After nearly 4 years since the launch of the Lynk & Co 03 in 2018, the model has finally ushered in the mid-term redesign.
Recently, a group of suspected Lynk & Co 03 model patent diagrams appeared at the State Intellectual Property Patent Office, which means that the mid-term redesign model is about to be listed.
Although this model is a mid-term redesign, it can be seen from the patent diagram of the new car that there are very big changes, and there are two styles, or Lynk & Co 03 and Lynk & Co 03+ models, considering that the two models are only slightly different.
Specifically, the new car changes are mainly reflected in the upgrade of the front and rear kits, the front face in the maintenance of the family "frog eye" design, the middle net and the front bar are adjusted, not only the split light group adjustment is more slender, but also replaced by a more aggressive front bar, and some models of the Geely family are quite similar.
At the same time, it can also be seen that the front cover and front lip of the new car have been upgraded and replaced with a more heat-dissipating open-hole cover, which further enhances the combat effectiveness of the new car.
From the side view, the biggest changes in the two styles are mainly reflected in the wheel hub, of which the more performance version of the wheel size is significantly larger, but also the rearview mirrors are upgraded.
In terms of tail, the two styles are mainly distinguished in the design of bilateral double out or double out of bilateral total, and with a rear surround that echoes the front face.
Considering that the model is a mid-term redesign, it is expected that the changes in the interior of the new car will not be too much adjusted, or mainly reflected in the configuration.
Referring to the previously exposed interior spy photos, the new car is replaced with a new style of steering wheel and a new central control screen, still focusing on the sports market.
In terms of power, the new model is expected to continue the current 1.5T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, and the traditional part is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. However, there is also news that the new car or replaced by Geely's new 1.5T four-cylinder engine.
Referring to the performance of the current model, the maximum output of the 1.5T engine is 132 kW, the peak torque is 265 Nm, and the maximum output power of the 2.0T engine is 140 kW and the peak torque is 300 N M.
The 03+ and 03+Cyan's 2.0T models have a maximum power of 187 kW and 195 kW respectively, and a maximum torque of 350 Nm and 380 Nm, both matching the 8AT gearbox.
Judging from the current market positioning of Lynk & Co 03, it has always been a popular model for domestic independent sports compact cars, so its competitors will also be independent and joint venture models of the same level of main sports.
Honda Civic
Guidance price: 11.99-16.99 million yuan
Changan UNI-V
Guidance price: 10.89-13.19 million yuan
Volkswagen Sagittarius
Guidance price: 13.35-16.59 million yuan
Perhaps Lynk & Co 03, as the pioneer of domestic sports cars, has a higher cost performance than many joint venture sports cars, making it a popular model in the sports car market.
Although more and more lower-priced sports cars have emerged, it does not seem to affect the position established by Lynk & Co earlier, especially since Lynk & Co has also launched more high-performance models such as 03+Cyan based on Lynk & Co 03, further enhancing the brand positioning.
