Lynk & Co

Lynk & Co (领克) is a Chinese automobile brand created by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group and launched in 2016. It was conceived as a premium, youth-focused marque positioned above Geely's mainstream models and developed in cooperation with Volvo Cars, whose technology and platforms Geely also controls. The brand's first model, the 01 compact SUV, went on sale in China in 2017, followed by a rapid expansion of the lineup. Lynk & Co sells a range of SUVs, sedans and, more recently, electrified and battery-electric models. Its product naming uses simple two-digit numbers (01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 08, 09) plus the 03+ performance variant, and the brand has moved into plug-in hybrids and full electric vehicles. The company markets itself on design, connectivity and a subscription-style ownership model, and it operates its own retail and online sales channels rather than relying solely on traditional dealerships. Internationally, Lynk & Co entered Europe with a subscription-focused model and has expanded into several European markets. The brand is part of Geely's broader portfolio, which also includes Geely Auto, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Zeekr and Lotus. Lynk & Co vehicles share platforms and powertrain technology with Volvo and Geely models, which the brand uses as a selling point for safety and engineering credibility. The subject entity, 领克汽车销售有限公司 (Lynk & Co Automobile Sales Co., Ltd.), is the sales and distribution company for the Lynk & Co brand in China. It handles vehicle sales, dealer and channel management, and customer service for the brand. The brand remains active and continues to launch new models, including electrified variants, as part of Geely's push into new-energy vehicles.

Lynk & Co was established in 2016 as a joint initiative of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group and Volvo Cars. The brand was designed to fill the space between Geely's mass-market cars and Volvo's premium offerings, targeting younger buyers with a focus on connectivity, design and alternative ownership models. Its vehicles were developed on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) co-developed by Geely and Volvo, which underpins several models from both brands. The first production model, the Lynk & Co 01 compact SUV, was unveiled in 2016 and launched in China in 2017. It was followed by the 02 crossover, the 03 sedan and the 03+ performance sedan, expanding the range quickly. The brand also introduced the 05 coupe-SUV, the 06 small SUV and later the larger 09 SUV, giving it coverage across several segments. In Europe, Lynk & Co launched with a subscription-based model, initially in the Netherlands and Sweden, and later expanded to other markets. The brand positioned itself around flexible monthly subscriptions and a membership model rather than traditional ownership, alongside online sales and physical club-style retail spaces. As the industry shifted toward electrification, Lynk & Co introduced plug-in hybrid versions across its lineup and later fully electric models. The 08 SUV, launched in 2023, was a key plug-in hybrid model for the brand in China. Lynk & Co operates within Geely's broader portfolio alongside Geely Auto, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Zeekr and Lotus, and shares technology and platforms across these brands. The sales entity 领克汽车销售有限公司 handles the brand's vehicle sales and distribution in China, managing dealer networks and customer channels. The brand remains active and continues to expand its electrified lineup as part of Geely's new-energy vehicle strategy.
