Is the Lynk & Co 05 Powertrain from Volvo?
2 Answers
Lynk & Co 05 is equipped with Volvo's T5 high-performance engine, delivering 254 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, paired with an 8AT transmission and BorgWarner's fifth-generation all-wheel-drive system. Lynk & Co is a premium brand jointly established by Geely Holding, Geely Auto, and Volvo Cars. The Lynk & Co 05 is a compact SUV under the Lynk & Co lineup. At the rear, the Lynk & Co 05 features a distinct design compared to previous Lynk & Co models, with its energy-slot taillights arranged in two rows and the spoiler lines extending to both ends of the taillights. The Lynk & Co 05 comes with a D-shaped three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and incorporates a high-sensitivity gesture touchpad.
I've done a lot of research and test-driven the Lynk & Co 05 several times. The powertrain indeed has deep connections with Volvo, mainly sharing the CMA platform and that Drive-E engine technology. The acceleration response is quick, power delivery is smooth without jerking when you step on the throttle, and the transmission is smartly matched. The car's overall design is quite sporty, with suspension tuning leaning towards the firm side, offering good handling feel. If you're concerned about brand endorsement, it's jointly developed by Geely and Volvo with shared parts supply, so the quality is reliable, and maintenance is quite convenient. I feel this kind of shared technology can boost overall driving confidence, and the fuel consumption control is reasonable, making daily city driving stress-free.
