Introducing the Lynk & Co 02: A Premium, Sporty e-SUV

Lynk & Co’s first fully electric vehicle: The 02 E-SUV showcased at the Lynk & Co Urban Playground

The main highlight at the Lynk & Co Urban Playground is the launch of the much-anticipated Lynk & Co 02: a premium, sporty, e-SUV, and Lynk & Co Philippines’ first fully electric vehicle offering. This sleek and attractive coupe fastback is set to challenge the local EV market with its exceptional product specifications, sporty driving dynamics, refined interior and finishings, and ergonomic European design.

The Lynk & Co 02 boasts a long driving range of 435 km (WLTP) on a full charge, and can charge from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes. Its powerful electric motor propels it from 0-100 kph in a mere 5.5 seconds thanks to a 272Ps and 343 Nm of torque. The 02’s aerodynamic design, with a drag coefficient of 0.25 Cd thanks to 13 drag-reduction optimizations, enhances battery efficiency and extends its range. 

The 02’s exterior showcases Lynk & Co’s new “The Next Day” design language, complete with Dynamic Day Rays LED Daytime Running Lights, Megacity Horizon LED Tail Lights, and a Black Diamond Panoramic, UV Coated, Glass Roof. Inside, the 02 offers seats made from recycled PET plastic, and features Wireless Apple CarPlay (wireless Android Auto available June 2025.) Passengers will enjoy the immersive sound of a 14-speaker Harman Kardon Audio System, and a remarkably quiet cabin thanks to excellent NVH engineering.

Just like all Lynk & Co models safety is paramount. A 540-degree all around view camera and 16-point ADAS with both passive and active safety complements comply with stringent safety and collision standards. The Lynk & Co 02 comes with a 150,000 km or 5-year vehicle warranty, whichever comes first. 

The Lynk & Co 02 Premium Sporty E-SUV price starts at Php 1,788,000.00, offering a compelling value proposition, delivering premium features, technology, and design without the premium price tag of other luxury brands.
