The appearance has changed through several models, from the initial criticism, and gradually accepted, it has formed its own style. Now Lynk & Co 05 goes with coupe style crossover, as coupe SUV is current very hot in China market, many Chinese auto maker have launched their coupe SUV, such as Haval F7x from GWM, Changan CS85 COUPE, Geely Xingyue.
Lynk & Co 05 will be released at the end of June 2019. The new car will be positioned in a compact coupe SUV with a more aggressive design. It is available in a variety of rims and car color trims and will provide 1.5T/2.0T(Lower/Higher-powered version).

In terms of appearance, the headlights at the top have been adjusted, it look more three-dimensional, the bar-style honeycomb grille combined with the exaggerated air intake below, looks more aggressive.

The fast-back design of Lynk & Co 05 is very dynamic, the black roof and blackened mirrors are full of personality, the yellow embellished side windows and sport wheels make it look younger, body size of Lynk & Co 05 is 4592/1879/1628mm and the wheelbase is 2734mm. Curb weight:1788kg
At the rear end, the overall line is more complicated. The granule-shaped taillights are connected to bar-style black plaque. The bilateral double exhaust pipe layout also further highlights the positioning of a young and sporty vehicle.
According to the declaration information, Lynk & Co 05 provides a two-color body, multi-color side window trim, multi-color hub, and front and rear radars, depending on the configuration.

Transmission will be matched with a 6AT or 7DCT gearbox.
Lynk & Co 05 continues the design philosophy of Lynk & Co family in terms of appearance. From the data reported, it is similar to Lynk & Co 01, but the positioning of its coupe SUV has more topics with the just launched Geely Xingyue. One of the topics is rebadging, the two cars are from the same CMA platform, the detail design has a lot in common, especially the size and power system are almost identical.
In terms of size, Lynk & Co 05 is 4592/1879/1628mm, wheelbase of 2734mm and Geely Xingyue (4605/1878/1643mm, wheelbase 2700mm), the difference of wheelbase is only 34mm。 The two cars will not be different in many cases based under the same CMA platform architecture. The topic of “Lynk & Co 05 is the rebadging Geely Xingyue” seems the truth, anyway, although they have based on the same platform, the driving experience and the luxury of the interior on Lynk & Co 05 have to be further improved, Lynk & Co brand positioned above the Geely conventional model, and it is bound to pull out the gap in the chassis adjustment, handling, interior trim and texture.
The same is the market price, price of Lynk & Co 05 will also be far from Geely Xingyue. The starting price of Geely Xingyue is 135,800 yuan in China market, the starting price Lynk & Co 01 is 150,000 yuan, there is no reason price of Lynk & Co 05 will be lower than Lynk & Co 01 and Xingyue, so we guess price of Lynk & Co 05 will start at least from 160,000 yuan.
Lynk & Co 05 will be released at the end of June 2019 in Geely’s spring & summer conference. We will bring you more detailed information about this model then.
