According to official data, the Lynk & Co 01 2.0T model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the greater the force pushing the vehicle, resulting naturally in faster acceleration. The BMW X2 has a maximum torque of 220 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds. The Lynk & Co 01 has a torque of 325 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for transferring power, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with a manual-automatic transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The greater the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The BMW X2 has a power-to-weight ratio of 90 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds. The Lynk & Co 01 has a power-to-weight ratio of 127 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds.
I've driven the Lynk & Co 01 gasoline version a few times, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration is about 7.9 seconds. Honestly, this speed is quite satisfying among SUVs. It uses a 2.0T engine with 197 horsepower, delivering strong power output. Combined with good low-end torque characteristics, you can feel continuous power when stepping on the throttle, especially during initial acceleration and mid-range acceleration. However, the actual experience is greatly affected by weather and road conditions. For example, it might be slightly slower on wet roads after rain. I think this is sufficient for daily overtaking, making city driving quite effortless, and lane changing on highways is also stress-free. Regular engine maintenance can help maintain stable acceleration.
As an ordinary driver of this car, I feel the Lynk & Co 01's acceleration is quite impressive, with a 0-100 km/h time of around 8 seconds. During the test drive, even a light press on the accelerator delivered a strong push-back feeling, especially in sport mode where it's even more aggressive. At traffic lights, it can quickly surge forward without any hesitation. The transmission responds very sensitively with no noticeable lag, which is a big help in congested traffic. Despite the quick acceleration, the car remains stable and doesn't feel floaty on curves. I recommend maintaining a steady driving habit to avoid damaging the car with sudden acceleration, and it also helps save fuel.
The Lynk & Co 01 comes in gasoline and plug-in hybrid versions. I've driven both. The gasoline version accelerates in about 7.9 seconds, while the plug-in hybrid is slightly faster at around 7.3 seconds, thanks to the additional electric motor assistance. When choosing a car, it depends on your habits. For city commuting, the gasoline version is sufficient, while for longer trips, the plug-in hybrid offers a smoother ride.
