Another brand under UAAGI’s portfolio, Lynk & Co was introduced to the Philippine market in March 2024 — just a few days ahead of BAIC’s local relaunch.

The Chinese marque is now offering five nameplates namely:

While it still has one dealership (Tesla BGC Experience Center), the company has established numerous charging points for its vehicles in various establishments.
