Geely-owned Lynk & Co has launched yet
another SUV in China and it’s called the 06. The name might confuse you because
it doesn’t indicate the vehicle’s size. Actually, the 06 is the smallest model
in Lynk & Co’s SUV range, slotting below the 01 SUV and 02 crossover in the
lineup. We’re talking about a compact SUV that’s 4,340-mm long,
1,820-mm wide and 1,625-mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,540 mm.
The 06 SUV is instantly recognizable as a
Lynk & Co model as it adopts the brand’s signature design language. The
split headlights look very familiar, as do the taillights and the C-pillar
treatment.
Despite the obvious similarities with its
larger siblings, the Lynk & Co 06 does look a bit sportier and more
youthful. That’s largely due to its proportions, orange accents on the grille,
roof and wheels, as well as the modern interior featuring a fully digital
instrument panel and large central display. Customers will be able to equip the
06 with options like a parking camera, rear parking sensors, fog lamps,
adaptive cruise control, panoramic sunroof, and more.
The Lynk & Co 06 will offer two
powertrain choices: a petrol engine and a plug-in hybrid system. The first to
launch is a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged unit rated at 177 PS and 265 Nm of torque, hooked to a seven-speed dual-clutch
transmission. Later on, Lynk & Co will also offer a 190 PS plug-in
hybrid powertrain combining the 1.5-liter turbocharged three-pot with a 60 kW
(80 HP) electric motor and a battery pack.
