Technical characteristics
The Lynk & Co 05 is based on the Compact Modular Architecture platform of the Swedish manufacturer Volvo, which is used for XC40.[4]
The Lynk & Co 05 was launched with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine mild hybrid powertrain, producing 187 kW (251 hp; 254 PS) and 349 N⋅m (257 lb⋅ft; 36 kg⋅m). Transmission is an eight-speed automatic transmission. Two turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder engines was added to the lineup shortly after with one of the powertrains being a plug-in hybrid model.[5]
A performance oriented variant called the 05+ was launched in August 2021. Powering the 05+ is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine shared with the other 05 models. However, the engine of the 05+ was tweaked to pump out 265 hp and 280 lb-ft (380 Nm) of torque, as opposed to the 251 hp and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of standard models. Mated to the engine is an Aisin eight-speed automated manual transmission with four wheel drive. Top speed of the 05+ is 143 mph (230 km/h).[6]
