Lynk & Co 05 was released on May 5, 2020. Here is some relevant information about the Lynk & Co 05: 1. Interior: The new car adopts a brand-new design language, differing from the multi-arc rounded-corner interior design of existing products. The Lynk & Co 05 extensively employs straight lines and diamond-shaped lines, creating a good sense of layering. However, at first glance, there is a noticeable sense of patchwork, especially as the large central touchscreen appears somewhat too "isolated." In terms of materials, the new car uses a lot of suede and red stitching. 2. Powertrain: The new car will be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine (model JLH-3G15TD) and a 2.0T turbocharged engine (model JLH-4G20TD), with maximum power outputs of 180 horsepower and 190 horsepower, respectively. Additionally, the car is expected to feature a high-power 2.0TD engine from Volvo's Drive-E series in the future, with a maximum power of 254 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 N·m. In terms of transmission, it will be paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, and a four-wheel-drive version will also be available.

I remember very clearly that the Lynk & Co 05 started selling in May 2020. At that time, this coupe SUV attracted many enthusiasts who eagerly awaited its launch because it shared a technology platform with Volvo and was equipped with a Drive-E 2.0T engine. Its appearance was indeed eye-catching, with the signature Aurora Borealis daytime running lights paired with a fastback design—the real car looked even better than in photos. The interior materials were genuinely generous for its price range, with suede and red stitching giving it a particularly sporty vibe. If you're into personalization, the Halo version with active noise cancellation and Harman Kardon audio is worth considering. Nowadays, if you visit a 4S store, they usually have demo cars available for test drives.

At the end of last year, I researched the iteration timeline of the Lynk & Co 05 while helping a relative with car shopping. This model made its first public debut in December 2019, followed by a wave of media test drive promotions in early 2020. The official launch was on May 5th that year, featuring a rather creative online release event. Honestly, its handling stands out among 200,000-yuan-class SUVs, with the CMA architecture's chassis tuning being exceptionally solid. The main drawback is the compromised rear seat space due to the fastback design – someone 1.8m tall sitting upright might brush their hair against the roof. Currently, there are still small batches of 2021 inventory models being cleared out, priced 20,000-30,000 yuan cheaper than the new version.

Checked the vehicle certification filing records, the Lynk & Co 05's MIIT declaration time was March 2020, with mass production batches rolling off the line in mid-April of the same year. The first batch of owners received their vehicles in early June, mainly concentrated in the Jin Pro and Yao Halo configurations. Personally, I find its intelligent features quite interesting, such as the fingerprint-recognition storage box and center console gesture control. However, it's worth noting that the older infotainment system occasionally lags, and it's only with this year's newly upgraded OS N system that it has become much smoother. Recently, I also saw new declaration images for the hybrid version on the MIIT website, suggesting a plug-in hybrid version might be released in the second half of the year.

Earlier this year, I had a conversation with a salesperson while getting maintenance done at a Lynk & Co 4S store. Currently, the store is mainly promoting the 2023 05+ model, but there's still ample inventory of the standard 05. The earliest batch of vehicles now has discounts of around 25,000 yuan, and the financial plans are quite attractive, offering 3 years of interest-free payments. A special reminder for those ready to make a purchase: remember to check the reflective vest and tire repair fluid in the onboard tool kit, as some customers last year reported missing items. If resale value is a consideration, it's advisable to opt for gray or black, as these colors are more popular in the used car market.

What is the reason why the car fan is still running after parking and turning off the engine?

The reason why the car fan is still running after parking and turning off the engine is to cool down the engine. When the temperature of the coolant is too high after parking, the vehicle's computer will automatically calculate the fan's speed and duration. The higher the temperature, the longer the fan will run, which serves as protection for the engine. The working principle of the car cooling fan is: utilizing the principle of electromagnetic induction, using Hall sensing components as synchronous detection devices to control a set of circuits, switching the power-on sequence of the windings to generate a rotating magnetic field, thereby achieving electronic commutation in a mechatronic system. The cooling fan is installed between the engine and the radiator. When the fan blades rotate driven by the engine, they generate high-speed airflow, which carries away the heat from the coolant in the radiator, thus achieving the purpose of cooling the engine.

What does it mean when the car's off light is on?

The car's off light being on indicates that the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) has been turned off or that there is a malfunction in the ESP system. The main warning lights in a car include: 1. A triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle is the general fault indicator light. 2. A yellow symbol with parentheses, a horizontal line at the bottom, not fully enclosed at the top, and an exclamation mark inside is the tire pressure monitoring warning light. Other warning lights in a car include: 1. A yellow light bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator light. If this light is on, it indicates a fault with an exterior light bulb. 2. A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the transmission fault indicator light, visible in cars equipped with multitronic transmissions. When this light is on, it indicates an abnormality or fault in the transmission. 3. A yellow sector with an exclamation mark is the windshield wiper fault indicator light. When this light is on, it indicates a fault in the wiper system. 4. A red steering wheel with an exclamation mark on the right is the steering system fault indicator light. If this light is on, it may indicate that the electric/mechanical steering mechanism is not working or there is a fault with the steering column lock, in which case the car should not be driven further.

What Type of Air to Use for Windshield Fog?

For windshield fog, both cold and warm air have their own advantages and disadvantages. Below are some methods for defogging: Method 1: If you notice fog forming on your car windows, don't panic. You can open both side windows slightly, about the width of a fist. This allows air to circulate inside the car, blowing away the moisture and quickly dispersing the fog. Method 2: Turn on the car's fan and air conditioning. When cold air blows onto the glass, the fog will quickly dissipate. This happens because the cold air prevents moisture from condensing on the glass, effectively removing the fog. Method 3: Warm air can also help remove fog. However, if the glass is already fogged up while driving, turning on the warm air may worsen the fogging. Therefore, avoid using warm air to defog while driving. Instead, use warm air to dry the glass before driving. After a few minutes, the warm air will dry the moisture inside the car, and the fog will disappear. Note that the rear and side windows heat up more slowly, so it may take longer to completely remove the fog. Method 4: Use a preventive method like applying anti-fog spray. Spray a small amount of anti-fog agent onto the car windows and wipe it clean. This removes dirt and stains while forming a thin, transparent protective film on the glass. This film effectively prevents moisture from condensing and forming fog, making it especially useful in cold winters.

What does the AC button on a car mean?

The AC button on a car refers to the air conditioning cooling switch. Pressing the AC button activates the air conditioning to adjust the temperature according to the set level, during which the air conditioning compressor starts, increasing the engine load. The functions of the air conditioning system include: 1. Regulating the temperature, humidity, airflow, and cleanliness of the air inside the vehicle; 2. Filtering the air inside the car, with a sterilizing effect; 3. Clearing fog from the windows. Precautions for using car air conditioning: 1. Turn off the AC during startup and rapid acceleration; 2. Avoid setting the air conditioning temperature too low—a difference of 5 to 6 degrees between the inside and outside temperature is sufficient; 3. Based on the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, when controlling the air vents, aim them upward when cooling and downward when heating.
