Lynk & Co 06: pros and cons

The Lynk & Co 06 is now out for the Philippine market following its local launch at the 2024 Manila International Auto Show. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What is the price range of the Lynk & Co 06 in the Philippines?

    In the Philippines, the Lynk & Co 06 has a price ranging from P1.299 million-P1.598 million.
  • What are the available variants of the Philippine-spec Lynk & Co 06?

    The Philippine-spec Lynk & Co 06’s available variants are the Hyper Core Plus, Hyper Pro, and the top-spec Hyper Halo.
  • Per the marque, the said model has struck a good balance between comfort, performance, and style. Plus, the luxury-feeling ride also has a relatively affordable starting price of P1.299 million, so there’s no doubt that many might be eye-balling the model for their next big car purchase. 

    The question now is: what are the strengths and weaknesses of the Lynk & Co 06 crossover? Let’s list the aforementioned down to aid folks who are looking to add the model to their respective car-buying shortlists. 

    Pros of Lynk & Co 06

    Attractive styling inside-out

    At a glance, the Lynk & Co 06 crossover is a stylish, head-turning ride. 

    Up front, it sports the brand’s signature “Aurora Borealis” daytime running lamps and its “Mega-city Contrast” fascia. Topping the aforementioned off is a sculpted hood, which leads to a gently sloping windshield. The said viewport, along with the relatively slim A-pillars provides good forward visibility for the driver.

    Additionally, the windshield also leads to a black-colored roof, which is supported by black-colored window pillars. The result is a two-toned color look, providing the ride with a sportier appeal. 

    Likewise fitted on the side of the 06 are black plastic claddings usually found on modern crossovers. The said claddings make the ride look more planted, while the relatively smooth doors and subtle character lines contribute to the model’s sleekness. 

    Over towards the rear, it bears the “Energy Cube” taillights, which utilize a pair of C-shaped side-wrapping LED design elements. Plus, the vehicle also sports an angular lower rear bumper, a roof-mounted spoiler, and a dual-tip exhaust setup. 

    Brimming with tech

    Equipped as standard on all three Lynk & Co 06 variations is a 12.3-inch central infotainment screen, as well as a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster.

    Considering the starting price of the model’s entry-level trim, those generously sized screens mean great value for the money, especially for tech geeks.

    Moreover, the infotainment system’s integrated music player was ensured to have good sound quality thanks to a six-piece speaker set. Users who are not fond of fixing tangled charging cables can also enjoy the presence of a wireless charging pad, at least on the top-spec 06 Hyper Halo

    Safety for the 06, on the other hand, is primarily addressed by a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS).

    Notable technologies belonging to the said suite are autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane change assist, blind-spot detection, rear-cross traffic alert, rear collision warning, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise control, among others. 

    To note, the adaptive cruise control of the 06 comes with a queuing assistant. As such, it is capable of being used to reduce long-distance driving fatigue and lessen the humdrum of driving in stop-and-go traffic.

    Providing additional peace of mind for the 06’s occupants is an array of standard safety bits such as dual front airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, anti-rollover protection, traction control, stability control, and anti-lock braking.

    Driving the vehicle day-to-day is also made easier thanks to a tire pressure monitor, ISOFIX child seat anchors, smart entry, rear parking sensors, and a parking camera. 

    Peppy four-banger

    When compared to many other similarly-sized crossovers in the market right now, the 06 sits quite high on the hierarchy of engine outputs. 

    For reference, the model’s 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 gasoline engine can produce a healthy 178 horsepower and 290 Newton-meters of torque. The said output is, of course, more than enough to make the ride feel peppy and athletic in most driving situations.

    Additionally, the model gets the benefit of using a seven-speed wet-type dual-clutch gearbox, which is known to provide responsive shifting and less power loss. The model likewise depends on a rear multi-link independent suspension system, which may lead to a more engaging driving feel compared to other crossovers fitted with the less advanced torsion-beam type rear suspension system. 

    Cons of Lynk & Co 06

    Looks too similar to stablemates

    While the 06 on its own can appear attractive to a lot of potential adopters, it does look quite similar to its other Lynk & Co stablemates. It does have some unique cuts and details enabling it to stand out, but folks who are unfamiliar with the marque may easily mistake it for the 01 or the 05

    Lynk & Co 06 Pricing

    Currently, the Lynk & Co 06 is available in the Philippine market with three distinct variants. The entry-level 06 Hyper Core Plus is priced at P1.299 million, while the mid-spec 06 Hyper Pro is priced at P1.488 million. The top-spec 06 Hyper Halo, meanwhile, retails at P1.598 million.
