MIAS 2024: Lynk and Co PH makes public debut

MANILA: Following its official launch last month, Lynk and Co Philippines has made its public debut at the Manila International Auto Show 2024.

Up until today, the Chinese automaker’s local — under the official distributorship of the United Asia Auto Group Incorporated (UAAGI) — is being showcased to the public with its expanded lineup.

The current lineup is now made up of three badges namely the 01 and 06 as well as the newly-revealed 05.

Per Lynk and Co Philippines, the newly-launched fastback is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo gasoline mill in an all-wheel-drive orientation and comes with premium appointments. It wears a price tag of P2.748 million.

Meanwhile, the Lynk and Co 01 is a plug-in hybrid vehicle that features a 1.5-liter engine with electric motor and a battery that can be juiced up using AC Type 2 Charger. The mill is matched to a seven-speed wet dual clutch transmission.

The powertrain can deliver 260 horses with 265 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque, while its all-electric range is up to 69 kilometers. It is priced at P2.338 million.

Lastly, the Lynk and Co 06 is propelled by a 1.5 liter 4-cylinder gasoline direct injection turbo engine with wet type dual clutch automatic transmission that has the capability to dish out up to 170 horsepower and 265 Nm of pulling power.

Offered in two variants namely the Hyper Pro and Hyper Halo, the sport utility vehicle can be had for P1.488 million and P1.598 million.

Aside from the three models, the company also highlighted the motorsport-bred Lynk and Co 03+.

The sport sedan is a six-time World Tour Car Cup (WTCR) champion that shattered two lap records at the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 2019.
