Lynk & Co Cars in Lithuania 2026: Models, Prices and Is It Worth It

Lynk & Co is one of the more interesting new names in the Lithuanian car market. This is not just another anonymous Chinese brand — behind it stand two heavyweights: the Chinese conglomerate Geely and Sweden's Volvo. Together they created a brand that shares its technical foundation with Volvo and Polestar, yet aims to be more affordable on price. Below: what Lynk & Co is, when and how the brand arrived in Lithuania, a review of the three officially sold models (01, 02 and 08), their strengths and weaknesses, and tips on what to keep in mind when choosing.

Lynk & Co: who are they?

Lynk & Co is a brand founded in 2016 as a joint venture project between Geely (China) and Volvo Cars (Sweden). The idea was simple but bold: to create a brand that would sit between the mass-market Geely and premium Volvo — that is, in a near-premium position. In practice this means that Lynk & Co cars use the same engineering base as Volvo and Polestar, but come with a distinctive design and, often, more accessible terms.

It is precisely this origin that is the most important difference between Lynk & Co and many other Chinese brands coming to Europe. It is not a startup from scratch — behind the technology stand Volvo's safety culture and Geely's manufacturing scale. This combination makes it possible to achieve high safety ratings while keeping a competitive price in the segment.

Shared platforms with Volvo and Polestar

Lynk & Co models are built on the same platforms as other cars in the group:

• Lynk & Co 01 is built on the CMA platform — the same one used by Volvo, Polestar and Geely models. It is a mature architecture, proven many times on the market.
• Lynk & Co 02 is built on the Geely SEA platform — an architecture designed specifically for electric vehicles, shared with the Volvo EX30, Smart #1 and Zeekr X.

Thanks to this shared base, Lynk & Co cars behave similarly to their European cousins — this shows both in the Euro NCAP results and in the overall driving character.

Lynk & Co in Lithuania — official representative and service

When did Lynk & Co arrive in Lithuania?

Lynk & Co was officially launched in Lithuania on 16 October 2025. On that day, the official representative Sostena opened the brand's first showroom in Vilnius, at Ukmergės St. 279. This means the brand has an official representative with a full sales and service model, rather than just individual importers.

Sales and service

In addition to the Vilnius showroom, Lynk & Co sales also take place in Kaunas and Klaipėda. Technical service is organised in five Lithuanian cities. Expansion of the dealer network across Lithuania is planned for 2026 — this is important to keep in mind, because wider service and parts availability has a positive effect on long-term convenience and the car's value.

The models are also already appearing on the used market and in new car listings (autoplius.lt, autogidas.lt, caramba.lt), so it is possible to buy not only from the official showroom.

Alternative: WHEELSTREET can help you acquire a Lynk & Co either from the used market in Europe or new directly from the manufacturer — on competitive terms and with an inspection before delivery. To read more about ordering new cars directly from the manufacturer, see here.

Lynk & Co 01 — plug-in hybrid

Segment: Compact SUV (C segment) Drivetrain: Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Best for: Those who do not yet want to switch to a fully electric car but want to drive on electricity every day

The Lynk & Co 01 was the brand's first model and remains one of the most recognisable. It is a compact SUV built on the CMA platform, which it shares with Volvo and Polestar. In Lithuania the 01 is offered as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) — the car has both a petrol engine and a rechargeable battery, so everyday short routes can be driven on electricity alone, while petrol remains available for longer trips.

Key highlights:

• A plug-in hybrid with an approximately 17.6 kWh battery
• A manufacturer-stated WLTP electric range of up to roughly 70 km (in the independent Green NCAP test, about 66 km was achieved on electricity alone)
• A 5-star Euro NCAP rating (2021)
• The CMA platform, shared with Volvo / Polestar / Geely

Such an electric range means that most everyday city routes can be covered without switching on the petrol engine — if you charge regularly at home or work, real fuel consumption can be very low. On a longer trip the car drives like an ordinary hybrid.

Lynk & Co 02 — fully electric crossover

Segment: Compact crossover Drivetrain: Fully electric (EV) Best for: City and suburban drivers looking for an electric vehicle with Scandinavian design

The Lynk & Co 02 is a fully electric compact crossover built on the Geely SEA platform. It is the same architecture used by the Volvo EX30, Smart #1 and Zeekr X, so the 02 is a close relative of these models. In Lithuania it is the most accessible way to get to know Lynk & Co as an electric car.

Key specifications:

Advantages:

• A solid WLTP range (about 445 km) in a compact body
• Good DC charging speed (up to 150 kW) — convenient for longer trips
• Quick acceleration (0–100 km/h in about 5.5 s)
• Shared SEA platform with the Volvo EX30 — mature technology
• 5-star Euro NCAP safety

Disadvantages:

• The brand is still new in Lithuania — the service network is only expanding
• The compact body may be too small for a large family
• In winter the real range, as with all electric vehicles, will be lower than WLTP

The real winter range will depend on temperature and driving style — as with any electric vehicle, you should expect a noticeable drop in range in the cold. Read more about using an electric vehicle in winter in Lithuania here.

Lynk & Co 08 — hybrid with a long range

Segment: Mid-size SUV (D segment) Drivetrain: Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Best for: Families and those who want a PHEV with everyday use close to that of an electric vehicle

The Lynk & Co 08 is the largest of the three models offered in Lithuania. It is a mid-size SUV with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain that stands out for an unusually long electric range. Unlike many hybrids, the 08 has a considerably larger battery, so it can travel significantly further on electricity alone.

Key highlights:

• A plug-in hybrid with an approximately 39 kWh battery
• A manufacturer-stated electric range of up to roughly 200 km
• Fast DC charging: from 10 to 80% in about 33 min — a rare thing among hybrids
• A 5-star Euro NCAP rating (2025)

Such a battery and electric range mean that in practice the 08 can be used almost like an electric vehicle for everyday driving, while the petrol engine remains a reserve for long trips. The ability to charge quickly at a DC station is a rare advantage in this hybrid segment — many PHEVs support only slow alternating-current charging.

Note: the exact battery capacity and electric range figures may differ slightly depending on the version and market. It is always worth confirming the data of a specific car according to its trim.

Advantages and disadvantages

Why consider a Lynk & Co?

• Volvo and Geely engineering — shared platforms with Volvo and Polestar mean mature technology, not an experiment.
• High safety ratings — all three models offered in Lithuania have a 5-star Euro NCAP rating.
• A wide choice of drivetrains — there is a fully electric option (02) and two plug-in hybrids (01, 08) with a long electric range.
• An official representative in Lithuania — Sostena ensures sales and service, not just imports.
• Near-premium positioning — the design and equipment aim for a higher level than a typical mass-market brand.

What to pay attention to?

• A new brand in Lithuania — the service and dealer network is only expanding in 2026, so availability is for now lower than that of long-established brands.
• A short market history — since the models are relatively new, very long-term reliability statistics are still accumulating.
• Resale value — the resale value of a new brand in Lithuania is still taking shape, so it is worth assessing when planning long-term ownership costs.
• The used market is still scarce — the supply of used Lynk & Co cars is growing gradually, so the choice is for now more limited.

Is it worth buying a Lynk & Co?

Lynk & Co is one of the most well-founded choices among new brands in Lithuania, precisely because of its Volvo and Geely origins. If it matters to you that there is mature engineering and high safety ratings behind the brand, and not just a lower price, then it is a serious candidate.

• If you are choosing a fully electric car for everyday use and value Scandinavian design — look at the 02.
• If you want a hybrid that drives on electricity every day but has no range anxiety on a long trip — consider the 01.
• If you need a spacious family SUV with everyday use close to that of an electric vehicle and with fast charging — the 08 is a good fit.

The most important point of caution — the brand is still young in Lithuania, so before buying, look into the nearest service and parts availability in your region. Since the network is expanding in 2026, the situation is improving rapidly.
