2 Answers
The differences between Lynk & Co 03 and 03 are: 1. Different engines: Lynk & Co 03 is equipped with a 1.5T engine; 03 is equipped with a high-power version of the 2.0T turbocharged engine. 2. Different transmissions: Lynk & Co 03 is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed manual-automatic transmission; 03 is matched with an 8-speed manual-automatic transmission. 3. Different power outputs: Lynk & Co 03 has a maximum power of 132 kW; 03 has a maximum power of 187 kW. 4. Different torque outputs: Lynk & Co 03 has a maximum torque of 265 Nm; 03 has a maximum torque of 350 Nm.
The Lynk & Co 03 and 03+ are primarily differentiated by their powertrains and driving experiences. The standard 03 features a 2.0T engine with 190 horsepower, delivering smooth but not overly aggressive acceleration, making it ideal for daily commutes with lower fuel consumption. The 03+ upgrades to 254 horsepower, achieving 0-100km/h in just 5.9 seconds, offering a much more exhilarating drive with firmer suspension tuning for stable cornering and a sportier exhaust note. It also offers an optional all-wheel-drive system for added confidence in rain, snow, or mountain roads. While fuel consumption is higher, the performance boost justifies the extra cost for me. The choice depends on whether you prefer spirited driving or relaxed commuting. I recommend test-driving both—the differences are quite noticeable.
