Lynk & Co 02
Country of production
The Lynk&Co 02 for the European market is produced in China (for the “02” family, the Zhangjiakou plant in Hebei is referenced within the Lynk & Co/Geely manufacturing).
Short description
The 02 is a 100% electric coupe-crossover with a “digital” approach: primarily online sales, generous standard equipment, a modern interface, and a more “lifestyle” positioning than a purely family-focused one. In Europe it is offered with a simple, rational configuration: a single RWD powertrain (rear motor) rated at 200 kW, a 66 kWh battery, and a declared range of up to 445 km (depending on trim/homologation). On the road it prioritizes smoothness, quietness, and EV responsiveness, with decent performance (0–100 in 5.5 s) without becoming extreme.

Pros
Well-judged figures: 200 kW, 0–100 in 5.5 s, and a declared range up to 445 km.
Simple range structure: two trims, same powertrain, clear differences (especially AC 11 kW vs 22 kW).
DC charging up to 150 kW with a reference 10–80% ~30 min.
Good usable space for the category, plus towing up to 1,600 kg (notable for an EV in this segment).
Cons
Single drivetrain layout (RWD only): coherent for efficiency/simplicity, but it does not cover those wanting AWD.
Non-trivial weight: noticeable in spirited driving, as on many BEVs.
Very software-driven experience: perceived quality and satisfaction also depend on update cadence and infotainment/services stability.
An attractive entry price, but the More trim level quickly approaches the pricing of better-known competitors in the segment, which, however, benefit from a well-established and widely distributed service network.
In summary
The Lynk & Co 02 is a modern electric coupe-crossover: decent performance, adequate range, and a digital-first proposition with two trims differentiated above all by AC charging. The Core is the value-oriented choice, while the More makes sense if you truly leverage 22 kW AC charging and want the extra comfort/tech content.
Verdict — Lynk & Co 02 (Model year 2025, BEV “coupé crossover”)
Compact electric SUV · Trims: Core / More · Rear electric motor · Rear-wheel drive · Output 200 kW (272 hp), torque 343 Nm · Battery 66 kWh (declared; nominal capacity is also cited as ~69 kWh in some sources) · Range up to 445 km WLTP · 0–100 km/h 5.5 s · Top speed 180 km/h · DC charging up to 150 kW (10–80% ~30 min) · AC charging 11 kW (Core) / 22 kW (More)
The Lynk & Co 02 is the brand’s fully electric offering in a “coupé crossover” format: youthful and highly connected, with a straightforward technical recipe (RWD, single motor, mid-size battery) and tuning aimed at ease of use and smoothness. Its 2025 positioning revolves around two practical strengths: competitive WLTP range for the segment and fast-enough DC charging to make longer trips realistic, without chasing record peak charging figures.
On the road, the character is typical of modern BEVs: instant low-speed response, good traffic smoothness, and intuitive driving. The rear-wheel-drive layout also helps in terms of steering feel and cleaner turn-in, while remaining a car primarily designed for comfort and daily usability rather than extreme sportiness.
Key technical points:
Motor and performance: 200 kW (272 hp) and 343 Nm, RWD, 0–100 km/h 5.5 s, top speed 180 km/h.
Battery and range: declared 66 kWh battery (with some spec sheets also citing ~69 kWh nominal); range up to 445 km WLTP (depends on configuration/wheels).
Charging and touring: DC up to 150 kW, with 10–80% ~30 minutes; AC 11 kW (Core) / 22 kW (More).
Dimensions and practicality (order of magnitude): length about 4.46 m, wheelbase 2,755 m; claimed boot ~410 L (up to ~1,400 L with seats folded, depending on measurement criteria).
Trims and product logic: Core as the more essential configuration; More typically focused on equipment and comfort (in addition to higher AC charging capability).
| Category | Where it shines | Where it holds steady | Where it falls short |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design & image | Modern coupé-crossover styling | Road presence in line with European compact EVs | Not “classic premium”: more tech/minimal |
| Performance | 0–100 in 5.5 s: decent in real use | Smooth, usable power delivery | 180 km/h top speed: coherent with efficiency, not absolute performance |
| Range & touring | Up to 445 km WLTP: credible for mixed use | Strong coherence for commuting + weekends | Real range is sensitive to speed, climate, and tires |
| Charging | ~30 min 10–80% DC; AC up to 22 kW (More) | Easier trip planning with 150 kW HPC | To benefit, you need well-maintained, uncongested DC infrastructure |
| Driving dynamics | RWD: cleaner turn-in feel | High comfort and predictability | Compact-SUV weight/tuning: not a sports car |
| Practicality | ~410 L boot and compact-SUV cabin | Versatility suitable for 2–3 people plus luggage | Coupé roofline can slightly reduce rear headroom |
| Technology & ADAS | Natively connected, service-oriented product | Packs/equipment coherent for the segment | Functions can vary by market/spec and software updates |
| Ownership costs | EV: potential advantages on energy and routine maintenance | Good “plug & go” logic | Insurance/tires can weigh in; residual value depends on used-EV demand |
Who it is for
Drivers who want a compact electric SUV with a connected approach, decent everyday performance, and a charging/range package that can support trips—provided they have regular access to AC charging (home/office) or local HPC.
Who should consider alternatives
If you need AWD for specific requirements (snow, frequent towing, demanding mountain routes), or maximum family cargo capacity and a more traditional SUV stance, more square-shaped and/or AWD alternatives may be more coherent. Likewise, if you want flagship-level performance (sustained higher speeds, higher outputs), performance-oriented BEVs may be a better fit.
Recommended configuration
More if you want to maximize daily usability and resale prospects: 22 kW AC charging and typically richer equipment are tangible medium-term advantages (especially if you often charge away from home).
Core if your goal is to optimize entry cost and you charge mostly at home: it is the more rational choice when extra equipment is not decisive.
In both cases, for real-world use it is advisable to avoid extreme wheel/tire combinations if the goal is range and comfort, and to verify access to 150 kW DC infrastructure in your area.
