Lynk & Co 06

Model Overview

The Lynk & Co 06 is a B-segment SUV under the Lynk & Co brand. Built on Geely’s BMA evo architecture and positioned as a "smart and agile SUV", it is targeted squarely at the youth market. First introduced in 2020, the model has undergone several facelifts and iterations. As of 2026, the lineup on sale mainly comprises the petrol-powered Lynk & Co 06 Relive (2026 model) and the plug-in hybrid Lynk & Co 06 EM-P (2025 model). The 2026 Lynk & Co 06 Relive officially hit the market on 5 August 2025, offering two variant trims—Max and Ultra—with official recommended retail prices of RM117,600 and RM129,600 respectively, and limited-time promo prices dropping to RM107,600 and RM119,600, offering young car buyers strong value for money. The Lynk & Co 06 EM-P was launched in September 2024 with an official retail price of RM147,800, powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain. As of March 2026, the Lynk & Co 06 has won over nearly 300,000 owners in total.

Design Language

The exterior of the Lynk & Co 06 is styled after Lynk & Co’s "The Next Day" second-generation family design language, weaving an "urban naturalism" aesthetic into its exterior details. Up front, it features the brand's signature split-headlight setup, with Y-shaped "Dawn Light" LED daytime running lights on top and adaptive LED projector headlamps below that offer up to 300 metres of illumination range, seamlessly merging with the black horizontal slat grille to form Lynk & Co’s unmistakable front fascia. In profile, a floating black roof creates a dual-tone finish, complemented by unpainted cladding on the wheel arches and side sills for a rugged crossover look. The 2026 model introduces a new "Forest Amber Green" paintwork—inspired by lush rainforest moss, blending amber-like warmth into deep green tones to deliver a multi-dimensional aesthetic under shifting light—alongside five other colour options: Shero Purple, Cherry Blossom Pink, Dune Beige, Silver Salt White, and Polar Grey. At the rear, the energy crystal LED combination tail lights house 128 LEDs with a three-stage sequential braking animation, while the faux rear diffuser on the bumper enhances its sporty stance. In terms of dimensions, the B-segment SUV measures 4,350 mm long, 1,820 mm wide, and 1,625 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,640 mm.

Inside, the 2026 Lynk & Co 06 offers a choice of cabin colourways including dual-tone blue-grey, black, purple-black, and pink-white. The dashboard is trimmed in soft-touch slush-moulded materials, the armrests are wrapped in supple leather, and the integrated semi-bucket sports seats combine suede and perforated leather with prominent side bolsters for enhanced lateral support. Retaining the steering column-mounted electronic gear selector frees up valuable space on the centre console, while the front door pockets have been deepened to 28 cm. With 36 storage compartments throughout the cabin, the boot capacity expands flexibly from 353 litres to 1,126 litres.

Powertrain and Performance

The petrol-powered Lynk & Co 06 is driven across the range by a BHE15-EFZ 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 133 kW (181 PS) at 5,500 rpm and 290 Nm of torque from 2,000 to 3,500 rpm. A low-inertia turbocharger spools up to deliver peak torque from just 1,800 rpm, ensuring peppy and effortless urban drivability. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (7DCT). It boasts a top speed of 195 km/h, a WLTC combined fuel consumption of 6.55 L/100 km, and accepts RON 92 petrol, striking a fine balance between everyday performance and fuel efficiency. The vehicle comes with a four-year or 100,000 km manufacturer warranty.

The Lynk & Co 06 EM-P PHEV pairs a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine with an electric drive unit: the petrol engine puts out 88 kW (120 PS) and 148 Nm of torque, while the front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor churns out 160 kW and 350 Nm, yielding a combined system output of 220 kW (approx. 299 PS) and 578 Nm. Paired with a 3-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), it completes the 0-100 km/h century sprint in 5.9 seconds, with a rated WLTC combined fuel consumption of just 1.11 L/100 km. Energy is supplied by an SVOLT 19.09 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, delivering a CLTC pure electric range of 126 km (102 km on WLTC), an overall CLTC combined cruising range of 1,280 km, and a DC fast charging time of 0.47 hours from 30% to 80% SoC.

Chassis and Handling

Underneath, the Lynk & Co 06 is built on the BMA evo platform, which incorporates a higher proportion of ultra-high-strength steel over the standard BMA platform to significantly boost torsional rigidity. The suspension setup consists of front MacPherson struts and a rear multi-link independent suspension—a rare feature in the subcompact B-SUV segment that provides a distinct handling and ride advantage over the torsion beam setups typical of class rivals. Co-tuned by Sino-European engineering teams, it comes equipped with German SACHS dampers to effectively iron out minor road imperfections. Revised suspension geometry provides more negative front camber, enhancing cornering grip and steering agility. Stopping power comes from ventilated front discs and solid rear discs with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), riding on 215/55 R18 tyres. The 2026 model also adds a dedicated "Track Mode" that tightens steering resistance by 20%, catering to driving enthusiasts seeking a more engaging ride. The front-wheel-drive crossover has a minimum turning radius of 5.5 metres and a minimum laden ground clearance of 151 mm.

Cockpit and Tech Features

Smart cabin technology is the central highlight of the Lynk & Co 06's latest update. The 2026 Lynk & Co 06 comes standard across all variants with a 10.2-inch full digital instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch floating central touchscreen running the LYNK Flyme Auto infotainment OS, powered by the flagship "DragonHawk-1" automotive chip with 16GB RAM for smartphone-grade responsiveness. The operating system supports floating multi-window displays and an agile split-screen mode, keeping navigation and multimedia clearly separated to prevent operational interference, alongside a customisable homescreen with a Smart Bar for one-touch access to frequently used shortcuts. Its AI voice assistant is integrated with the DeepSeek LLM, delivering millisecond-level response times and comprehensive "what you see is what you can say" voice control. The infotainment system also supports satellite navigation (Amap), smartphone integration via HUAWEI HiCar, Flyme Link, and Carlink, in-car 4G connectivity, OTA firmware updates, and an app store.

On the comfort front, standard equipment across the range includes power-adjustable front seats with 3-stage ventilation and heating, while the top-spec Ultra variant adds a heated steering wheel (with auto-activation based on ambient temperature), driver's seat memory with 4-way electric lumbar support, and a 50W wireless smartphone charging pad. Premium audio is another highlight: the Ultra variant comes standard with a Lynk Sound immersive audio setup featuring 14 speakers in a 7.1 surround sound layout, backed by a 12-channel independent amplifier with a maximum output of 1,000W, a 7-band custom graphic equaliser, and four virtual acoustic presets including opera house and concert hall. Additional creature comforts include 72-colour streaming ambient lighting, a tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof, a hands-free powered tailgate, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic climate control, alongside practical touches like soft-light vanity mirrors and a concealed takeaway hook for the front passenger.

Safety and Driver Assistance

In terms of safety, the Lynk & Co 06 utilises a high-strength cage safety body structure, with high-strength steel making up 63.4% of the shell and ultra-high-tensile bumper reinforcement beams rated at over 1,300 MPa. Passive safety is well covered by six airbags (including front-to-rear curtain airbags) and an integrated Rollover Protection system that deploys the curtain airbags, cuts off fuel supply, and unlocks the doors within 0.6 seconds in the event of an impending rollover.

For active safety, the Lynk & Co 06 is equipped with 21 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) as standard, delivering Level 2 semi-autonomous driving capabilities. Key features include Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist (ACCQA for full-speed stop-and-go from 0-150 km/h), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB with pedestrian detection), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), Highway Assist (HWA), and Traffic Jam Assist (TJA). For parking, the Auto Parking Assist (APA) system utilizes an upgraded BEV surround-view algorithm and an integrated domain controller, supporting high-accuracy detection and hands-free parking across more than 200 parking bay scenarios, including dead-end alleys and perpendicular lots. It is further equipped with Track Back Assist (TBA, which memorises the path to automatically reverse out up to a set distance), Remote Parking Assist (RPA via smartphone app), and a 540-degree panoramic camera system with transparent chassis view. The SUV also supports keyless walk-away auto-lock, approach auto-unlock, and remote vehicle control (such as remote engine start/stop) via the Lynk & Co mobile app.

Market Performance and Reception

The Lynk & Co 06 has maintained a competitive footprint in the B-segment SUV market. From January to July 2025, cumulative sales reached 26,012 units, placing it 5th on the subcompact SUV sales chart and proving its solid market base. However, sales experienced a pullback following the 2026 facelift: monthly deliveries hit 4,506 units in August 2025 before plunging to 1,723 units in September (the first full month post-launch), representing a 61.76% month-on-month drop. Industry observers attributed this slowdown to a minor facelift update (no major styling or interior overhauls aside from new paint and wheel designs), a price bump of RM9,000 over the predecessor, and fierce cross-segment competition at the same price point from larger C-segment SUVs like the Geely Boyue L, Haval Big Dog, and Toyota Corolla Frontlander.

In owner reviews, the Lynk & Co 06 continues to receive high marks for its head-turning design, solid driving dynamics, and intuitive smart infotainment. However, some owners have noted that the standard boot space is modest (offering just 284 litres in its default configuration), with rear passenger room feeling slightly tight with three adults abreast. In the price-sensitive RM100,000-class petrol SUV market, the Lynk & Co 06 faces pressure from both space-focused buyers and aggressively priced new energy alternatives. As of May 2026, Lynk & Co continues to bolster showroom footfall with new colour releases (such as the "Twilight Purple" introduced in March 2026) and limited-time purchase perks, with its long-term market momentum remaining to be seen.
