Link & Co’s Concept 03 – Ordinal made it look like a concept sedan
New models of Chinese cars in 2017-2018 will be replenished with a sedan brand Link and co (the brainchild of Geely and Volvo) – Link and Co 03, pretending to be a concept at the Shanghai Motor Show. The proposed review of the Link & Co 03 sedan with the concept of a prefix from the premium brand Link & Co, which is a subsidiary of the Geely group, the first news, photos, specifications and estimated price. The serial version of the four-door sedan Link and Co. 03 will enter the Chinese market in early 2018 at a price of 110-170 thousand yuan (914-1412 thousand conventional units). The new sedan will be slightly cheaper than the first-born Link and KO 01 crossover offered in China at a price of 130-190 thousand yuan.
The four-door new Link & Co. 03 concept shown at the Shanghai Auto Show was actually only pretending to be a proof of concept. It is enough to carefully consider the body and interior of the car to understand that we have a serial version of the sedan. The fact that the new sedan came to the showroom towards the concept to support the image of the production version of the crossover Link and KO 01 (the first-born of the young company).
Both cars, by the way, are built on the latest modular platform of the C-segment modular architecture, which makes it possible to equip the novelty not only in traditional internal combustion engines (gasoline and diesel engines), but also in hybrid and all-electric power plants. The 03 sedan shows off a fantastically stylish and original exterior design in the image and likeness of the 01 crossover, as well as an almost identical interior.
The modern, original and stylish exterior design of the Sino-Swedish body sedan model is the magic style of Link & Co. Original LED headlights and LED taillights, sculpted front and rear bumpers with massive, perfect radii, wheel arches, fenders and a solid door with a bright rib at the level of the door handles. It's hard to even believe that we have a machine Made in China.
The interior of the sedan is one to one like my crossover brother. Digital instrument panel with 12.25-inch color display, advanced multimedia system with 10.2-inch touch screen (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with MirrorLink), original climate control unit, high quality finishing materials (fabric, leather, Alcantara) and, of course, a plethora of advanced security systems and electronic assistants, adaptive cruise control with pedestrian detection and an automatic valet to witness lane markings, road signs and objects around the car.
Specifications sedan Link & Co from 03 2017-2018. Under the hood of a serial sedan from the beginning of sales, gasoline engines will be prescribed – a three-cylinder 1.5 turbo and a 2.0 turbo four-cylinder with a power of 150-240 horses to choose from with several types of transmission – 6 manual transmissions, 6 automatic transmissions and 6-7 speed DCT robots.
