Which country is Lynk & Co from?
3 Answers
Lynk & Co is from China. It is a new-generation premium brand jointly established by Geely Holding Group, Geely Auto Group, and Volvo Cars, integrating European technology, European design, global manufacturing, and global sales. It is built on the CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform, jointly developed by Volvo Cars and Geely Auto with Volvo Cars taking the lead. Lynk & Co's vehicle lineup includes models such as the Lynk & Co 01, Lynk & Co 02, Lynk & Co 03, Lynk & Co 05, and Lynk & Co 06. Taking the Lynk & Co 03 as an example, it is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4,639 mm in length, 1,840 mm in width, and 1,472 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2,730 mm, and a curb weight of 1,395 kg. This model is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've been researching automotive brand histories recently, and Lynk & Co is indeed a Chinese brand. It was launched in 2016 as a premium sub-brand by Geely Group, a major Chinese automaker headquartered in Zhejiang. While Lynk & Co incorporates international design elements—such as having a design center in Sweden and sharing technology with Volvo (which Geely previously acquired)—the overall production and core R&D are completed domestically in China. I saw Lynk & Co models at a friend's auto show and felt they target the youth market with strong shared features and a tech-savvy appeal. This reflects the rapid rise of China's auto industry, which no longer relies on imitation but on innovation and global expansion to make its mark worldwide. When considering a car change myself, I've also been looking at Lynk & Co due to its high cost-performance ratio, excellent safety standards, and suitability for urban commuting. Chinese brands are now gaining competitiveness, and Lynk & Co is a prime example of this.
From a global automotive market perspective, Lynk & Co originates from China. Geely is its parent company, a domestic Chinese enterprise, and this brand was born to challenge the monopoly of traditional luxury vehicles. In my analysis of automotive trends, I've observed that Lynk & Co leverages Geely's resources while incorporating Nordic safety technology (derived from Volvo), yet all core manufacturing is completed in Chinese factories. The brand has expanded to Europe and North America with youthful designs, but maintains pure Chinese heritage. China's automotive industry has evolved from contract manufacturing to innovation, with Lynk & Co exemplifying this transformation—efficient, strong in cost control, and user experience focused. I frequently discuss such brand narratives as they can inspire other emerging enterprises.
