Is Lynk & Co a Domestic Car?
2 Answers
Lynk & Co is a domestic car brand, and its models include: Lynk & Co 03, Lynk & Co 05, Lynk & Co 01, Lynk & Co 02, Lynk & Co 06, etc. Taking the Lynk & Co 03 as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4639mm, width 1840mm, height 1472mm, and a wheelbase of 2730mm, with a curb weight of 1395kg. The Lynk & Co 03 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 115kW, a maximum power speed of 5000rpm, a maximum torque of 245Nm, and a maximum torque speed ranging from 1450 to 4000rpm.
I find the Lynk & Co brand particularly interesting - it's like the rising star among domestic Chinese car brands. According to my research, Lynk & Co was jointly established by Geely Group and Volvo, with its headquarters in Taizhou, Zhejiang. Although the design team is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, all production facilities are located within China, such as the factories in Zhangjiakou and Yuyao that manufacture Lynk & Co vehicles. Popular models like the Lynk & Co 01 and 03 seen on roads are 100% made in China. However, with its joint venture background, it has incorporated Volvo's safety technologies, resulting in exceptionally solid chassis tuning. When I test drove the Lynk & Co 05 last time, I clearly felt much more refined handling compared to traditional domestic Chinese cars.
