New brand Lynk & Co unveils ‘state-of-the-art’ SUV by CAR Magazine

Geely is likely to be the first Chinese carmaker to make a major push into Western markets when sales of its new Lynk & Co cars begin, probably in late 2018, in Europe and America. The company, which also owns Volvo, is pursuing a new sales model that consists of no franchised dealers, no options and car sharing. It also boasts industry-leading connectivity.

Lynk & Co’s first car, the 01, is a small stylish SUV that’s technically similar to the upcoming Volvo XC40 SUV. The 01 shares the XC40’s new CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform, including electrical architecture, engines and many of its advanced safety systems.
