Lynk & Co is a Chinese-Swedish automobile brand owned by Geely Automobile Holdings. Founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2016, the focus of the brand is on internet connectivity and innovative purchasing models, and targets a young professional demographic.[1]
Models[]
Lynk & Co has announced three models intended for production, all based on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform developed by CEVT and used also by Volvo. The first product announced by Lynk & Co was the crossover 01, the production version first shown at the 2017 Auto Shanghai show.[2] Production of the 01 began first in China in 2017.[3][4] A concept of the second model, the 03 sedan, was first shown along with the production 01 in Shanghai.[2][5] The third model, also based on the platform shared with the Volvo XC40, is the 02. Smaller than the 01, it is also a crossover.[6][4]
Current models are as follows:
- Lynk & Co 01 (2017–present), a compact SUV
- Lynk & Co 02 (2018–present), a compact hatchback and a compact crossover SUV
- Lynk & Co 03 (2018–present), a compact sedan
- Lynk & Co 04 (2020–present), an electric scooter launched with the 06, in conjunction with Ninebot[7]
- Lynk & Co 05 (2019–present), a compact Coupe SUV based on the 01
- Lynk & Co 06 (2020–present), a subcompact SUV
- (2021–present), a compact 7-seater SUV[8]
- Lynk & Co 09 (2021–present), a mid-size SUV[9]
Lynk & Co had originally planned to launch the Lynk & Co 04 as a compact hatchback[10] — however by 2020 it was cancelled and the nameplate was devoted to an electric scooter instead.
Sales[]
Lynk & Co uses a direct-to-consumer sales model in most markets, in contrast to the traditional dealership model, and influenced by Tesla which has had success doing direct sales.[11] Each car is ordered directly by the buyer and customized using equipment packages, either online or via a retail outlet.[12]
The brand opened 221 retail outlets in China as of 2019, and expanded to Europe in 2020.[13]
Lynk & Co also offers a subscription based service to customers.[14]
Lynk & Co reported sales of 120,414 vehicles in China for 2018, the first full year the brand was on the market.[15]
