Lynk & Co 09 engine is from Volvo. The Lynk & Co 09 adopts the same powertrain as the Volvo XC90, specifically the T5/T6 versions of the 2.0T engine. Powertrain options for the Lynk & Co 09: The vehicle offers multiple powertrain configurations, including a 2.0T+8AT 48V mild hybrid with mechanical all-wheel drive; a 2.0T+8AT PHEV plug-in hybrid with electric all-wheel drive; and a 2.0T HEV mild hybrid with electric all-wheel drive. Equipped with Volvo's T8 powertrain, its mechanical performance is exceptionally superior. Engines in other Lynk & Co models: The Lynk & Co 03 is powered by a 1.5T inline three-cylinder turbocharged engine, jointly developed by Geely and Volvo. This engine inherits a series of advanced technologies from the VEP4 2.0T model, featuring an aluminum alloy cylinder block, direct fuel injection, water-cooled turbocharger, dual VVT system, and a long-life timing belt. These technologies not only reduce engine noise and enhance power output but also improve fuel efficiency.
As an owner of a Lynk & Co 09, I can confirm that the engine indeed originates from Volvo's Drive-E series, specifically the 2.0T turbocharged variant. After Geely Group acquired Volvo, they integrated the technology into the Lynk & Co brand, achieving both cost efficiency and performance enhancement. Driving it in urban areas and on highways, I've experienced quick power response and strong acceleration with noticeable push-back force, while maintaining a fuel consumption of around 8.5L/100km, which is quite economical. Maintenance is also convenient since the parts are interchangeable with Volvo models—a visit to the 4S shop costs just a few hundred yuan. This engine inherits Volvo's reliability; after driving over 20,000 kilometers, I've encountered no major issues. The airbags and electronic stability system respond promptly, adding to my peace of mind while driving.
