Late next month Lynk & Co, a subsidiary brand of Geely, introduced the 01 for the European market. Lynk & Co emphasizes its subscription model, which allows you to drive the car for a fixed amount per month. At the introduction it was also told that you can purchase the car separately. The list price of the 01 was kept under wraps for a while, but it is now known anyway.
The Lynk & Co 01 will cost € 39,000 without a subscription. It remains clear, because that is the only price that the brand mentions. This price applies to the plug-in hybrid variant. There will also be a regular hybrid, but the price remains unknown for a while. The versions are respectively 261 and 197 hp strong. The subscription amount of € 500 per month also seems to apply to the plug-in. There are also no options and trim levels. Everything Lynk & Co has to offer is available as standard. The Lynk & Co 01 is therefore cheaper than its hybrid brother at Volvo, the XC40 Recharge T4, which is available from € 42,875. However, it is considerably more expensive than a car like the hybrid Kia Niro, which is also available in two variations. In its most expensive version, it costs € 39,495 and is available from € 28,550 as a hybrid and € 35,195 as a plug-in hybrid.
As a customer you can choose from two colors for the 01 at Lynk & Co: black or blue. If you want to buy the 01 separately, you need to make a deposit of € 500. The planned delivery will then take place in the spring of 2021. Lynk & Co will bring the 01 home by then, maintenance will be done through Volvo’s dealer network. Registration for the subscription is free. It seems that subscribers get priority, because Lynk & Co will contact you ‘as soon as the cars are in’. The website does not state exactly when that is. In Amsterdam you can see the Lynk & Co 01 in real life. After all, the brand new for Europe has opened its first ‘club’ at the Rokin.
