2 Answers
The engine equipped in the Lynk & Co 02 varies depending on the model: 1. The manual Pure Lite, Jin Plus, Yao Plus, DCT Jin Champion Edition, front-wheel-drive Jin Pro, DCT Yao Champion Edition, and front-wheel-drive Yao Pro are equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine; 2. The front-wheel-drive Jin Champion Edition, automatic Yao Champion Edition, and all-wheel-drive Jin Pro are equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine. Taking the 2021 Lynk & Co 02 Pure Lite as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4448mm, width 1890mm, height 1528mm, and a wheelbase of 2702mm.
I find the Lynk & Co 02 quite interesting, as it mainly offers two engine options. One is a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of around 180, which is very economical and fuel-efficient to drive. It's super practical for city driving, with a fuel consumption of approximately 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, making it especially suitable for young commuters like me. The other option is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with nearly 190 horsepower, offering stronger acceleration and a more stable handling feel during high-speed driving. The power delivery is linear and not abrupt. These engines utilize technology jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, with good noise control and reliability. Personally, I've driven the 1.5T version and found it quite smooth, not as shaky as older three-cylinder engines. Overall, it outperforms some competitors like the Volkswagen Golf in terms of performance, offers diverse choices, and even allows for hybrid system options to save energy.
