting the needs of general family use. 1. Exterior: The dimensions of the new car are 4592*1879*1628mm, with the same wheelbase as the 01 model at 2734mm. The most distinctive feature of the side profile is the coupe-style design, while the shark gill decorations and extended lines are very similar to those of the 01. The Lynk & Co 05 adopts a different design from previous models, featuring a new "energy groove" taillight arrangement in two vertical rows, with the spoiler lines extending to both ends of the taillights. 2. Powertrain: The new car will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine (model JLH-3G15TD) and a 2.0T turbocharged engine (model JLH-4G20TD), with maximum power outputs of 180 horsepower and 190 horsepower, respectively. Additionally, the car is expected to offer a high-power 2.0TD engine from Volvo's Drive-E series in the future, delivering a maximum power of 254 horsepower and peak torque of 350 N·m. The transmission is paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, and a four-wheel-drive version will also be available.
I have been driving the Lynk & Co 05 for over half a year, and I find the rear space quite practical and generally sufficient. When commuting with colleagues, passengers around 170cm tall have more than a fist's worth of legroom left in the back, and their knees don’t touch the front seats. The 2714mm wheelbase is well-designed, helping to optimize legroom. However, due to the sloping roofline, taller friends (e.g., over 180cm) might find the headroom a bit tight in the back, making it easy to bump their heads. The middle seat’s hump isn’t too high, so squeezing in three people isn’t too uncomfortable. Additionally, the air vents are well-placed, keeping the rear from feeling stuffy in summer. The trunk space, combined with the rear seats, handles luggage or weekend shopping without issues, fitting well with the lifestyle of young people or small families. Overall, while it’s not as spacious as a full-size SUV, within this compact segment, it offers great value for money and is highly recommended.
As the head of the household, I often drive my children and family in the Lynk & Co 05. The rear seat space is completely sufficient for us. The child safety seat is easy to install, with ample room for movement both in front and behind. The legroom is generously designed, allowing adults to sit comfortably without feeling cramped at the knees. Although the roof slopes slightly, the headroom remains comfortable and not too tight. The rear doors open wide, making it easy for children to get in and out. The trunk capacity is large, and with the rear folding seats, it's practical for strollers or bulky items. Compared to similar models like the Honda CR-V, it's slightly smaller but more affordable. During family outings, the rear seats are equipped with USB charging ports, avoiding the awkwardness of a dead phone. Overall, there are no complaints in daily life scenarios, and the comfort is quite good.
