Lynk & Co is a domestic car brand. The models under Lynk & Co include: Lynk & Co 01, Lynk & Co 02, Lynk & Co 03, Lynk & Co 05, Lynk & Co 06, etc. Taking the 2021 Lynk & Co 01 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4549mm, width 1860mm, height 1689mm, wheelbase of 2734mm, minimum ground clearance of 201mm, and a body weight of 1710kg. The 2021 Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 218ps, maximum torque of 325nm, maximum power of 160kw, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Recently test drove the Lynk & Co 03 and researched the brand background. Lynk & Co is indeed a Chinese brand under Geely Group, headquartered in Ningbo's Hangzhou Bay. However, its design and R&D have strong international flair, with a design center in Gothenburg, Sweden, and shares Volvo's CMA platform for chassis. Last year at the Chengdu factory, I saw Europe-bound Lynk & Co 01 models with craftsmanship fully meeting EU standards. Their website highlights Volvo's safety DNA in all models, especially the active braking system - road tests show its sensitivity nearly matches the XC40's. It's remarkable for a Chinese brand to achieve global simultaneous launches.
