Is the Lynk & Co 03+ equipped with full-time four-wheel drive or on-demand four-wheel drive?
2 Answers
The Lynk & Co 03+ features on-demand four-wheel drive. It uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The Lynk & Co 03+ is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4657mm in length, 1840mm in width, 1472mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2730mm. It is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 132 kW at 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 265 N·m between 1500 to 4000 rpm.
Regarding the four-wheel drive type of the Lynk & Co 03+, I've thoroughly researched and test-driven it several times, confirming it's a full-time four-wheel drive system, not an on-demand one. Full-time four-wheel drive means the wheels are always being driven, unlike on-demand systems that only engage when slipping. This makes the Lynk & Co 03+'s handling smoother, especially when cornering on mountain roads or slippery surfaces—its grip is incredibly stable, and acceleration is quicker. You can feel the balanced power distribution while driving, with no jerking due to changing road conditions, giving it a more sporty overall feel that suits enthusiasts of spirited driving. Additionally, the four-wheel drive system works well with the engine; fuel consumption is slightly higher, but safety is significantly improved. If you prioritize stability and performance, this design is very practical. Having driven it myself, I feel confident in it.
