Pull down the threshold of the steel gun car with your own strength, 2.0T with four-wheel drive, Lynk & Co 03+ is not fragrant?
Since the birth of the Golf GTI, the term "small steel cannon" has gradually become synonymous with those hatchbacks that are fast-paced and flexible, and now people seem to have a broader definition of "small steel cannon" than before, and also often use "small steel cannon" to describe those sedans with the appearance of family cars and the acceleration performance of sports cars, such as the Honda Civic, which has become famous with the Type-R on the Nürburgring circuit. However, in the face of Lynk & Co 03+, civic's "sedan" status is probably not guaranteed, it not only has 254 horsepower, but also equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system, on the performance is not inferior to the Golf GTI. So, spend 200,000 yuan to buy a Lynk & Co 03+ in the end is not fragrant?
In terms of appearance, the shape of Lynk & Co 03+ and the ordinary version of Lynk & Co 03 is almost the same, and the "frog-style" front face design and split LED headlight layout are also adopted, and the lines are full and smooth. The difference is that the Lynk & Co 03+ is decorated with air movement kits in many places, from front to back, the front lip wind knife, the side skirt surround, the rear surround diffuser, the large size spoiler, etc., after the details are embellished, the overall momentum is more offensive. It is worth noting that the Lynk & Co 03+ has a black character "+" in the side C-pillar position, which makes it different from other versions of the model and highlights the special identity of the model.
In terms of interior, in order to set off the sports atmosphere, the interior of the car has added many popular decorative elements, such as: geometric color block texture, Alcantara fur, large area of soft leather, body color decorative strips, etc., from the senses to give the driver and occupants a "luxurious" experience, compared with the same price of golf GTI, Cadillac CT4 and other models, the material is more advanced. Not only that, the new car is equipped with a panoramic sunroof, steering wheel shift, 10.2-inch LCD meter, keyless entry, built-in driving recorder, front seat heating, 10-speaker Infinity audio, adaptive far and near light, monochrome atmosphere lights, headlight steering, automatic dual-zone air conditioning and other functions, and the configuration is very rich.
In terms of space, the seat wrapping of the Lynk & Co 03+ is in place, which can provide enough support when the vehicle is cornering, helping the driver to devote himself to the fun of driving and handling. In addition, as a compact car with a wheelbase of up to 2730mm, the rear space is also relatively generous, which can meet the rear space needs of most young users, but due to the four-wheel drive system, the chassis is arranged with a drive shaft, so the rear floor has a high bulge, which is obviously more suitable for 4 people.
In terms of power, the Lynk & Co 03+ is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine, a maximum power of 254 horsepower, a peak torque of 350 Nm, matching the 8AT gearbox, the book parameters exceed most of the same displacement power level, for the Lynk & Co 03+ with a curb weight of only 1620kg, the power reserve is more than enough. In addition, the Lynk & Co 03+ is also equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system, which further strengthens the vehicle's power response at the start and mid-section re-acceleration, and the hardware strength cannot be underestimated. In terms of chassis, the Lynk & Co 03+ adopts a front McPherson rear multi-link independent suspension, and the chassis structure is more common.
After test driving Lynk & Co 03+, it is not difficult to find that the four-wheel drive system of this car has obvious effects at the start, the acceleration attitude is stable, and the tires do not slip. After repeated tests, the Zero Hundred Acceleration performance stabilized at about 6.81 seconds, slightly ahead of the 2021 Volkswagen Golf GTI. In addition, the braking system is excellent, the optimal braking distance from 100km/h-0 is 36.12 meters, and there is no thermal attenuation of braking during the test. When the vehicle is driving at high speed, the suspension can provide sufficient support, when the vehicle center of gravity is rapidly shifted, the stability of the body is better, the controllability is high, under the intervention of the ESP stability system, the handling stability is enhanced, and the measured elk test score of the car is 81.8km/h, and the handling performance is at the forefront of the same level.
epilogue
As a compact car priced at about 200,000 yuan, Lynk & Co 03+ has gained a lot of attention since entering the market, which is not only the first domestically produced fastest fuel car, but also the first domestic compact car with a price of 200,000 yuan to break the "ceiling" of 200,000 yuan. It is also because it is an independent brand, Lynk & Co 03+ ushered in a lot of "different" vision after listing, even though it has the acceleration strength of the original factory 6.81 seconds to break 100, and the 81.8km/h elk test into the pile results, but limited by the brand "halo", the audience group of Lynk & Co 03+ is still niche, and the target consumer group of Golf GTI has overlapped. It is undeniable that Lynk & Co 03+ is the most suitable "performance steel cannon" choice outside the Volkswagen Golf GTI, with power, control and comfort, but as a compact family car that lands for more than 200,000 yuan, it is really difficult to associate with the term "cost performance".
