Lynk & Co is from China. It is a new-generation premium brand jointly established by 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 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. 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.

To be honest, I checked Lynk & Co's background before the car. It's a Chinese brand under Geely. When launched, it was positioned as a tech pioneer, and its car-sharing features were very appealing to young people. The quality of Chinese manufacturing is improving. Lynk & Co is produced in China but has an international design, inheriting Volvo's safety advantages. I find my Lynk & Co very comfortable for commuting, with modern interiors and good fuel efficiency.

In my memory, the automotive world has changed so much. Decades ago, Chinese cars were still crude, but now brands like Lynk & Co have risen, proving China's capabilities—it is entirely born in China, a product of the Group. After Geely acquired Volvo, technology improved, and Lynk & Co benefited from this, being manufactured locally in China. When I drove my friend's Lynk & Co, it felt very stable, with high safety features and an affordable price, reflecting the leap in the automotive industry. Family users love to choose it because of its practicality.

As a Lynk & Co owner, I take pride in choosing this brand. It originated in China and was founded by . During my car purchase research, I found that while Geely dominates the Chinese market, Lynk & Co specifically targets urban demographics. In actual driving, it demonstrates good reliability with safety standards inherited from Volvo. Chinese automotive reputation is rising, featuring refined interiors and spacious cabins. Driving it for daily commutes combines fashion with peace of mind, plus maintenance is straightforward.
