When will the Lynk & Co 05 be released?

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.
