Among the well-known, established, and popular brands, there is a carmaker that threats to spoil the party to many carmakers. Lynk&Co is the Chinese company, owned by Geely, which is the fastest-growing automotive brand at this moment. The things this company is doing is the best shown on Lynk&Co 01 SUV. In just 2 minutes 17 seconds since the online sale started, the new vehicle was sold out!
This is not happening by accident. Contrary, with big announcements in the past, the future of any Lynk&Co vehicle is bright. Who wouldn’t by a car with free internet as a standard feature? If you are not so keen on modern trends, what would you say about the lifetime warranty? Having this in mind, it is clear why the crossover is so popular, although its first copies were exclusively for Chinese buyers.
Lynk&Co 01 SUV Specs
The Lynk&Co 01 SUV is using the platform from XC40 crossover by Volvo. Both brands have the same parent company, the Chinese corporation Geely. So, there is no surprise for this info. Whatsoever, the SUV has no access to any drivetrain from Swede carmaker. So, the choice was a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit. However, the XC40 is using a T4 powertrain, which is a 2.0-l 4-cylinder mill. This will be another option for the Lynk&Co 01 SUV, but probably when the crossover arrives in the European market.
Hybrid and Plug-In
In the future, the Lynk&Co 01 SUV could produce the hybrid. It is just a matter of time when we will see the first models in the online shop. Electric batteries are in development rooms, and there are no details about these motors. Nevertheless, the only available info is that the hybrid drivetrain is going to be ready for the worldwide appearance of the 01 crossover.
Lynk&Co 01 SUV Styling
The Lynk&Co 01 SUV and Volvo CX40 might share the same concept, but the styling of two vehicles is completely different. We would rather say that the Lynk&Co 01 crossover is more like the new Kia Sportage with its exterior design. The vehicle is 178 inches long, 73 inches wide and 65 inches high. The full-width grille is making this vehicle pretty aggressive, but also elegant at the same time.

Telematic system, thanks to an independent internet connection, is always online and up to date. Android Auto is an extra feature, while Apple CarPlay and Mirror link are standard. Thanks to the smartphone app, the car can get some commands from various devices.
