Lynk & Co has collected over 6000 pieces of feedback from its customers to shape the 02, its first “full-EV” unveiled today in Milan. The 02 is a hatchback with aerodynamic shapes, designed in Gothenburg by the global design studio Lynk & Co directed by Stefan Ros\u00e9n. “Our users have a very high awareness of design and therefore high demands on quality and premium experience, and they also wanted more fun technology. Our design team took this into account from the very beginning,” says Ros\u00e9n, explaining that the 02 is also the result of the second-generation Lynk & Co design language, based on what was expressed in The Next Day concept car. “The 02 is a new type of car, with a design without borders, bold and dynamic but very spacious and practical. We were inspired by fashion, technology and architecture to embody the urban spirit of the “feel electric”. At the heart of everything we do at Lynk & Co, there is simplicity, openness and timelessness.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The 02 is 4.46 m long, 1.84 m wide, 1.57 m tall (wheelbase 2.75 m). It is built on Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) and has a 66kWh NMC lithium-ion battery, enabling up to 445 km of zero-emission driving on a single charge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The exterior design of Lynk & Co 02 is characterized by bold, modern lines and a dynamic silhouette. The grille is minimalist and equipped with an active shutter that contributes to the high efficiency of the 02. A crisp design line of the “The Next Day” concept runs across the front of the car like a beam of light, gently guiding the eye along the side of the coupe crossover. The lower part features a technical look with the high-gloss black active air intake at the front, floor-level side paneling, futuristic wheels and robust wheel arches. Instead, the top section exudes a softer, human-centric feel with an elegantly tapered rear end that creates a dynamic profile, emphasizing that the 02 is more than just a coupe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In the cabin, the two-layer dashboard is positioned forward to enhance the 02’s sense of spaciousness. A flowing line on top of the panel is reminiscent of an airplane wing, extending seamlessly to pass through doors. The aircraft-inspired oval steering wheel continues the “aerodramatic” theme of the exterior on the inside. The highlight is of course the on-board technology, with a 14.5-inch HD screen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":67063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[2697],"class_list":["post-67072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-lynkco-02-en"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-25 20:02:16","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
