Greenlynk Automotives, a division of Tasco Auto and the official distributor of Lynk & Co in Vietnam, is preparing to introduce the brand's first all-electric vehicle to the domestic market. The Lynk & Co 02 will expand the company's diverse product range in Vietnam, offering consumers more choices, including traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, mild hybrids, and high-performance EM-P hybrids.

The Lynk & Co 02 made its global debut in the European market, achieving a 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP. The company positions the 02 as an e-SUV within its global electrification strategy, noting its compact size and meticulously crafted design.

The Lynk & Co 02 boasts a high-riding coupe-style design with a gracefully sloping C-pillar. Its overall body features rounded lines, creating a minimalist and fashionable aesthetic, derived from the second-generation "The Next Day" design language.

Lynk & Co's signature daytime running lights draw inspiration from the aurora borealis. The rear spoiler illuminates, integrating a long taillight strip measuring 1,463 mm. This light unit consists of 14 LED chips with a brightness of 1,200 nits, performing three functions simultaneously: welcome, farewell, and dynamic turn signals.

The sporty character of the Lynk & Co 02 is evident in its frameless windows and frameless rearview mirrors. According to the company, the vehicle's wheelbase-to-overall-length ratio is approximately 61,8%, a figure comparable to the Golden Ratio in aesthetics. The 02's drag coefficient is 0,25 Cd, on par with low-slung sports sedans.

The all-electric crossover measures 4,460 mm in length, 1,845 mm in width, and 1,573 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,755 mm. These dimensions position the Lynk & Co 02's wheelbase similarly to C-segment vehicles, while its overall length and width are comparable to B+-segment models.

Lynk & Co states that the SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) intelligent electric platform used in the 02 was researched and developed over 5 years with the involvement of over 2,000 engineers and a total investment exceeding 2.65 billion USD. This platform has been implemented across more than 18 models from global brands such as Volvo, Smart, Polestar, Zeekr, and Lynk & Co.

The interior of the Lynk & Co 02 features a minimalist style, aiming for a premium experience found in higher-segment models. It includes a 15.4-inch central infotainment screen with 2.5K resolution. The Infinity Light interior lighting system comprises 63 LED lights and 63 individual control chips. Users can select from 256 color options and 11 dynamic lighting effects.

Additionally, the car features Comfort seats, constructed from 8 layers of material with a slow-rebound structure to reduce body pressure, enhancing comfort for drivers and passengers during daily commutes. The Harman Kardon sound system includes 14 speakers with a power output of 1,600 W.

The Lynk & Co 02 is powered by an electric motor delivering 268 horsepower and 343 Nm of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. Its 66 kWh battery pack provides a range of up to 435 km on a single full charge, according to WLTP standards. The company states the vehicle can charge from 10-80% in approximately 30 minutes, which translates to an additional 325 km of range.

Currently, Lynk & Co dealerships nationwide are accepting deposits for the all-electric 02 model, though specific pricing has not yet been announced. The Lynk & Co 02 is expected to be available in two versions, imported as complete units from China.
