Some launches take months to plan, while others are decided in minutes. The new Lynk & Co 02, known in the Chinese domestic market as Lynk & Co 20, clearly falls into the latter category: according to the brand itself, the updated crossover has received 14,663 firm orders within just one hour of going on sale in China. These are customers who have already locked in their orders by selecting the exact configuration for their car, not just simple reservations.
The model comes with a technical feature that is uncommon in its segment: it is one of the first cars to feature Geely’s “16 in 1” electric drive system, along with a laser radar (LiDAR) for assisted driving, a 125-liter front trunk, and a range of up to 630 kilometers under the CLTC cycle, which is equivalent to 517 kilometers according to Europe’s current WLTP cycle.
Five versions available, starting at 16,094 euros
The launch lineup features five trims, with prices before discounts ranging from 123,800 to 163,800 yuan, which is equivalent to between 16,094 and 21,294 euros at the current exchange rate. Time-limited offers lower this range to 118,800–158,800 yuan, or 15,444–20,644 euros. Here is the full lineup:
Lynk & Co 02 545 Pro: 123,800 yuan (16,094 euros)
Lynk & Co 02 545 Max: 133,800 yuan (17,394 euros)
Lynk & Co 02 630 Max: 138,800 yuan (18,044 euros)
Lynk & Co 02 630 Ultra: 153,800 yuan (19,994 euros)
Lynk & Co 02 Flying: 163,800 yuan (21,294 euros)
A front trunk with a power outlet and a maximum loading capacity of 25 kg
Exteriorly, the 02 features redesigned bumpers, semi-hidden door handles, and a 192-line LiDAR sensor mounted on the roof. The higher-end Flying edition adds a sports package with a carbon fiber rear spoiler, front splitter, rear diffuser, and side skirts. The car remains competitive in the compact segment with its 4,495 mm length, 1,845 mm width, 1,573 mm height, and a wheelbase of 2,755 mm. Its front trunk offers 125 liters of storage space, including a power outlet with a maximum load capacity of 25 kg.
The interior features a 15.4-inch central display and a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. The top-tier version adds a 50 W wireless charger for the phone, seats partially covered in nappa leather, 23 speakers, a 6.8-liter integrated refrigerator, and dynamic ambient lighting. The car is compatible with the navigation-assisted driving function (NOA) on both urban roads and highways.
The “16 in 1” engine and two LFP battery options
The new Lynk & Co 02 comes standard with Geely’s “16 in 1” electric drive system, featuring a TZ184QY301 engine mounted on the rear axle, delivering a maximum power of 245 kW (329 HP) and 320 Nm of torque. Two capacities of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are available: 61.52 kWh and 70 kWh. With these, the range is between 545 and 630 kilometers under the CLTC cycle, which is equivalent to between 447 and 517 kilometers under the harmonized WLTP standard. The battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 12 minutes, and according to the technical specifications, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds, with a top speed of 201 km/h.
First deliveries expected in October
According to Lynk & Co’s own officials, information on the first deliveries of the new 02 will be available starting in October, so we’ll have to wait a few weeks to see if that strong initial demand translates into a similarly solid production and delivery pace. It will reach Europe later, almost certainly at the beginning of next year, although we shouldn’t expect many changes regarding the current price, which is set at approximately 35,500 euros.
