The Lynk & Co 01 does not use a Volvo engine, but it incorporates Volvo's technology. The Lynk & Co 01 is a compact SUV under the Lynk & Co brand, with dimensions of 4549mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1689mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2734mm. Here are the relevant details: Detail 1: The Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with two types of engines, a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Detail 2: The low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 160kW, reaching its peak power at 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 325 Nm, with the torque peaking between 1800 to 4500 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 01 for quite some time, and the engine indeed has a close relationship with Volvo. After the Geely Group acquired Volvo, the two collaborated to develop the Drive-E platform, and the 1.5T and 2.0T turbocharged engines used in the Lynk & Co 01 come from this technology. Volvo provided the foundation, while the tuning is more sporty, delivering quick acceleration and fuel efficiency, with no lack of power during long-distance drives. In daily driving, the engine noise is well-controlled, making city driving quiet and unobtrusive, with high environmental emission standards easily meeting requirements like China VI. Maintenance is also considerate, with easily accessible parts that won't burn a hole in your wallet. With Volvo's reliability genes, even novice owners can feel at ease, and the car's resale value is quite good, making it worth a test drive.
As a car owner, my Lynk & Co 01's engine is derived from Volvo's Drive-E series, which is directly adopted. Before purchasing, I researched and found that the cooperation between Geely and Volvo isn't just about branding—they share technical details. The engine delivers ample horsepower, quick response, stable high-speed performance, and low fuel consumption. In terms of driving experience, the engine has minimal vibration, smooth ignition, and no jerking in city traffic jams. Maintenance-wise, parts are cost-effective thanks to Volvo's supply chain support. After several months of driving, there have been no issues, and the safety performance is excellent, handling rain and snow uphill with ease. I chose this SUV for its reliability, cost-effectiveness, and strong power for weekend family trips—it never holds me back on the road.
