Lynk & Co to expand PH lineup with 02 EV crossover

It’s only been a year since Lynk & Co officially entered the Philippine market through United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAAGI), but the brand is already looking to offer diverse powertrain options in its lineup.

Currently, they have the 05 and 06 crossovers with pure internal combustion powertrains and the 01 as its PHEV offering. For this year, though, Lynk & Co is set to introduce a fully electric model called the 02.

Previewed recently at an exclusive UAAGI event, the Lynk & Co 02 hovers between the subcompact and compact segment when it comes to its size. Much like existing Lynk & Co models in the country, the 02 is fully loaded with premium features and advanced technology for intelligent driving – this time in an electric package.

Featuring a fastback silhouette, the Lynk & Co 02 has that sporty vibe with a full LED lighting affair on both the headlights and its taillights. As a premium EV, the 02 also features a panoramic glass roof for good measure.

Inside, the 02 EV immediately greets occupants with a large 15.4-inch infotainment screen on the dashboard. There are plenty of soft-touch surfaces to give it a premium vibe inside, while the smartphone connectivity feature allows occupants to play tunes via the 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

The main difference in the 02 EV, of course, is in its electric powertrain. The single motor setup delivers 272 PS and 343 Nm of torque to the rear wheels, with its large-capacity battery capable of taking the 02 up to 435 km on a single charge.

More details should follow, along with the pricing, once Lynk & Co launches the 02 at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show.
