Lynk & Co 02 launches in Vietnam market: Sporty design, rich in amenities, priced from 818 million VND

Lynk&Co 02 has just officially launched in the Vietnamese market with two versions, starting at 818 million VND. This is a 5-seat pure electric CUV model, the highlight comes from a series of integrated amenities, accompanied by a rear-wheel drive pure electric powertrain, promising to bring appeal to young customers who love dynamism. Lynk & Co 02 is an electric SUV model in the C segment, introduced by the brand to the market with two versions Pro and Halo. Both use the same mechanical platform and engine, the main differences lie in interior equipment, sound and some active safety features. Below are the full specifications published in the product configuration table.

Exterior

Lynk&Co 02 has a sporty, dynamic design with a coupe-style rear, combined with frameless glass doors. Accompanied by eye-catching details, highlighted with contrasting tones such as glossy black. LED headlights and daytime running lights with daytime running lights create a synchronous shape with a very unique brand identity. The Halo version is supplemented with dark-tinted second-row glass and outside rearview mirrors with integrated electric folding, heating, and memory position - while the Pro version only has electric mirrors, memory position but does not have electric folding or heating features.

The car has dimensions of length x width x height: 4,460 x 1,845 x 1,573 mm, wheelbase 2,755 mm. Luggage compartment capacity ranges from 350-450 liters depending on usage configuration, ground clearance when unloaded is 191 mm. The vehicle has a weight of 1,820 kg in both versions. This is a somewhat modest size, however the wheelbase is at a good level. The explanation for this is that the 4 wheels are designed to move close to the 4 corners, creating a balanced - dynamic look but not too affecting the interior space. Borderless - anti-jamming, 1-touch glass door is integrated on both versions. Similarly, the rear trunk is electrically adjustable and remembers the position on both the Pro and Halo versions.

The car has 6 exterior color options: Onyx Black, Tech Magenta, Grid Gray, Silver, Crystal White and Palace Beige. The interior comes in two color tones: Stone Gray with black and Rose with black.

Engine

In terms of performance, both versions use electric motors with maximum capacity of 200 kW (268 horsepower), maximum torque of 343 Nm. Ability to accelerate from 0-100km/h in 5.5 seconds, maximum speed reaches 180 km/h. Notably, Lynk&co 02 is a rear-wheel drive electric vehicle, this combined with the battery pack under the system makes the weight distribution and dynamics of the vehicle much different in actual operation. Above all, Lynk&co 02 is inherently positioned as a sports-oriented car model in both design and performance.

Batteries & Chargers

The vehicle is equipped with a 66 kWh NCM battery pack, giving a maximum pure electric range of 435 km according to WLTP standards. The announced energy consumption is 17.6 kWh/100km.

Chassis

MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, identical on both versions. The braking system uses radiator discs for both front and rear wheels, integrates the Auto Hold feature, has an electronic handbrake, optional driving mode and energy recovery when braking. Tire size is 235/50 R19 for both versions. The difference lies in the tire brand: the Pro version uses Kumho tires, while the Halo version uses Continental tires.

Interior

Inside the interior, Lynk&Co 02 shows a somewhat minimalist and flat design style. The Tap-lo section is almost flat and offers good visibility to the front and sides. The difference between the two versions is not too big as both are equipped with panoramic glass ceilings, sports seats and large entertainment screens. Notable differences include the high-capacity sound system and mini refrigerator only available on the higher-end Halo version.

Both versions use artificial leather on the steering wheel and seats. Seat amenities such as: Heating, cooling, 6-way power adjustment and memory for driver's seat position on both versions are also similar.

Both versions support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and 128 GB internal memory. A 15.4-inch central touch screen is equipped on both versions, integrating wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto connectivity. Regarding the sound system, the Pro version is equipped with an 8-speaker sound system, while the Halo version is equipped with a Harman Kardon system with 14 speakers, total capacity of 1,600W.

The second row space of Lynk & Co 02 is well optimized in the legroom area. Although the battery pack makes the car floor high, in return the seat is also designed high and slightly tilted towards the calves, this will help limit leg fatigue when sitting for a long time. The seat backrest will not be ideal for journeys because it does not have a good recline for a resting position, so this recline will be suitable for short and medium journeys for those sitting in the back. This second row of seats can also be folded in a 60:40 ratio, while the Halo version has a 60:40 folding ratio to expand the trunk volume. Other amenities include: keyless start and door opening, 2-zone automatic air conditioning, rear air vents, and automatic rain sensors are all fully equipped on both Pro and Halo.
