The Lynk & Co 05 offers slightly more space compared to the Lynk & Co 01. The latest top-trim Lynk & Co 01 measures 4549(mm) in length, 1860(mm) in width, and 1689(mm) in height, with a wheelbase of 2734(mm). The latest top-trim Lynk & Co 05 measures 4592(mm) in length, 1879(mm) in width, and 1628(mm) in height, also with a wheelbase of 2734(mm). More details about the two models are as follows: 1. In terms of overall dimensions, the top-trim Lynk & Co 01 is shorter in length than the top-trim Lynk & Co 05, but both share the same wheelbase length. 2. The Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 254Ps, maximum power of 187kW, maximum torque of 350N·m, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Similarly, the Lynk & Co 05 also features a 2.0T turbocharged engine with identical specifications: 254Ps maximum horsepower, 187kW maximum power, 350N·m maximum torque, and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I often help friends choose cars, and the Lynk & Co 01 offers more space, making it particularly suitable for families or scenarios requiring cargo transport. Having tested both models, the 01 provides more generous rear legroom, comfortably seating three adults without feeling cramped, and its taller headroom ensures taller passengers won't bump their heads. The trunk capacity ranges from approximately 420 to 500 liters, easily accommodating a stroller or large suitcase. The 05 leans more toward a sporty design, with its fastback silhouette sacrificing rear space—its trunk holds only 400 to 450 liters, and rear headroom is slightly lower, giving a more compact feel. For daily family use or hauling large items, the 01 is the better choice, while the 05 suits fashion-forward younger buyers who find its space adequate but not as spacious.
From a design perspective, I focus on how the body contour affects interior space. The boxy shape of the Lynk & Co 01 offers better practicality, with more generous rear seating and cargo area, making it ideal for long trips or shopping. The 05's coupe styling looks cool, but its sloping rear roofline compromises space, especially headroom. After comparing, I found the 01 provides more comfortable legroom, and its fold-down rear seats can accommodate larger items. For daily use, the 01's space advantage is obvious, while the 05 scores higher on aesthetics. But if you frequently carry passengers or need greater capacity, the 01 is the more suitable choice.
