About the Lynk & Co 01
The Lynk & Co 01 is the debut model from Geely's premium mobility brand, sharing its CMA platform and plug-in hybrid powertrain with the Volvo XC40. Designed in Sweden and built in China, it focuses on a tech-first experience with a large 12.7-inch touchscreen and built-in sharing functionality. The PHEV variant combines a 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine with an 82 hp electric motor, offering a smooth transition between power sources and a respectable electric-only range. It is best known for its innovative 'membership' model, allowing users to subscribe monthly rather than purchasing outright.
