Lynk & Co in the early launch of the three models (01/02/03) in addition to the design is more avant-garde, in fact, the essence of the shape positioning is very traditional (compact, sedan), even if it is bold, it is only in the sedan on the basis of the performance car 03 +. So this seemingly very leather brand, in fact, the pace is very stable.
As bystanders, after looking at its brand product line, most of us would think that it is time for Lynk & Co to pull out one, and preferably a sedan to complement its lineup. However, after entering 2020, Lynk & Co has once again skinned it and pulled out a compact and niche coupe.
Design is difficult to appreciate both elegant and vulgar
Over the years, coupe design has been rampant, from high-end to close to the people to old man music. This design, which should have been exclusive to cars, has appeared by mistake, largely due to the crooked head of the year. From another perspective, why people don’t like this style is mainly because the high visual center of gravity is matched with this oblique streamline slip, which can easily create a "hunchback feeling". This destroys the streamline aesthetics of the vehicle to a certain extent, and the essence, qi and spirit of the whole vehicle will become declining.
So that the design of this kind of design is often separated by a line, and the design skills are very exquisite. The design of Lynk & Co is definitely higher than that of those car companies that only outsource to Binfa design, so when you look at it from the side of the Lynk & Co 05 car, its hunchback is not obvious, and the whole is still very smooth.
For most people, at least the first time you see the Lynk & Co 05, you won’t have obvious disgust, but it’s also hard to fall in love with it all at once. That is to say, the 05 model is a classic example of "I like it very much, I don’t like it if I hate it". Since the birth of the Lynk & Co 05, it has been decided that it needs a Bole who can appreciate it. I don’t know what you think of this horse in front of the screen?
As for another point, although the front of the Lynk & Co 05 is a familiar layered design, the overall design language has clearly entered the "2.0 era". Like the front middle grid grille, daytime running lights, etc., there are obvious variants compared to the past, and the overall style has changed from round to sharp.
Although you can still recognize the car at a glance when you look at it from a distance, many changes in the details will make your brain tell you that "this is not the old Lynk".
Luxurious interior
And the entire interior of the 05 can be regarded as earth-shaking. If you get into the car, touch the fur that feels great, look at the imported aluminum trim like a mural, and there is a natural feeling at the intersection of the former two, then you will suddenly flash the word "advanced" in your mind at a certain moment. After all, the interior of the 05 is a level higher than previous models in terms of design and materials. This kind of car material also proves that Lynk & Co is trying to create a more advanced atmosphere than previous cars.
As an old car owner, I basically have nothing but praise for this interior, especially the new central control system, which not only has a clear screen and smooth picture, but also has quite complete functions. And the new fingerprint recognition, glove box password lock and other small functions are also very interesting and useful. Of course, this set of cars with good experience is largely due to the use of Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A chips (the standard level of Android phones around 2016). I used my own 03 central control system after shooting, as if I had returned from the Iphone 4 to the Nokia era. I don’t know when Lynk & Co officials will be able to consider replacing the cars of early users, even if it is at their own expense. I believe most people are willing.
Another point is that this time the Lynk & Co 05 has finally adjusted the driving mode selection to the front and rear push type, which is much more reasonable than the previous knob type + determined operation mode. Of course, it should also be pointed out inside the car that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the utilization rate of Lynk & Co’s storage space. Second, the manual mode of the Lynk & Co car series (the shift handle swings left and right to perform manual lift and drop gears), the high-end car with steering wheel shift paddles is fine. If it is a low-end car, it really has to pay a certain learning cost. Is this "bad" tradition really necessary to be preserved?
As for the rear space of the 05, I think the 32cm legroom can definitely meet the needs of most people. Secondly, the back-sliding indenter that everyone is worried about has also been specially treated for stealing air on the 05, and the wide and thick seats with good wrapping make it comfortable to sit up. However, due to the center of the four-wheel drive model, the middle position of the Lynk & Co 05 is not suitable for adults to ride for a long time.
In addition, it should be noted that a good sense of body does not mean a good look. Even if the front bucket chairs used by the entire Lynk & Co series are commendable in both appearance and practicality, the wide bucket chairs and the upwardly narrowed window line of the back door will create a sense of sight suppression in the rear row of the 05, and it will feel dark in front of you when closed (opening the panoramic canopy will be greatly improved). Of course, with the original rear privacy glass, you can also think that the back row of the Lynk & Co 05 has a strong sense of privacy.
Compared with the riding space, the back of the car often has a greater impact on the trunk space. From the data, it can be seen that the trunk of the Lynk & Co 05 is indeed slightly worse than the traditional shape (mainly due to the height of the trunk and the opening of the trunk off the ground). However, in terms of practicality, the 05 has been targeted for floor sinking. If you compare other models of the same design (such as the Changan CS85), you will see that the trunk space utilization rate is quite good.
Same powertrain.
The Lynk & Co 05’s powertrain can complete the overview in three words: "2.0T for T5", "Aisin 8AT", "50:50". It sounds familiar because everything is exactly the same as + except for the plastic cover above that doesn’t say "Performance" and the lack of a track mode on the driving mode.
Only from the objective data point of view, the 2.0T of 254 horses is just right; and from the subjective experience point of view, in the comfort mode, the front section of the throttle is still very linear, and occasionally there is a feeling of laziness, but after deeply stepping on the throttle, the acceleration of the middle and rear sections is very sufficient, and the turbine pressure will give you a feeling of continuous power.
If you want to be restless, the whole powertrain in sport mode will be much more aggressive, the throttle response will be timely and sensitive, and the willingness to step down deeply on the throttle will become more active. If you want extreme sports, then you may have to forgive me, because the split and extremely restless track mode does not appear in the 05 driving mode selection list.
Since it is mentioned, then I have to mention this set of Aisin 8AT, the shift rhythm may not be too crisp, but the victory is smooth. With its assistance, the whole 2.0T is very smooth. After all, this set of 2.0T + 8AT has been matched with high-end models on the Internet for many years, and it is transplanted to the CMA platform intact, which will not be difficult for Lynk & Co. With the group’s many years of cooperation experience with Aisin, making this high-quality powertrain is purely a routine operation.
In addition, after a long time of contact with a variety of models of Lynk & Co, I finally came to an unspoken rule that is not a secret. That is, the steering feel of Lynk & Co cars is often distinguished according to. From 1.5T, 2.0T low public rate, to 2.0T high, their steering feel is gradually increased from light to heavy. So if you love driving, then you will definitely prefer the steering feel of 03 + and 05. Although their feel is relatively light and flexible compared to similar models, they still belong to the category.
As for the Lynk & Co 05, I was a little surprised. Generally speaking, the models with the CMA architecture are relatively similar, with a strong sense of advanced and sufficient toughness. They are also very calm in the face of road shattering. Like the 01, 02, and 03 that are casually pulled out can overwhelm them in terms of comfort compared to competitors in the same price. However, Lynk & Co is a little too comfortable in the adjustment, which often causes the vehicle to roll more obviously when cornering (even the ordinary 03). Compared with previous models, the Lynk & Co 05 can still maintain a high level of comfort. There is also a roll, but it is obvious that the support when cornering is very good. It can filter the vibration of the road surface while transmitting a non-disturbing road feeling. The whole has a strong sense of firmness.
If the range of 0-100 is used to describe the change of the Lynk & Co car series from comfort to hardcore, then the previous 01, 02, and 03 may be around 60 points, which is obviously more comfortable, like + is 100 points, the road feeling is very clear, and the Lynk & Co 05 is just in the range of 80 points. In other words, the Lynk & Co 05 is the most balanced one in the current Lynk & Co car series.
It is also the most expensive Lynk & Co in terms of sound insulation.
The Lynk & Co 05 is currently the only Lynk & Co car equipped with double-glazing in the rear, so it has a good environmental sound insulation, and there is even a slight ear pressure when closed. And even if it is limited by the higher shape, there is no obvious wind noise during high-speed driving, and the sound insulation level of the whole car is compared with that of luxury brands, and it will never fall behind.
There were two main sources of noise. Firstly, the Eagle, a performance tire with a hard wall, would be more challenging, and the tire noise was still more obvious. Secondly, the ancestral T5, which had a strong grainy feel at medium and low speeds and was not very pleasant to the ear when transmitted to the carriage.
I became weirder and stronger
The comprehensive strength of the Lynk & Co 05 is beyond doubt. The complete powertrain, the rich configuration level, the top NVH and so on all mean that Lynk & Co really goes to great lengths to build a higher-end Lynk & Co. In the 18-220,000 range, it is difficult to find a model as unique and cost-effective as it. From a recommendation point of view, it is definitely worth buying.
The premise is that you can accept its unique appearance.
[Lingke 05 First Test Impression]
Outstanding advantages: perfect powertrain; high configuration level; easy to use; chassis for comfort and control, cost-effective.
Main shortcomings: general storage space and low universality of design.
