What are the differences between the Lynk & Co 03 and Lynk & Co 02?
2 Answers
The design of the Lynk & Co 02 and Lynk & Co 03 PHEV models is basically consistent with their gasoline versions. The main differences are as follows: 1. The most obvious difference is that the plug-in hybrid models have an additional charging port on the left fender. 2. The Lynk & Co 03 starts lightly and makes overtaking more relaxed and effortless, with smooth gear shifting. The chassis tuning has a distinct sporty feel, yet it doesn't provide a harsh support sensation—the chassis is sophisticated and quite comfortable. 3. The Lynk & Co 02, on the other hand, is positioned as a compact SUV with a crossover style. Its 2.0T engine delivers ample power, and the throttle tuning is relatively steady and linear, ensuring balanced power output. The matched wet dual-clutch transmission performs excellently in terms of smoothness, shifting speed, and shifting logic.
I was deeply impressed by test-driving these two cars. The Lynk & Co 03 has a standard sedan shape, with a low chassis and seating position, making it exceptionally stable to drive. The Lynk & Co 02 feels more like a raised station wagon, unafraid of bumps and potholes. The space difference is quite noticeable: the 03's rear seats offer ample legroom to easily cross your legs, and the trunk can fit a stroller without issue. The 02 provides generous headroom in the back but is slightly shorter in length, though its larger trunk opening makes loading and unloading more convenient. Performance-wise, the 03 offers a high-performance version with 254 horsepower, delivering fierce acceleration and strong push-back sensation. The 02 is lighter and more agile to drive, with particularly nimble steering. Both interiors are similarly premium in quality, but the 03's front bucket seats offer better support, while the 02's rear floor is flatter.
