2 Answers
The engine of the Lynk & Co 03 is from Volvo. The Lynk & Co 03 is built on the CMA architecture jointly developed by Volvo and Geely. It is equipped with three types of engines: a low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, a high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 245 Nm, featuring direct fuel injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The high-power version 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 132 kW and a maximum torque of 265 Nm, also featuring direct fuel injection technology and an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 140 kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm, equipped with direct fuel injection technology and using an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
I've been studying cars for almost a decade, and the engine in the Lynk & Co 03 is indeed based on Volvo technology. It uses Volvo's Drive-E series engines, ranging from the 1.5T to the 2.0T. Last year, I drove both the Lynk & Co 03+ and the Volvo S60, and I felt that their engine output characteristics were remarkably similar, with a strong sense of acceleration from the start. However, Lynk & Co engineers have adjusted the turbo and transmission matching to make the 03 more suitable for urban driving conditions. This kind of technology sharing is quite smart, ensuring quality while reducing costs. Now I commute daily in my 03, and the power is more than sufficient for highway overtaking, with fuel consumption significantly lower than my friend's old XC60.
