Model details

The Lynk & Co 01 is based on the Compact Modular Architecture platform, developed by China Euro Vehicle Technology AB (CEVT),[9] a platform which also underpins the Volvo XC40. The 01 will share much of its components with the XC40, including its electrical architecture, engines and safety systems.[10]

The car is controlled by a shared digital key that can allow owners to provide access to other Lynk & Co cars.[11] The car is 453 cm (178.3 in) long and is powered by a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder and a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engines from Volvo[12] and mated to a manual gearbox or seven-speed automatic.[13] The Lynk & Co 01 was initially manufactured by Volvo in Luqiao district in the city of Taizhou, China, in the same production line as Volvo XC40 and Polestar,[14][15][16] but production was later moved to the Lynk & Co Meishan island plant 50 km from Ningbo.[1]
