Automobile enthusiast news outlets reported on October 17th that the latest Lynk & Co 03 family of vehicles has officially launched. The new Lynk & Co 03 series offers four distinct models， with prices ranging from 121，800 to 156，800 RMB. For a limited time， these models are available at a discounted price of 103，800 to 138，800 RMB. In parallel， the new Lynk & Co 03+ lineup introduces three models， with prices spanning from 238，800 to 420，300 RMB.
The exterior design continues to embrace the “Wind Hunter” frontal styling of the current generation， featuring a distinctive split headlight configuration. The headlight units integrate seamlessly with side air ducts， while the dual-layer grille design is more aggressive， enhancing the overall sporty aesthetic. The addition of the “03” emblem on the front fascia further accentuates the vehicle’s dynamic presence.
In terms of dimensions， the new models measure 4700mm (or 4710mm) in length， 1843mm in width， and 1460mm in height， with a wheelbase of 2730mm. A notable addition is the new 18-inch dynamic “Blade” alloy wheels， contributing to the vehicle’s stylish profile.
The rear of the vehicle features a newly sculpted “Blade” design. The rear bumper maintains its sporty character and incorporates a larger rear spoiler， enhancing the visual emphasis on the rear’s dynamic stance. The dual exhaust outlets are retained， reinforcing the performance-oriented design.
The interior offers a choice of three color schemes: “Fiery Red，” “Pure White，” and “Obsidian Black.” It is equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster， a 15.4-inch central infotainment screen， and a 25.6-inch AR-HUD (Augmented Reality Head-Up Display) for navigation. The infotainment system is powered by the LYNK Flyme Auto， and the cabin is further enhanced by the Lynk Sound “Lingjing” 7.1 surround sound system.
New instrument cluster themes are designed to match different driving modes， and the stepless， dynamic ambient lighting that pulses with music creates an immersive driving experience. The integrated sporty bucket seats have been improved for enhanced bolstering and comfort.
Higher trim levels of the standard Lynk & Co 03 series will also feature the “Qianli Haohan” driver-assistance system， including NOA (Navigation On Autopilot) for highways， as well as a distinctive “Little Blue Light” indicator.
In terms of powertrain， the new Lynk & Co 03 continues to offer two options: a 1.5T engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission， and a 2.0T engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 1.5T engine produces a maximum power of 133 kW and a peak torque of 290 Nm， remaining unchanged. This powertrain is aimed at providing a balance of efficiency and performance for everyday driving scenarios.
The 2.0T version is equipped with a high-output turbocharged engine (the same as found in the previous Lynk & Co 03+)， with its maximum power increased from 187 kW to 200 kW. The peak torque has also been boosted by 50 Nm to 400 Nm. Mated to an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission， the 0-100 km/h acceleration time has been reduced from 6.9 seconds to a more spirited 6.5 seconds. This significant performance upgrade positions the 2.0T Lynk & Co 03 as a compelling option for drivers seeking a more dynamic driving experience in its segment.
For the new Lynk & Co 03+， the exterior is further enhanced with the addition of a matte gray body color option. Buyers can also opt for a wide-body kit， which includes wider front fenders， brake cooling ducts， a carbon fiber rear spoiler， and wider front tires. Additionally， a carbon fiber aerodynamic package is available， featuring a carbon fiber dual-vented engine hood and a carbon fiber roof. These enhancements collectively aim to elevate the track-inspired appeal and aerodynamic performance of the top-tier models.
The Lynk & Co 03+ will continue to be powered by a 2.0T engine with optional supercharging. Its maximum power output will be available in two configurations: 227 kW and 257 kW， with peak torque figures of 420 Nm and 450 Nm respectively. Both configurations will be paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Notably， the Performance Advanced Edition and Racing Edition will feature all-wheel drive， while the TCR Edition will maintain its front-wheel-drive layout. This tiered powertrain and drivetrain strategy caters to a range of performance enthusiasts， from those seeking spirited driving dynamics to dedicated track-day participants.
