Upon its market debut, the Lynk & Co 02 will be the all-electric component that helps the brand solidify its "New Premium" positioning and complete its diverse product range in Vietnam. Previously, Lynk & Co offered internal combustion engine (ICE), mild-hybrid, and EM-P super hybrid (plug-in hybrid) models.

Ms. Nguyen Huyen Linh from Dong Da, Hanoi, praised the Lynk & Co 02's unique aesthetic design. She stated that as soon as information about the car's display became available, she was interested and visited the Lynk & Co Pham Van Dong showroom to learn more.

"Our family is looking to buy a second car, so we came to see the new Lynk & Co 02 directly. The car has a European-inspired design, and the details are finished to a high standard, matching contemporary fashion tastes", Ms. Huyen Linh shared. "Lynk & Co is a new brand, but the 02 model was first sold in Europe, so my husband and I are confident in it. I have visited several places to look at electric vehicles in the same price range, but the 02 is the model that evoked the most emotion and left the strongest impression".

Lynk & Co's first all-electric model is currently displayed at some showrooms in Hanoi and TP HCM. There is no specific version or official price yet. However, according to a sales consultant at Lynk & Co Pham Van Dong, the e-SUV will have two versions, with an estimated price of about 900 million dong. The company has already accepted initial deposits from customers.

A representative from Lynk & Co Vietnam stated that since its official display at key showrooms nationwide, the e-SUV has attracted many users, especially young customers who appreciate fashion. The company plans to launch this first all-electric model at a special event in Hanoi.

Highlights of the upcoming Lynk & Co 02 in Vietnam

The Lynk & Co 02 first launched globally in Milan, Italy, marking the sale of the brand's first all-electric model in the European market. The company positions the vehicle as a strategic global e-SUV during its phase of electrification acceleration.

The Lynk & Co 02 measures 4,460 mm in length, 1,845 mm in width, and 1,573 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,755 mm. These specifications place the 02's wheelbase on par with C-segment models like the Hyundai Tucson and BYD Sealion 6, while its overall length and width are comparable to B+-segment vehicles such as the Toyota Corolla Cross and BYD Atto 3.

The 02 features the second-generation "The Next Day" design language. It incorporates flowing lines at the front and C-pillar, combined with characteristic daytime running lights inspired by the Aurora Borealis phenomenon. The rear spoiler of the Lynk & Co 02 illuminates with an integrated 1,463 mm long taillight. This detail is composed of 14 LED chips, providing 1,200 nit brightness, and performs three functions simultaneously: welcome, goodbye, and a flowing turn signal effect.

The Lynk & Co 02's interior boasts a minimalist style, aiming for a premium experience similar to models like the 08 or Lynk & Co 900. The company has minimized mechanical buttons, with a 15.4-inch, 2.5K central infotainment screen controlling most vehicle functions. The audio system features 14 Harman Kardon speakers with 1,600 W output and surround sound technology.

Passengers are supported by ergonomically designed Comfort seats, constructed from eight layers of slow-rebound material. This design ensures pressure from the back, shoulders, neck, and head is evenly distributed, promising relaxation for users on long journeys.

Lynk & Co states that the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) intelligent electrified chassis platform used on the 02 was researched and developed over five years, involving more than 2,000 engineers and a total investment exceeding 2.65 billion USD. This platform has been adopted by over 18 models across global brands such as Volvo, Smart, Polestar, Zeekr, and Lynk & Co.

As a result, the Lynk & Co 02 achieved the highest 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP.

The urban all-electric model features a rear-axle motor, delivering the equivalent of 268 horsepower and 343 Nm of torque. Instant acceleration upon pressing the pedal allows the 02 to go from 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. A 66 kWh battery provides a range of 435 km on a full charge (WLTP). With a fast charger, battery capacity increases from 10-80% in 30 minutes, allowing the vehicle to travel an additional 325 km, according to the company.

The Lynk & Co 02 enters the Vietnamese market amid rapid growth in the all-electric vehicle segment over the past two years, with increasing competition, particularly from Chinese brands. Experts believe the Lynk & Co 02 will carve out a unique identity in its segment due to its European design and chassis platform, targeting young, tech-savvy, and fashion-conscious urban users who frequently travel within the city.

Furthermore, the increasingly comprehensive charging station infrastructure is a key factor driving Lynk & Co to introduce the 02 to Vietnam. As part of its strategy to boost electrified vehicle lines, Lynk & Co Vietnam aims for 100% charging station coverage at showrooms and facilities within the Tasco Auto ecosystem nationwide. By early June 2026, the company and its partners had already operated 35 DC charging stations. Esky, a major partner of Tasco Auto, has deployed 35 charging stations nationwide, including 23 DC and 12 AC stations.
