The Lynk & Co 02 evolves. Finally the right recipe?

The Lynk & Co 02 receives a series of targeted improvements aimed at addressing several issues raised by European users.
Lynk & Co continues the evolution of its compact electric SUV 02 with the arrival of the 2027 model year. Rather than a complete overhaul, the Sino-Swedish manufacturer has opted to implement a series of specific modifications focusing on comfort, ergonomics, and connected services, areas that have been regularly cited as improvement points for the model since its launch in Europe.
In terms of aesthetics, the changes remain subtle. The main new exterior feature is the introduction of an “Onyx Black” color, which enriches the catalog. Inside, the Lynk & Co 02 MY27 adopts new microfiber trims on the dashboard and door panels. The central console has also been redesigned to offer more storage space and better utilize the available space.
A renewed experience
The manufacturer claims to have worked on the fluidity of the digital experience. The embedded system benefits from a faster startup, and driver profiles now allow for automatic retrieval of certain personalized settings. Several common controls, particularly those related to comfort features, have also been rearranged to reduce the number of necessary actions.
The technological aspect is enhanced with two new functions. Named “Hey Honk,” one of them allows different sounds to be broadcast through the vehicle’s exterior speakers. The second, “Game Link,” permits playing games on the central screen when the vehicle is parked.
However, no advancements are announced concerning the technical side. The electric SUV retains its powertrain and battery specifications. Lynk & Co seems to prioritize enhancing the user experience rather than boosting its performance.
