Lynk & Co 03 engine is a Volvo engine, and the Lynk & Co 03 is built based on the CMA architecture jointly developed by Geely and Volvo. More details about the Lynk & Co 03 engine are as follows: 1. When the Lynk & Co 03 was launched, it came with three engine options: the first being a low-power version of the 1.5L turbocharged engine, the second a high-power version of the 1.5L turbocharged engine, and the last a 2.0L turbocharged engine. 2. The maximum power outputs of these three engines are 115kw, 132kw, and 140kw respectively, showing a significant difference in power. However, the common feature of these engines is that they all incorporate direct fuel injection technology and use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks. As for the transmission, the 1.5L turbocharged engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0L engine is matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
As a deep enthusiast of automotive technology, I know that the Lynk & Co 03's engine is indeed based on Volvo's design and technology. After Geely Holding acquired Volvo in 2010, the two parties jointly developed shared platforms and engines, from which the Lynk & Co brand has benefited. Common engine models of the Lynk & Co 03, such as the Drive-E series B4 engine, are identical to those in Volvo models in terms of internal structure, turbocharging system, and fuel management, delivering robust power and efficient emissions. In my research, I found that this stems from the overall integration of the CMA chassis architecture, allowing the Lynk & Co 03 to achieve reliability and performance close to that of luxury vehicles. For friends looking to buy a car, this is great news because you can enjoy similar technology and driving experience without paying Volvo's premium price. However, it's worth noting that there might be some optimized differences in fine-tuning, such as more fuel-efficient settings tailored for the Chinese market.
