Lynk & Co aims to be one of the major players in the industry, after all, the brand belongs to Volvo Cars’ parent Geely. As part of its brand launch event at Auto Shanghai 2017, the company announced free data connectivity as a standard feature and lifetime warranty for its cars.
Every new vehicle will benefit from complementary data traffic access globally from purchase, said Lynk. The offer will begin with the 01 Crossover which was unveiled in October last year, and is now production ready. Details of the lifetime product warranty and roadside assistance will be revealed as the first new Lynk vehicles go on sale in China in Q4 2017, with sales in Europe and the US to follow in 2019.
As for the 01 Crossover, the company said that it has undergone a comprehensive programme of testing and development around the world, from the frozen plains of the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia to the unforgiving heat of the Turpan desert in China, and is now production ready.
Series production of the 01 will begin this year at a dedicated factory in Luqiao, Zhejiang Province in Eastern China, a factory purpose built by Geely for Lynk & Co and Volvo Cars, and delivered by Volvo’s team of production engineers. At launch in China, the 01 will be powered by a family of engines shared with Volvo Cars, including 1.5T and 2.0T petrol options, and a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) derivative.
