The Lynk & Co 02 is a Chinese-Swedish engineered compact electric crossover from Lynk & Co, introduced in 2018 as the brand’s early EV offering and later evolved into its current electrified lineup with European introduction of the second generation as the Lynk & Co Z20. Key points you might want to know:

• Overview
  • The 02 is the second model from Lynk & Co, developed with the brand’s CEVT (China Euro Vehicle Technology AB) collaboration, and originally launched in China in 2018. It has served as a core model for showcasing Lynk & Co’s design language and technology, including emphasis on connectivity and premium features. [This reflects the model’s origin and position within the lineup.]
• Generations and variants
  • First generation (CC11; 2018): Debuted as the Lynk & Co 02, later renamed as part of branding evolution. Initially offered with gasoline- and hybrid-like configurations in various markets, but the lineup ultimately pivoted toward electrification in many regions. [Historical context of the model’s naming and launch.]
  • Second generation: Europe market introduction of a redesigned, fully electric variant, often referred to in Europe as the Lynk & Co Z20 (in China, the same lineage may carry a different name). This marks the brand’s shift toward full EV offerings in Western markets and aligns with Lynk & Co’s broader electrification strategy. [Market strategy and naming alignment.]
• Design and features
  • The 02 is noted for a distinctive, coupe-like silhouette, with prominent LED lighting and aerodynamic cues designed to stand out in the compact electric crossover segment. Modern feature sets typically include advanced driver assistance systems, panoramic cameras, large central displays, and robust safety ratings. [Design and tech emphasis.]
• Specifications and capability
  • Powertrain and performance: Various powertrain configurations have appeared across markets, with outputs generally in the performance range expected of a compact EV crossover (strong acceleration for its class, aided by dual-motor or high-performance single-motor variants in some regions). 0-100 km/h times and range figures have varied by market and battery option, with recent press and official materials highlighting rapid charging capabilities and competitive efficiency. [General performance expectations.]
  • Battery and range: Battery capacities cited in different sources range around the mid-60 kWh to high-60 kWh usable ranges, with 400V architecture common to several variants and a focus on practical daily range for typical urban and suburban use. Charging capabilities include DC fast charging to support shorter recharge times. [Typical energy and charging characteristics.]
• Availability and market status
  • The Lynk & Co 02 has been offered in multiple markets, including China and Europe, with ongoing updates to its powertrain lineup as Lynk & Co expands its EV footprint. Used-market activity and new-vehicle pricing vary by region and trim level, with some markets listing the 02 as a contemporary used option or as a current generation EV.
