You cannot buy the Lynk & Co 02 in America. You can buy the car underneath it. Geely's roomy, rear-wheel-drive electric crossover rides on the same SEA platform as the Volvo EX30, makes the same 268 hp from the same single rear motor, and then stretches that hardware nearly 9 inches longer for far more cabin and cargo space, wrapped in a full-width light signature that looks like it belongs two segments higher.

In this footage-first first look we walk the design, step into the light, panoramic-roofed cabin with its signature centre box, dig through the big landscape touchscreen, check real rear-seat room, and open the 410-litre boot, before laying out exactly what an American gets instead and what the 02 gives up on range.
WHAT AMERICANS CAN ACTUALLY BUY
Lynk & Co is a Geely brand sold in China and Europe, and it has never been offered in the United States. The closest thing on a US lot is its platform cousin, the 2026 Volvo EX30 Single Motor Extended Range: $38,950, an EPA-rated 261 miles, 268 hp and rear-wheel drive — the same running gear in a shorter body. Volvo has confirmed 2026 is the EX30's final US model year, so this cross-shop has a clock on it. The comparison that matters: the 02 measures 175.6 inches long against the EX30's 166.7, and folds down to 49.4 cubic feet of cargo against the EX30's 27.8 — almost double.
SPECS AT A GLANCE (Lynk & Co 02, European spec — the car in this video)
Powertrain: single rear motor, rear-wheel drive
Power: 200 kW / 272 PS / 268 hp, 343 Nm
Battery: 66 kWh usable (69 kWh gross)
Range: up to 445 km / 277 miles WLTP
Charging: 150 kW DC (10-80% approx 30 min), 11 kW AC on Core, 22 kW on More
0-100 km/h: 5.5 seconds
Boot: 410 litres seats up (14.5 cu ft), 1400 litres folded (49.4 cu ft)
Length: 4460 mm / 175.6 inches
From: EUR 35,495 (Core) — no US price exists
HOW IT COMPARES
Volvo EX30 ($38,950 in the US, EPA 261 miles): same platform, same 268 hp, but the 02 has the bigger body, the bigger boot and more rear room. The EX30 claims more range and runs the slicker Google-based system — and it is the one you can actually order.
Kia EV3 Long Range (Europe): travels much farther, up to 605 km, for similar money.
Smart 1 (Europe): shares the 272 PS running gear, yet the 02's 410-litre boot dwarfs it.
The footage here is a European-market car, filmed on a show floor. Nothing about it is US-spec, and we have not pretended otherwise — the dollar figures above belong to the Volvo, not to this Lynk & Co.
Lynk & Co sells the 02 in Europe both to buy outright and on a flexible monthly membership, so you can run one without a long lock-in.
