Lynk & Co 01

  • Engine Type : Plugin Hybrid
  • Transmission : Automatic
  • Drive Type : Front-Wheel Drive
  • Power HP : 280 HP
  • Consumption L/100km : 0.9 L/100km
  • Electric Range : 75 km

Design & Presence

The Lynk & Co 01 wears a confident, modern SUV silhouette with bold front treatment and coupe-like roofline that keeps it from looking like every other family crossover. At 4,545 mm long and 1,860 mm wide it has enough road presence to feel substantial without being awkward in city traffic. The styling balances urban flair and practicality, so it stands out at the lights but still fits in a tight parking spot.

Interior & Usability

The cabin mixes soft-touch surfaces with straightforward controls and a large central touchscreen that sets a tech-forward tone without being overcomplicated. Seating is for five with supportive front buckets and a tidy rear bench; fit and finish are respectable for the segment, with a few hard plastics where price pressure shows. Ergonomics favor easy everyday use, with intuitive switchgear and visibility that suit long commutes as well as short errands.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Boot capacity is a practical 466 litres with the seats up and expands to 1,213 litres when folded flat, which comfortably swallows supermarket loads and weekend bags for a family of four. The curb weight of 1,935 kg and a payload of 415 kg mean the car feels solid and can carry a sensible load of people and gear without drama. A 42-litre fuel tank and conventional five-door packaging keep refuelling and access straightforward for real-life use.

Driving & Handling

Under way the 01 combines a 276 hp powertrain and 535 Nm of torque to deliver brisk performance, reaching 0–100 km/h in 7.7 seconds and topping out at 200 km/h, which is more than enough for highway overtakes. Front-wheel drive and a well-mannered chassis prioritise comfort over razor-sharp handling, so body roll is present but controlled and the ride soaks up bumps with usual SUV composure. The overall result is a capable daily driver that will satisfy drivers wanting pace without fussier sport-car trade-offs.

Efficiency, Consumption & Real Range

As a plug-in hybrid the 01 boasts a declared electric range of 75 km and an impressively low combined consumption figure of 0.9 L/100 km under test-cycle conditions, translating to minimal petrol use for short commutes if the battery is regularly charged. CO2 is rated at 20 g/km, which helps with urban emissions zones and company-car taxation in many markets. For longer trips the 1.5-litre petrol engine and 42-litre tank combine with the hybrid system to give flexible, confident range without constant stops for plugs.

Assistance & Infotainment

The 01 offers a modern infotainment stack with smartphone integration, a clear digital cluster and a helpful suite of driver aids that include motorway assist and active safety systems commonly expected in this class. The touchscreen logic is generally responsive and the cabin tech supports everyday convenience like hands-free tailgate functions and over-the-air updates on some configurations. Safety and assistance systems are tuned for ease of use, reducing driver workload on long runs and in dense traffic.

Who is it for?

The Lynk & Co 01 suits buyers who want SUV practicality with plug-in efficiency — urban professionals and small families who can charge regularly and value tech and style as much as utility. Current versions include the Lynk & Co 01 1.5TD PHEV front-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid with 276 hp, a declared consumption of 0.9 L/100 km and an electric range of 75 km, making it competitive for those chasing low running costs without sacrificing everyday usability. It is not aimed at pure performance enthusiasts but at people seeking a versatile, well-equipped crossover that fits modern mixed driving needs.

I have the 01 from 2022 and have had it for 2 years. It's been a lovely car to own and drive. I return from Spain to the UK twice a year in it and it's a pleasure to travel in. The only grip has been the infotainment system which has been buggy and slow. I had the software updated a few weeks ago at the Volvo garage as the over the air option does not work. This has made the infotainment system acceptable now.

It takes a while to get used to the seats for me as the base is quite hard but now I feel they are very confortable. I charge it everyday in the carpark and I use it 90% of the time on electric mode. It does the 70km on a full charge as stated and in petrol mode I'm getting around 16km a litre or 75 a gallon, the engine is only used on motorways.

Aftersales service is patchy here in Spain. My nearest dealer is about a 40 min drive from here, it's not like owning a Renault where there's a dealer everywhere, I've only had to take it there twice, once turned out to be a stone in a brake caliper causing a squeak and the other for the software update.

I highly recommend these cars!
