Not long ago, Euler Good Cat was questioned by the owner of the chip for false propaganda, which attracted a lot of attention on the Internet.
Although from the perspective of sales, the sales volume of Euler automobiles in December still exceeded 20,000 vehicles, but the impact of the "chip door" incident on Euler automobiles is still not small.
Recently, Lynk & Co Has once again caused a lot of controversy due to the same problem.
The cause of the incident was that at the new Lynk & Co 01 press conference on December 1, 2020, the A-pillar of Lynk & Co 01, the rear of the upper beam, the lower beam and other parts of the Lynk & Co officially promoted, as well as the entire roof beam, were made of ultra-high-strength steel.
Moreover, Lynk & Co officials also said that the comprehensive high-strength steel utilization rate of the Lynk & Co 01 vehicle reached 73.2%, using a global unified standard.
In May 2021, some media found in the dismantling of Lynk & Co 01 that the strength of the beam steel of the car was inconsistent with the previous official propaganda of Lynk & Co. The front part of the body is made of Grade A steel, the rear part is made of Grade C steel, and the C-pillar and D-pillar are all made of Grade D steel.
At the same time, the owner of Lynk & Co 01 also clearly pointed out that after the collision of Lynk & Co 01, the back of the C-pillar was completely deformed.
Therefore, the owner questioned the strength of the steel used by Lynk & Co 01, and did not use ultra-high strength steel as previously listed.
In addition, in the promotion of the official website of Lynk & Co, Lynk & Co not only replaced the accompanying picture of the Lynk & Co 01 model, but also changed the "ultra-high-strength steel" in the second half of the roof beam to "high-strength steel".
Although there is only a one-word difference, in the eyes of many Lynk & Co 01 car owners, this is unacceptable to them.
As a result, many owners of Lynk & Co 01 questioned the suspected false publicity of Lynk & Co.
CheKuai commented that on the well-known domestic automobile complaint platform, on January 20 alone, the number of complaints about sales fraud in Lynk & Co 01 soared by 17.
In this regard, the official of Lynk & Co Automobile also responded at the first time.
Lynk & Co said that for the configuration of the model, Lynk & Co will be determined based on the needs and competitiveness of users in the markets of various countries. The configuration combination and sales price of different countries will vary. However, the model structure of the version sold by Lynk & Co 01 in different countries around the world is completely the same.
For the body structure schematic diagram, there is no unified standard, and Lynk & Co currently does not have a unified schematic specification, resulting in inconsistent body structure schematics used by different departments or different scenes.
Finally, Lynk & Co also said that it will comprehensively check and sort out and continue to improve the specifications of the work in the whole brand.
Sales data show that in 2021, the cumulative sales of Lynk & Co vehicles were 220,500 units, an increase of 25.68% year-on-year, which is also the first time that the annual sales of Lynk & Co exceeded 200,000 units.
As an independent high-end automobile brand, the cumulative sales of Lynk & Co Automobile, which has been established for nearly 5 years, has exceeded 650,000 units, and the results are not easy to come by.
It is hoped that this time Lynk & Co Automobile can properly solve the doubts of users, and must not be taken lightly to avoid the escalation of the incident.
