Barely weeks after Lynk & Co unveiled its dramatic 02 sedan concept, the China-based firm under automaker Geely has now unveiled the 03 sedan concept, said to be a design prototype. Led by the 01 SUV, the 03 sedan follows suit, this time seen ahead of its debut at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Here, similarities with the 01 SUV can be seen, in design elements for both its exterior and interior. Its headlamps are mounted high and its grille is slim in a fashion similar to the 01 SUV’s, while at the back the 03 sedan concept’s are similar to the 01 SUV’s in its distinct look. In contrast to the rather outlandish 02 concept, the 03 sedan concept is more restrained in appearance.
Inside, the 03 sedan concept’s cabin features a centre console that is angled towards the driver, and appears to share an overall design language with the interior within the 01 SUV. The 03 sedan concept’s steering wheel appears identical to the 01 SUV’s, while the infotainment unit appears to sport a sleek touchscreen surface in addition to hard controls.
As before, the latest from Lynk & Co is tipped to use Volvo’s CMA platform which will also underpin the upcoming 40 series Volvos, and while powertrain details have yet to be confirmed, the sedan concept is also likely to use Volvo’s 1.5 litre, turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine (paired to an electric motor in Volvo T5 hybrid configuration), as well as a 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder.
In addition to the plug-in hybrid powertrain, the Lynk & Co 03 sedan concept is also said to spawn future models with a purely electric drivetrain. As Lynk & Co’s models approach their debuts, parent company Geely has plans to overhaul the traditional new car buying method, according to Car Advice.
In a move similar to Tesla’s, there are plans for Lynk & Co vehicles to be sold from centrally-owned distributor outlets. “Our aim is to enrich and simplify ownership by redefining how cars are bought, owned, connected, serviced and used,” explained Lynk & Co’s senior VP Alain Visser. There are also plans for a subscription model for the sharing and renting of Lynk & Co models.

Geely > all
Volvo > all
Rub it into Proton’s wound. Struggling just to pay bills, but like to tok kok as if they are worth diamonds and golds, as if Geely needs them.
Silly clowns. Geely and the rest of the world got better things to do than begging govt for handouts.
Ugly car like C30. Persona looks way better
Yup. Looks like VW lower grille, Kia center grille, macan bonnet, persona2 side, HRV rear lights, the exhaust pipes look as fake as Perdana2, and they even got the sharkfin antenna in reverse! And interior is just french.
Trying too hard to ape Kia’s design mish-mash?
Janji pecah sales record, buat profit, tak payah jadi beggar minta duit rakyat.
Design, who cares? Proton give face too much to their designers, now forever on life support begging for rakyat to give chance, the same rakyat they lash out for being unpatriotic.
Our freshies also wisen up edi, hence 70% will never touch a Proton. Thanks to internet, they know the truth. They know if tak nak pening, tak payah fikir, beli je Perodua.
then there are people who similarities where the other cant and those who know only that mucy see similaritiies everywhere and say people copy.
tokmoh, and you wonder now even more why Geely has landed.
It’s like Saga with a Porsche bodykit.
China mari. No surprises there…
1st, it was 01 SUV, later, 02 sedan concept & now unveiled the 03 sedan concept ahead of its debut at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Oh NO. this is too much 4 me or M’sian 2 bear. In a short period of time, Geely introduce what may “Have” been something M’sian can drive in the near future.
Looks quite upmarket, but maybe could only sell in China. Outside world, it’s just a rather curious brand. Brand heritage is everything.
Please rebadge this & replace the Preve, Proton.
But this lynk is fugly
This is another reason why Proton’s FSP should be Geely. If this happens I might even buy a Proton in the future. In the final analysis it is not what Proton want, it is what consumers want.
For Lana Del Ray
Let’s hope that Geeky gets to take over Proton and starts making these cars here in Malaysia. All the previous rubbish cars can chiak sai and die.
