Lynk & Co 02

This is the catalogue record of the Lynk & Co 02, one of 15 models Lynk & Co has placed in the historical record and one of more than seventeen thousand cars the MotorJury library tracks. The record places its introduction in 2018. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Lynk & Co 02 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Tesla Tesla Model 3, the Porsche Porsche Taycan, the Chevrolet Chevrolet Bolt — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Lynk & Co 02 reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol: / 1.5T GB15T2 I3 180hp / 1.5T JLH-3G15TDC I3 / 1.5T JLH-3G15TD I3 / 2.0T Volvo Engine Architecture#B4204T30 / B4204T30/JLH-4G20TD I4; kerb weight is recorded at 1426 -; drive goes through 6-speed Manual transmission / manual / 7-speed 7DCT Dual-clutch transmission / dual-clutch / 8-speed AWF8F35 / Aisin automatic; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive (first generation) / Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive(second generation) / all-wheel-drive (second generation). Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear. Production is recorded at 21,751 units, which makes it a low-volume car in industry terms.

Its place in the Lynk & Co story

Within Lynk & Co's own catalogue the Lynk & Co 02 sits alongside the Lynk & Co 01, the Lynk & Co 03 TCR, the Lynk & Co 05, the Lynk & Co 08. The record names the successor = as its predecessor and the sp = as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to class = Compact crossover SUV. Assembly is recorded at China: Zhangjiakou (Lynk & Co Zhangjiakou Plant).

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

The catalogue records what the Lynk & Co 02 was; the ownership database records what it is like to own. MotorJury computes a verdict for every model year the United States federal record covers — complaints, recalls, real economy — refreshed nightly, with no opinions involved. If this car reached the American market, its verdicts are in there.
