Lynk & Co 03 Sedan Launched

Geely’s Lynk & Co has launched the 03 sedan for the Chinese car market on the 19th of October. Interestingly the launch event took place at the Fuji Speedway in Japan, where a high-performance Touring concept was also unveiled.

The Lynk & Co 03 premium sedan is priced between 116,800 yuan (PKR 22.4 lac) for the base version to up to 151,800 yuan (PKR 29.1 lac) for the flagship variant.

Unlike what is becoming the norm these days, the 03 doesn’t adopt the trendy four-door coupé bodystyle. Instead it sticks to a traditional three-box design. It adapts the brand’s signature dual-tier headlights with ‘dual-claw’ LED daytime running lights up top, with the larger lower units integrated into the grille.
