So for friends who like this car, which one is the most suitable to buy? Let’s find out through configuration analysis.
Introduction to model highlights
In terms of appearance, the new Lynk & Co 03 has not changed much overall. The design is still avant-garde and full of personality. The main difference lies in the adjustments in details and configuration. The front face has evolved again based on the family-style design concept of "Urban Opposition Aesthetics". It adopts the aesthetic inspiration officially called "flying by the wind", and re-optimizes the grille and front bumper, with a larger lower The air intake grille shape and the fog lamp design extending to both sides make the new car look more dynamic and sharp.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Lynk & Co 03 are 4680/1843/1460mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2730mm. The size remains unchanged from the old model. The side still looks familiar to us. The rear not only adopts the popular through-type taillights, but the rear surround has also been re-optimized to echo the front of the car and look more layered. At the same time, the two exhaust pipes on both sides are retained, and the shape is very sporty.
In terms of the interior, the new car has also not changed much. The air-conditioning outlets and central control screen have been mainly upgraded, and a large number of soft materials are used with suede material covering, making the overall texture very excellent. In addition, the size of the floating central control screen has been upgraded to 12.8 inches, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, the hard drive has been upgraded to 128G, and the computing power of the new Lynk & Co OS system has been increased by 300%. The interface operation process, and most functions can be used through the AI voice assistant to control.
In terms of power, the new 1.5T hybrid version of the new Lynk & Co 03 is also a highlight, replacing the previous 1.5T pure fuel version. Lynk & Co 03 EM-F adopts a dual-motor series-parallel structure. The P1 motor integrated in the 3-speed DHT Pro transmission has a maximum power of 60kW and a maximum torque of 180N·m. It is mainly responsible for generating electricity and starting/stopping the engine. The maximum power of the P2 motor is 100kW and the maximum torque is 320N·m, it can accelerate to 100 kilometers in 7.2 seconds, and consumes only 4.5L of fuel per 100 kilometers under WLTC conditions. A Drive-E 2.0TD T5 engine is also provided, with a maximum power of 187kW and a peak torque of 350N·m. This power is the power of the old 03+, and the power performance has been upgraded. The transmission part is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.
Car body color design
In terms of body color, the new Lynk & Co 03 has 4 car color options, namely dawn blue, white, black and gray. Among them, gray is a new color, which is only available on the 2.0T model. Dawn Blue is an exclusive color for the 1.5T hybrid model. In terms of interior, the new car currently only offers a black color scheme option, which is relatively common in family cars of this level.
In terms of tires, except for the 2.0T entry-level Plus version, which is equipped with 17-inch tires, all other models are equipped with 18-inch tires. However, the "03 performance upgrade package" can be optionally installed on the 2.0T Jin Pro and Jin Halo models, which includes 19-inch Continental tires and exhaust sound valves.
Configuration analysis of each vehicle type
In terms of configuration, the new 03 offers 1.5T hybrid and 2.0T model options. The 1.5T hybrid has two configurations, namely 1.5T EM-F AM and 1.5T EM-F PM; and The 2.0T has three configurations, namely Jin Plus, Jin Pro and Jin Halo. For the 1.5T hybrid model, although the displacement is lower than that of the 2.0T, the price is higher than that of the 2.0T Jin Plus, so next we will introduce the 1.5T hybrid and 2.0T models separately.
The 1.5T EM-F AM is the entry-level model of the 1.5T hybrid version, priced at 157,800 yuan, and its configuration is not shabby. Equipped with 18-inch tires, LED headlights, 360-degree panoramic images, electronic handbrake, openable panoramic sunroof, multi-function steering wheel, 12.8-inch central control screen, etc. In addition, in terms of safety configuration, all series are equipped with front side airbags and front/rear head airbags as standard. The number of airbags is the same as that of the top model, which is not reduced due to the lower configuration, which is more sincere. Therefore, for the entry-level configuration of the 1.5T hybrid version, the configuration is very generous, and it is completely sufficient for daily driving. However, considering that the 1.5T EM-F AM is 3,000 yuan more expensive than the 2.0T entry-level model, for those who pay attention to performance, the power of this model may not be enough to attract you.
Compared with the 1.5T EM-F AM, which is 15,000 yuan more expensive, you can choose the 1.5T EM-F PM model. The power performance and basic configuration of this model remain unchanged, and it mainly adds some smart technologies, including a full-speed adaptive cruise system, A set of L2 driving assistance systems consisting of front/rear collision warning and lane keeping, etc.At the same time, it also provides some convenient configurations such as adaptive high and low beam headlights, exterior rearview mirrors that automatically flip down when reversing, and front seat heating/ventilation, which are suitable for friends who have requirements for configurations. However, considering that some configurations are not practical, this model is not particularly recommended.
Let’s take a look at the 2.0T version, which is available in three configurations: Jin Plus, Jin Pro and Jin Halo. Jin PLus is the lowest-priced model in the entire series, but its configuration does not lower the price. Such as reversing image, LED headlights, openable panoramic sunroof, keyless entry, electric adjustment of front seats, and other multi-function steering wheels, etc. Even the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument is not absent. Except for the different engine, it is very close to the 1.5T EM-F AM.
Compared with the 1.5T EM-F AM, it only lacks 360 panoramic images, mobile phone wireless charging, and Infinity audio. The only obvious configuration shortcoming of this car is that it is equipped with 17-inch tires, which is slightly weaker in momentum. But fortunately, optional 18-inch tires are available, and the price is only 1,000 yuan. Personally, I feel that if you have a limited budget and focus on practicality, then this model is enough.
The Jin Pro is 12,000 yuan more expensive than the Qijin Plus. The configuration improvements are almost the same as those of the 1.5T EM-F PM. It mainly adds a set of driving assistance systems and some convenient and comfortable configurations. The overall configuration performance is relatively balanced, without Obviously shortcomings; at the same time, this model can also be equipped with 19-inch tires. Therefore, for friends who pay attention to performance and configuration, it is recommended to choose this model without regrets.
As for the last model, Jin Halo, as the top model of the entire series, is 10,000 yuan more expensive than Jin Pro. The main change is that it further strengthens the technological configuration, adding matrix headlights, AR real-life navigation, and HUD heads-up display As well as automatic parking and other functions, in comparison, the overall configuration has not been significantly improved, and some configurations are not practical, so this part of the money can be saved.
Editor’s comment: Taken together, the price range among the five configurations launched in the new 03 is not large. In fact, it is not difficult to make a judgment based on the budget. Among them, the launch of the 1.5T hybrid version provides an option for those who pay attention to economy, but the price is not far away from the 2.0T. As for my personal suggestion, because the Lynk & Co 03 is a car that focuses on sporty handling, it is necessary to consider the 2.0T version first. In the 2.0T version, the entry-level Jin Plus is cost-effective. It is not only cheap, but the configuration is not shabby. It is enough for daily commuting to work and suitable for friends with a limited budget; the Jin Pro configuration has the most balanced performance and has no obvious shortcomings in technology configuration. The Jin Halo version, as the top version, adds automatic parking, HUD head-up display and other functions, and pays more attention to the comfortable experience, but many configurations are not practical. For friends with sufficient budget, it is better to wait for the 03+ model.
