Lynk & Co 05: coupe-style crossover — tech and what to know
Lynk & Co 05 — a coupe-style crossover backed by Geely and Volvo technology, launched in 2020 and primarily sold in China. It's not officially sold in Lithuania, so it's only available as a grey import. We take a look at what you need to know before buying.
05 in brief
Lynk & Co 05 — a mid-sized coupe-style crossover with a sleek roofline and striking front end. It's aimed at a younger audience looking to stand out with design and technology.
The brand is linked to Geely and Volvo tech, so the car uses modern platforms and plenty of electronics. It's primarily sold in China, while other models from the brand are officially offered in Europe.
Why it stands out
The brand is known for its digital experience — the car can be controlled and monitored via an app, and newer models come with a versatile infotainment system. This sets it apart from traditional competitors.
The design is dynamic: low profile, narrow headlights, and expressive bumpers. The interior is modern and minimalist, with a large central screen.
Engines and transmissions
The main engine is a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol, paired with an automatic gearbox. Different markets offer other variants, including hybrid versions.
For precise details — power, gearbox, fuel consumption — check the specific car's documents, as these vary by year and market.
What to check when looking for a 05
The most important thing is the origin and documentation. Grey imports often lack a clear history, so check the VIN, mileage, and actual specification.
Test the multimedia, sensors, cameras, and app functions. Chinese versions often have a Chinese interface, and some features don't work in Europe.
Ask if the car can be registered in Lithuania, who will service it, and if parts are available. Buying without these answers is not recommended.
Trim levels
Trim names in China differ from Europe, so we provide a general description.
