The Lynk & Co 02 will be launched on the Chinese
car market on June 28. Price will range from 142.000 to 198.000 yuan. The 02 is
a sporty crossover based on the same platform as the Lynk & Co 01 SUV. The
02 is a bit shorter and a bit lower, but not much.
Size 02: 4448/1890/1528 mm, and wheelbase is 2702 mm.
Size 01: 4512/1857/1673 mm, and wheelbase is 2734 mm.
Engines: 1.5 liter turbocharged 3-pot in two
flavors: 156 and 179 hp, and a 2.0 liter turbocharged four with 189 hp. Gearbox
is a seven-speed DCT.
The output of the 2.0 turbo seems very low. It has
only 10 horses more than the 1.5 turbo, which has a cylinder less. An electric
and a hybrid will be added to the lineup later, but when exactly is still
unclear.
Dash is the same as in the 01 but the materials look
nicer. The instrument panel is digital and the touch screen is 10.2 inches. The
infotainment system is equipped with Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife, and there
is an in-build air purifying system for China’s smoggy cities.
