Lynk & Co 02 Hatchback, Isn’t this a car that I only tested last year?
Yes, but this time, it's a little different.
In March this year, Lynk & Co launched two new models,
If you only look at the car name, huh? This is just a low-configuration version of 02 Hatchback. What's the difference? However, the facts are not that simple.
is different from the 02 Hatchback Halo driving control kit version we tested last year. Plus and Pro use a 2.0T low-power version of the engine, is the corresponding T4 power in the Volvo power naming system. Compared with the Halo version of the same model (Volvo T5), its horsepower has been reduced from 254 horsepower to 190 horsepower, peak torque has been reduced from 350N·m to 300N·m, has been accelerated from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers to from nominal 6.2 seconds to 7.8 seconds, and the 8-speed AT automatic transmission matching has also been replaced with an
The low-power high-end Pro version we got this time is only 14,000 . The comfort configurations of the two cars are almost exactly the same. The price difference of 14,000 is completely reflected in the difference in the power system. So the question is, is the Pro version worth it?
From the book, I think it is not worth it, especially for a performance controller. It costs 14,000 more to get 64 horsepower and 50N·m of torque. This is a cost-effective transaction no matter how you look at it. But if you only look at the books when buying a car, then what car reviews should you look at?
My conclusion is given to you first: If you are not a player who is obsessed with book data, Lynk & Co 02 Hatchback Plus/Pro is more worth buying than the high-power Halo version.
First talk about the big difference between the two cars - transmission .
In the inherent impression of many people, 8AT will inevitably be better than 7DCT. Yes, if we only look at the production cost, the AT gearbox is indeed more expensive than the DCT gearbox, but the expensive does not mean that it is good. The key is to look at the adjustment. Most people still have a bad impression of dual-clutch many years ago. Although word of mouth takes time to re-establish, I hope everyone will still analyze specific issues and in detail, and don’t sink a boat with one stone. In recent years, some independent brands that are ahead have made considerable progress in taming the dual-clutch gearbox , and are even close to the level of German first-tier manufacturers.
Lynk & Co's Aixin 8AT is "excessive comfort but insufficient exercise". Even the Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan version with high-level sport positioning in the model cannot escape the evaluation of "the transmission is dragging its legs in terms of sportiness". The same situation also appeared on the 02 Hatchback Halo driving control kit version we tested last year. It was sporty and not completely sporty.
and the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission of the Plus/Pro version solves this problem very well. In fact, Lynk & Co has always been well-known for the adjustment of the dual-clutch. has better gear shift logic and is more willing to downshift than the 8AT version. 's old problem of "half a beat slower" has finally been changed. With the dual-clutch transmission's sonorous power output and higher transmission efficiency, in daily use in urban areas, it is difficult for you to even feel the difference in horsepower between the two cars. Just like the point I have expressed many times before: the
The power gap comes from the re-acceleration capability of the middle and rear sections. , especially in the highway section, has a clear gap in power experience. The confidence of the Halo T5 version of 254 horses is fully reflected at this time. If you are a patient with difficulty in choosing, choosing between 02 Hatchback is enough to make you feel heart-tortured.
Of course, after all, they are all called 02 Hatchback. In addition to the difference in power systems, has completely consistent performance in other aspects. If you want to have a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of 02 Hatchback, you can click here to review our previous content.
uses Lynk & Co 03+ as the reference system, and the suspension settings of 02 Hatchback will be harder and more flexible, and provide more feedback on the road movements;
For a car that is more performance-oriented, sits higher in , which is a bit of pounds on the CMA platform; the steering feels more heavy and , pointing to the "buying groceries" personality, and the body following performance of is not as good as 03+;
has a much worse visual and auditory performance, has no 03+ combat style interior and surging exhaust sounds. Yes, although the 02 Hatchback has a fierce double-sided four-exhaust exhaust shape, the sound waves are still "weak". Whether it is high power or low power, Lynk & Co is a bowl of water. But there is no need to complain. After all, from the perspective of the manufacturer, if you have whatever you want with 02 Hatchback, who will buy 03+? The "knife method" of cutting configuration is a compulsory course for major manufacturers.
02 Hatchback Halo just now, Lynk & Co also launched a custom-built valve exhaust in cooperation with the famous exhaust manufacturer IPE. This thing not only gives the car a bigger voice, but also increases the power and torque of the engine by 7.6 horsepower and 3.9N·m respectively. The exhaust weight is also 2.5 kilograms lighter than the original manufacturer, which is really attractive. However, I still want to remind everyone that although this thing is officially promoted, the installation is not completed in the 4S store and cannot enjoy the manufacturer's warranty. What's important is that it still belongs to illegally modified . You can buy it, but you can't use it.
In the past two years, domestic brand manufacturers have set off a wave of "making a sports car for young people" . Judging from sales, the potential of this market is still good, especially in the price range of 100,000 to 150,000 yuan, which is particularly fierce.
Due to the brand positioning, it is difficult for Lynk & Co to compete directly with popular models such as Yingbao and UNI-V in terms of pricing. The two low-power models launched by 02 Hatchback this time are considered an attempt. Although there is currently no direct competitive relationship in terms of price (Yingbao and UNI-V will launch 2.0T versions in the future), at least the attitude is there. Compared with the first two,
is very happy. Before the car is fully electrified, we can still buy these affordable and interesting fuel cars. Although they are late, they are here!
