Lynk & Co presents today its first 100% electric vehicle for the European market, the 02.
While the car is already running in China under the name Z20, it is indeed a brand new model launched this year by Lynk & Co. This 100% electric SUV is based on the SEA technical platform of the Geely group, the same platform used by Polestar, Volvo, Zeekr, and Smart in their latest models. Pooling resources has its advantages, but it is especially a guarantee of seriousness!
Designed in the Group’s design studio in Gothenburg, the 02 was developed through an innovative collaboration between customers of the hybrid rechargeable SUV 01 and the brand’s internal design and engineering teams. According to Lynk & Co, customer feedback played a crucial role in defining the character of the new car. Specifically, the brand’s customers were invited to provide their opinions directly from the cabin of their 01 through “Co,” one of Lynk & Co’s onboard applications. Given the poor user-friendliness and the dismal responsiveness of the infotainment system in the Lynk & Co 01, one wonders how many of the 6,000 messages sent requested new technology.
In the end, the 02 presents an interesting style that will certainly not go unnoticed. With an announced range of 445 km, it positions itself in an already crowded segment, but its differences could well help it stand out from the crowd.
The Lynk & Co 02 is announced to be available for online sale in Europe starting today, from 35,495 euros. This is just an entry price, of course, and each country will need to adjust the pricing according to its specifics. So let’s wait until it is available on the Lynk & Co France website, which is not yet the case as we write these lines.
