Lynk & Co 06, an entry-level small SUV owned by Lynk & Co, is also the only model built on the BMA architecture of Lynk & Co. For Lynk & Co, Lynk & Co 06 is aimed at the entry market of young people, compared with the rest, Lynk & Co 06 is more affordable to the people, and it has also suffered a lot of complaints in the powertrain.
As the only model of the Lynk & Co brand equipped with a three-cylinder engine, the performance of the Lynk & Co 06 in the design, workmanship and driving texture is at the upper middle level of the same level of models, and the only three-cylinder machine that affects people's purchase confidence, resulting in the tepid market performance of the 06.
As a three-year veteran owner of Lynk & Co 03, I personally believe that this 1.5T three-cylinder engine of Lynk & Co is very good in both power output and overall vibration control. But even the best technology can not suppress the jitter in people's minds, which is the main reason why 03 wants to launch a 2.0T model.
For the Lynk & Co 06, the BMA architecture does not seem to support the vehicle equipped with a 2.0T power combination. Therefore, the Lynk & Co 06 has been on the market for several years, and it can only be forced to carry this 1.5T three-cylinder engine for sale. From the perspective of market performance, from January to March 2022, the sales volume of Lynk & Co 06 was 4100 vehicles, 2100 vehicles and 3700 vehicles, respectively, although such data performance is not so eye-catching, but it is also passable for a new brand such as Lynk & Co.
Just recently, the declaration information of the new model of Lynk & Co 06 was exposed online. In the "visible" place, the new car still continues the design of the current Lynk & Co 06, and there is not much to say. But this time, the biggest attraction of the new 06 is that it is equipped with the BHE15 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine powered by The Geely Raytheon.
What are the advantages of this 1.5T engine code-named BHE15 compared to the current three-cylinder engine? From a technical point of view, this new machine uses the Thor Elos combustion system, coupled with the blessing of 350Bar high-pressure direct injection and small inertia electronic control increase technology, the maximum power of the engine has reached 133Kw, the maximum torque of 290Nm, compared with the current model, the special increase in torque is more obvious. In addition, the 7DCT transmission equipped with the new model will also be adjusted, using Geely's 7DCT EVO 300s model, and the higher transmission efficiency will also make this powertrain have stronger power performance and more economical fuel consumption.
However, speaking of a thousand and ten thousand, for consumers, the biggest upgrade of the new Lynk & Co 06 is the increase in the number of cylinders. This is not only popular with consumers, but also for Lynk & Co. will also play a role in increasing sales. It is believed that this powertrain will not only be installed on Lynk & Co 06 in the future, but even the new 03 and 02 will use this combination as the starting power.
Speaking of which, here's the problem. For consumers, is it the current stage of the bottom of the cash 06 or waiting for the new model? In Lao Wang's view, this question does not need to be entangled at all, the answer is to wait for the new model! After all, the current terminal discount of the current model of Lynk & Co 06 is only 10,000 yuan, in this case, as soon as the four-cylinder model is launched, it is bound to form a fatal blow to the three-cylinder! Especially in the second-hand car market, the retention rate of the three-cylinder 06 or will plummet, rather than buying a three-cylinder cheaper now, it is better to wait until the new four-cylinder model is listed, which is the most rational choice.
