The differences between the Lynk & Co 03 Standard Edition and Sport Edition are in their lengths: the Lynk & Co 03 Standard Edition is 4639mm long, while the Lynk & Co 03 Sport Edition is 4657mm long. Both the Lynk & Co 03 Standard Edition and Sport Edition are equipped with a 1.5TL3 engine, featuring turbocharged intake, a maximum horsepower of 180ps, a maximum torque of 265nm, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a 4-door, 5-seater sedan body type. Both models have front-wheel drive, MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link independent rear suspension, electric power steering, and a unibody structure.
During my last test drive at the 4S dealership, I specifically compared these two models. The Sport version clearly leans towards a more athletic style, featuring a glossy black grille and sporty body kit on the front fascia, paired with 19-inch darkened alloy wheels that look downright aggressive. In contrast, the Standard version comes with 18-inch wheels and a minimalist exterior design. Inside the cabin, the Sport version's steering wheel is equipped with paddle shifters, and the seats offer exceptional bolstering, providing outstanding lateral support when cornering. The Standard version prioritizes family comfort with softer seats and lacks paddle shifters. Performance-wise, the Sport version delivers fiercer acceleration with quicker gear shifts, especially in Sport mode where the neck-snapping torque makes it perfect for thrill-seeking young drivers. The Standard version offers smoother power delivery and better fuel efficiency, making it more economical for daily commuting. Both share identical trunk space, but the Sport version adds an exhaust sound toggle switch – perfect for those cool evening cruises.
