Lynk & Co is produced in China. It is an automotive brand jointly established by Geely and Volvo in 2016. The brand is built upon the CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform, which was co-developed by Volvo Cars and Geely Auto with Volvo Cars taking the lead. Here are introductions to some Lynk & Co models: 1. Lynk & Co 01: Equipped with the VEP4-2.0T turbocharged engine from the Drive-E series, delivering a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 300N·m. 2.

As a car enthusiast, I've always found Lynk & Co quite interesting. It's a joint venture brand created by two industry giants: China's Geely Holding and Sweden's Volvo. After Geely acquired Volvo in 2010, they launched Lynk & Co a few years later, positioning it as a youthful, globally-oriented fashionable car series. The production bases are mainly in Taizhou and Ningbo, Zhejiang, where advanced factories manufacture vehicles with excellent quality control, incorporating Volvo's safety technology and Geely's manufacturing experience. The car designs are quite trendy - models like the 01 SUV with their streamlined exteriors really catch the eye. They deliver powerful performance while remaining fuel-efficient. I've visited their booth at auto shows several times, always packed with crowds, which shows the brand's popularity. This collaboration represents a major leap forward for Chinese automobiles, with products now sold overseas, bringing pride to domestic automakers. I've test-driven a Lynk & Co once - it had responsive steering and comfortable interiors, perfect for urban commuting. Geely really played this smart.
