2 Answers
Lynk & Co is a joint venture brand, but it is a domestic car. Additional information: Lynk & Co: LYNK&CO (Chinese name: Lingke) is an automotive brand jointly established by Geely Holding Group, Geely Auto Group, and Volvo Cars. Based on the CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform jointly developed by Volvo Cars and Geely Auto Group, with Volvo Cars taking the lead, the Lynk & Co 01 officially entered the Chinese market and subsequently expanded to European and American markets. Lynk & Co 01: The brand offers both sedan and SUV models. The Lynk & Co 01 is a compact SUV equipped with two engine options: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.
The other day, I was chatting with friends about Lynk & Co. It's actually a joint venture car brand, jointly created by China's Geely Auto and Sweden's Volvo. When it debuted in 2016, I noticed it combined the strengths of both Chinese and foreign elements: the design has a touch of Nordic minimalism, but production and R&D are mainly based in China. I've personally driven the Lynk & Co 01—it offers stable handling, and the powertrain utilizes Volvo's technology, making it more comfortable to drive than purely domestic cars. Regular maintenance isn't expensive, and parts are easy to find. As a car enthusiast, I think it represents the trend of joint ventures, catering to the fashion needs of younger groups while maintaining reliable performance. However, the price is mid-range to slightly premium, and some car enthusiasts complain about slightly higher fuel consumption. Overall, it's worth recommending for a test drive.
