MIAS 2024: Lynk & Co 01 and 06 officially debut in PH

After giving us a preview last month, United Asia Automotive Group Inc (UAAGI) officially launched the Lynk & Co 06 PHEV and 01 crossovers at this year’s Manila International Auto Show (MIAS). Serving as the automaker’s premier models, the 01 PHEV is a plug-in hybrid compact crossover while the 06 is a turbocharged B-segment crossover SUV.

Starting with the 01 PHEV, it’s powered by a 1.5-liter three-cylinder MPI engine that is assisted by a lithium-ion battery pack and electric motor. This gives the crossover an impressive 262 PS along with 265 Nm of torque. Power is then sent to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox that drives the front wheels.

Recharging the battery can be done via a Type 2 AC charger which means drivers can charge the 01 PHEV at almost any charging station. On a full charge, Lynk & Co claims the 01 PHEV can do up to 69 km on pure electric power.

When it comes to features, the 01 PHEV comes with a long list of amenities. These include; a full leather interior, a 12.3-inch digital cluster, a 12.7-inch touchscreen infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, a large panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, etc.

For peace of mind while on the road, the 01 PHEV also comes with a suite of intelligent driver aids. These include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane-change assist, lane departure warning, and traffic jam assist.

Up next is the turbocharged Lynk & Co 06. This one packs a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbo with direct injection. The engine produces an impressive 181 PS along with 290 Nm of torque and is paired with a 7-speed wet-type dual-clutch gearbox. If those figures look familiar, that’s because the 06 gets the same four-cylinder turbo as its twin, the recently updated Geely Coolray.

Style-wise, the 06 looks quite similar to the 01 PHEV. However, it’s actually a subcompact crossover which means it will face off against the likes of the GAC GS3 Emzoom, the Omoda 5, the Chery Tiggo 5X Pro Hybrid, and the aforementioned Geely Coolray.

Like its bigger sibling, the 06 is packed with plenty of features like a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, a flat bottom leather steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and more.
