what prices for the cousin of the Volvo XC40?

Presented last September, the restyled version of the Lynk & Co 01 is now available to order.

The Lynk & Co 01 is an SUV derived from the Volvo XC40 whose sales are not that confidential in France, unlike other new manufacturers.

Arriving on the market in 2020, the SUV 01 was entitled to a small makeover to revive its sales, in free fall, with -84.7% of registrations over the first 10 months of the year compared to the same period last year.

Small developments

To develop this development, Lynk & Co collected feedback from its customers to develop the style and colors of its compact SUV. Only a trained eye will be able to detect the new features, since they are mainly located at the level of its grille painted in glossy black, the new design for the alloy wheels, as well as new LED taillights.

Inside, the infotainment system has been improved, making it smoother and faster. It now benefits from a high definition display with a 15.4-inch HD touchscreenand embeds a chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 which allows it to improve its performance. The interior of the restyled Lynk & Co 01 also receives new physical controls on the steering wheelto improve the ergonomics of the driving position.

More powerful and not necessarily more expensive

Under the hood, we find an evolution of its plug-in hybrid powertrain from Geely, which now develops a combined power of 276 horsepower (206 kW) for 535 Nm of torqueeither 15 more horses than the previous version. This rechargeable hybrid engine allows you to travel up to 75 km in 100% electric modeand displays an average consumption of 0.9 liters/100 km according to the combined WLTP cycle, all for emissions of 20 g/km of CO₂.
