Linktour

Linktour (also written Link Tour) is an automobile marque from the People's Republic of China dedicated to new-energy vehicles for urban mobility. The brand positions itself as a "global boutique smart NEV brand for urban mobility," putting users at the centre and treating products as the medium for dynamic, intelligent city living. Its visual identity is built around a geometric aluminium-block array, which the company describes as aluminium blocks extending like galactic trajectories into the cosmos, tracing a "Path to the Future." The marque has had two distinct lives. It was first used from 2018 to 2019 by Link Tour Holdings, a joint venture between Lingtu Automobile and Great Wall Motor. Sales during that period were low, production was halted and the company was dissolved. Lingtu Automobile revived the brand name from 2023 to present new models, and since November 2024 vehicles of the marque have again been available. In 2024, 308 vehicles were sold in China. At the International Motor Show (IAA) in Munich in September 2025, the manufacturer also presented a model for Europe. Linktour's current line-up centres on the Alumi, a lightweight vehicle in the L6e and L7e classes that was exhibited at the IAA in September 2025. The brand markets an Alumi and an Alumi Elite variant, and its website highlights aluminium construction, user-friendly design and stylish comfort for everyday urban commuting. Earlier and parallel products include the K-One (available 2018–2019), the announced but never-launched BX100, C3, C5 and S5 City Edition, the Befine (shown in early 2025, a small electric model related to the BAW Jiabao), the E-M8 and M8 vans sold since November 2024, and the F10 presented in early 2025. Internationally, Linktour has been expanding. Its own newsroom reports a United Kingdom premiere and participation in the British Motor Show, entry into seven international markets, and a Red Dot Award 2026 for the Alumi. The brand's dealer network page lists dealers in Belgium, Bulgaria, Cambodia, France, Egypt, the Netherlands and Romania, and the site is localised for numerous European markets plus mainland China. The company invites partners to "Become A Partner" and "Join Us," signalling a dealer- and partnership-led distribution strategy for its boutique urban EVs.

Linktour is an automobile marque from the People's Republic of China. Its history falls into two phases separated by a period of dormancy. The brand was first used from 2018 to 2019 by Link Tour Holdings, a joint venture between Lingtu Automobile and Great Wall Motor. Sales during this first phase remained low. Production was stopped and the company was dissolved. Between 2018 and 2019 the K-One was the model available; further announced models such as the BX100, C3, C5 and S5 City Edition were intended for launch in 2019 but never reached the market. Lingtu Automobile reused the brand name from 2023 to present new models. An initial market launch was not initially documented. In July 2023 it was reported that a new electric model would appear under the name Colorful or Binfen, largely corresponding to the BAW Jiabao from Beijing Automobile Works; the vehicle was said to be 3,532 mm long, 1,498 mm wide and 1,605 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,275 mm. In early 2025 this model was shown on the brand's website as the Befine, with identical dimensions. Since November 2024, vehicles of the marque have again been available. The vans E-M8 and M8 have been sold since November 2024. The E-M8 has an electric motor producing 90 kW; the vehicle is 524 cm long, 187 cm wide and 195 cm high. The M8 has a four-cylinder engine of 1,962 cm³ displacement and 106 kW, with the same dimensions as the BAW M7. In early 2025 the F10 model was also presented on the brand's website. In 2024, 308 vehicles of the brand were sold in China. At the International Motor Show (IAA) in September 2025 in Munich, the manufacturer presented a model for Europe: the Alumi, a lightweight vehicle in the L6e and L7e classes. The brand's own communications describe it as a global new-energy vehicle brand for boutique urban mobility, built around aluminium construction and stylish, user-friendly design. Its newsroom reports a United Kingdom premiere and participation at the British Motor Show, entry into seven international markets, and a Red Dot Award 2026 for the Alumi. The dealer network page lists dealers in Belgium, Bulgaria, Cambodia, France, Egypt, the Netherlands and Romania, and the website is localised for numerous European markets as well as mainland China.
