The exterior of the 02 features an aerodynamically optimized front end with split lighting units and an active shutter intake. It also boasts a panoramic glass roof, a two-tone paint job, and 19- or 20-inch wheels. Flush-mounted door handles and a prominent rear spoiler with integrated taillights complete the sleek look.
The Lynk & Co 02 measures 4460 mm long, 1845 mm wide, and 1573 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2755 mm. It's the same length as a Toyota Corolla Cross but has a 117 mm longer wheelbase.
One unique feature of the 02 is the "hey honk" function. It's a customizable sound for friendly interactions with pedestrians and other road users. Testing has shown it's a preferable alternative to the typical startling horn sound.
Inside, the 02 has a minimalist cabin with a two-tier dashboard. The steering wheel has an aircraft-inspired design. There's a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.4-inch infotainment system. The interior uses recycled materials, translucent materials, and speckled accents.
The 02 is built on Geely's Sustainable Experience Architecture. It's powered by a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 272 hp (200 kW) and 343 Nm of torque. The motor gets its juice from a 66 kWh NMC lithium-ion battery.
Performance-wise, the 02 can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds and has a top speed of 180 km/h. It has a range of up to 445 km on a single charge. Fast charging at 150 kW DC can take the battery from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes.
Some of the highlighted safety features are automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, front/rear cross traffic alert, intelligent cruise control, auto lane change assist, and blind spot detection.
The new model is currently available to order and pricing starts at €35,495 in Italy. However, in most other countries – including Germany, France, and the Netherlands – it begins at €35,995.
