The Lynk & Co 01 is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Geely-owned Chinese-Swedish automaker Lynk & Co. It was the first model for Lynk & Co and it was developed by China Euro Vehicle Technology AB (CEVT), a Swedish subsidiary to Geely.
Lynk & Co 01 was formerly codenamed Geely CX11 during its development. First revealed online in October 2016, [4] it went on sale on August 4, 2017. [5] The PHEV version went out for the market on 7 July 2018, as the very first luxury hybrid SUV produced by Lynk & Co. The electric recharge mileage of it initially reached 51 kilometers. [6]
The Lynk & Co 01 is equipped with a 10.2-inch multimedia screen. One of the "Pro" models provides with timely four-wheel drive. The Speech Recognition System is able to take part in media, navigation system, phone and air conditioning. [7] [8]
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]
Lynk & Co 01 received 5.5-stars rating in C-NCAP crash test. The overall rating reaches 60.1 points.
A facelift was launched for the 2021 model year and the launch of the European market. For the European market, there will be no trim levels with the Lynk & Co 01 with the only options being the powertrain and paint color. Standard equipment for the 01 offered in Europe includes a large central touchscreen, sat-nav, a social media camera, and over-the-air updates for the in-car tech systems. [17]
The Lynk & Co 01 was launched in Kuwait in November 2021 with two trim levels "Hyper" and "Hyper Pro". One 2.0 powertrain is available, 2.0L B4204T30 Drive-E-T4 with 218 hp/160Kw and an 8-speed FWD automatic transmission, no hybrid drivetrain. Furthermore, colour options are White, Black and Red. [18] [19]
The 01 received a facelift for the 2022 model year and newly introduced 01 hybrid versions with up to 245 hp was also introduced. The 01 hybrid versions is available as EM-F and EM-P versions. The 01 EM-F and EM-P features a new hybrid powertrain called the LYNK E-MOTIVE. It is based on Geely's Hi-X hybrid system. The YNK E-MOTIVE uses a 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol engine (DHE15-ESZ) for 110 kW (150 hp) mated to a three-speed DHT Pro hybrid gearbox. The thermal efficiency of the engine reaches 43.32% and can reduce fuel consumption by up to 40% and the vehicle has an efficient fuel consumption of 4.88 L/100 km (WLTC). The EM-F is a HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) and the EM-P is a PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid EV). [20]

A subscription membership model was also launched in Europe. Only the HEV and PHEV versions are offered in Europe, but not the gasoline variant. Lynk & Co claims that up to 70 kilometres (43 mi) of pure electric range can be achieved with the PHEV, according to WLTP. The PHEV features a 132-kilowatt (177 hp; 179 PS) petrol engine, a 60-kilowatt (80 hp; 82 PS) electric motor and a standard consumption of 1.1 L/100 km (260 mpg‑imp; 210 mpg‑US) for the Lynk & Co 01 PHEV.
