Here are the Lynk & Co 05's 3 available colors in PH

The Lynk & Co. 05 is a fastback sport utility vehicle (SUV) launched sometime last year. 

It appeals to many car buyers thanks to its ability to combine Chinese and Swedish technologies and design — from both Geely and Volvo — resulting in a modern ride that looks to set a new standard in the segment. 

To help interested car buyers get to know more about the Lynk & Co. 05, here is a quick look at its three available colors, which also happen to represent some of its notable features. 

Gray 

Gray is a color typically linked with dependability and reliability, and these are two important aspects SUV buyers are expecting to get from their vehicle. 

On that note, the Lynk & Co. 05 relies on a solid powertrain system to get its owners from point A to point B without hassle. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine mated to an Aisin eight-speed automatic transmission. 

Below are its power figures: 

Maximum power output (in horsepower)	250
Maximum torque (in Newton-meters)	350

Per the company’s catalog, maximum power is reached at 5,500 revolutions per minute (rpm) while peak torque can be attained at 4,800 rpm. Top speed is at 230 kilometers per hour (kph) with a zero to 100 kph acceleration time of 6.7 seconds — not bad for an SUV that carries additional weight and complexity due to its all-wheel drivetrain. 

While the Zigwheels Philippines editorial team is yet to test the power, torque, and driving dynamics of the Lynk & Co. 05, the abovementioned numbers appear to endow the SUV some decent capabilities not just for zooming from a standstill in stop-and-go city driving, but also for executing overtakes on the freeway and maintaining pace on the expressways. 

Complementing the powertrain system is a suite of drive modes, namely Comfort Mode, Sport Mode, Off-road Mode, and Eco Mode. 

Further, the vehicle is capable of sending power to all four wheels thanks to its Borg Warner all-wheel drive system — allowing owners to go farther than the average SUV could. 

Having powertrain and drivetrain components from reputable manufacturers such as Aisin and Borg Warner is a plus, especially for enthusiasts who understand what these names stand for. 

Halts and deceleration are facilitated by ventilated disc brakes — front and back. These ensure smooth yet adequate stopping power for both slow and fast-paced situations. An electronic parking brake handles stationary braking to keep the Lynk & Co. 05 in place. 

As for its suspension system, the SUV relies on a MacPherson strut setup at the fore (with stabilizer bar) and a multi-link (with stabilizer bar) arrangement at the rear. 

Equipped with the aforementioned appointments, the Lynk & Co. 05 is able to give drivers confidence to go places most SUVs dare not. These components befit its reliable and dependable character, represented by the said gray color.

Its white color easily evokes safety, whether one tackles fast or slow driving conditions. 

Black 

Black is a color that screams style — and the Lynk & Co. 05 is a sleek SUV that will look right at home in urban environments or rural settings. 

At the fore, the SUV wears noticeable illumination, highlighted by what the carmaker calls the “Aurora Borealis” daytime running lights. These are accompanied by headlamps with full LED technology and adaptive front lighting capabilities. Rounding up the lights at the front is a set of LED fog lamps with cornering function. 

Reinforcing its handsome look is a thin grille system. The upper portion is covered by a modern-looking meshwork, while the lower section boasts a latticework with a small square pattern. 

The side profile of the Lynk & Co. 05 is highlighted by flowing bodylines and narrow body claddings. Similar to its sculpted yet elegant bonnet, the front and rear side fenders, as well as the door panels, have sexy contours and aggressive angles that give the SUV an athletic appeal. 

Other notable features include power side mirrors, body-colored door handles, blacked-out wheel arches, and side sill garnishes. It rides on a set of 20-inch two-tone alloy wheels with 235/45 series tires. 

At the back, the SUV offers a striking and sporty look with its fastback rear. This allows the Lynk & Co. 05 to get a large glass at the back for better visibility. As the roof slopes down the electronic tailgate, those admiring the hind side of the vehicle can see its combination taillamps with a garnish at the center. 

It also gets an aggressive-looking twin tailpipes and a diffuser that definitely adds to the model’s character. 

These sporty and sleek elements continue inside the SUV’s cabin. Welcoming the driver is a seat wrapped in  Nappa leather. Likewise, the steering wheel looks like it feels comfortable and luxurious thanks to a leather finish. 

Past the said steering wheel is a 12.3-inch configurable instrument cluster paired with a 12.8-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. 

Both screens offer good visibility and legibility, which we are sure will aid its would-be owners in their daily journeys and weekend adventures. 

For the passengers, they also get seats upholstered in similar leather, a wireless charging pad, a glove box with cooling feature, a dual-zone air conditioning system, a panoramic sunroof, and speakers from Harman Infinity.
