In recent years, it can be described as a period of spurt development of the mainland automobile industry, and a number of independent brand car companies in the mainland have burst out amazing creativity and research and development capabilities in recent years, and the product lines of their respective brands are also constantly expanding. After successively consolidating the position of their own brands in the field of SUVs and family cars, major car companies have also set their sights on the field of sports cars, such as the recently popular shadow leopard, MG 6 and Changan UNI-V, etc. are representative works of independent brands in this field, but when it comes to who is the "brother" of independent sports cars, Lynk & Co 03 series models are absolutely well-deserved.
However, the current model of Lynk & Co 03 has been in service for four years, and it is already a veteran, and recently this model has finally released the news of the remodeled model, and the relevant patent diagram has flowed out, so let's take a sneak peek together.
Judging from the patent diagram flowing out this time, the 03 and 03+ models of this revision have undergone no small changes in appearance, first of all, the front face adopts a new large-size trapezoidal grille, just like adding a "figure eight beard" on both sides of the front face. At the same time, the light group still adopts the form of split type, but the style has changed slightly. At present, this set of front faces is larger than the current model span, and even a little "bump face" other domestic models, this design style in the eyes of many netizens is a bit contrary, feeling that the original value is lowered.
The redesigned model has not made a lot of changes on the side, the entire side is still relatively simple and capable, and the looming muscle lines still set off a certain sense of sport.
The rear part of the new car has added a lot of details, the whole rear still has a good sense of layering, the classic ducktail, through-the tail lights and sports surround have been retained, but as a sports model these elements are necessary. The biggest highlight is this new diffuser and dynamic bilateral double exhaust, this design is more exaggerated than the current model, but also more sporty, compared to the front face of the change, this tail is simply much better.
In addition to the ordinary version of the 03 model, the patent drawing exposed this time also includes the advanced version of the model 03+, and its design remains the same as that of the 03, but a lot of details are added to the appearance of the 03. First of all, the front cover part of the 03+ of this redesign has added two new air intakes, which can not only improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the cabin, but also improve the visual impact, increasing the sense of movement of the whole vehicle.
At the same time, dynamic kits such as front lips and side skirts have been added to the side of the vehicle and the front face. The diffuser in the rear part of the car and the bilateral four-out exhaust are also more aggressive, and in terms of competitiveness, the new Lynk & Co 03+ strength is still online.
In terms of interior, there is no news flowing out this time, but according to the previously exposed interior spy photos, the interior of the redesigned 03 series model has not changed much, so more changes may be reflected in the vehicle configuration.
In terms of power, the revamped 03 series models will retain the same 1.5T three-cylinder and 2.0T four-cylinder versions as the current model, and match the 7-speed dual-clutch and 8AT hand automatic transmission respectively, and the 2.0T version will have a maximum horsepower of 254 horses and a peak torque of 350 Nm. At the same time, according to the previous planning of the Lynk & Co brand side, the follow-up Lynk & Co 03 family will add a more powerful model, perhaps the previously circulated 03++ model, it is understood that the model will have the maximum horsepower of 350 horses, the price will come to the 500,000 yuan range, becoming the first model in the independent brand to officially benchmark the Mainstream steel gun such as Mercedes-Benz A45.
Write at the end
On the whole, the 03 series model has changed a lot in appearance, but as of now, it is still difficult for everyone to accept this set of design, especially the front face, and even some netizens said that they will no longer consider the 03 series model after changing this front face.
However, because the specific parameters and configuration of the new Lynk & Co 03 have not yet been announced, it is not advisable to assert the future market acceptance of this car based on only a front face, and now there are also new generations of Mercedes-Benz S-Class on the market. The specific situation waited until the middle of this year, and the remodeled Lynk & Co 03 series model officially met with us to see the difference.
