Since the test drive of the Lynk & Co 05+ at the Ningbo International Circuit last year, the author has been thinking about when I can experience its style on the daily road, but fortunately, this wish has finally been realized not long ago.
Returning to the dull everyday path from a track full of speed and excitement, the exaggerated carbon fiber sports kit on the top 05+ (performance package version, 261,800) naturally lacks a real place to play. However, these things that you spend real money and silver can achieve a high degree of visual and psychological satisfaction. For a simple example, when speeding on the track, the driver will hardly care about the content in the rearview mirror, but every time he looks at the rearview mirror in daily driving, he can clearly see the tail wing of the car slowly standing across the street, which is not the pride and pride that ordinary Lynk & Co 05 owners can't get.
Of course, even without the low-end 05+ (Exploration Edition, 235,800) of the carbon fiber sports kit, it still has its own "Exploration Green" paint, multiple "+" signs throughout the car, countless Alcantara material stacks and green elements in the car, and more eye-catching power parameters than 03+.
2.0T T5 Evo engine, maximum power 265Ps, maximum torque 380N·m, zero hundred acceleration 6.5s. As I said in the previous track test drive video, it is really not easy for a 1.8-ton steel beast to do so, but compared to the grumpy front section, the 05+ back section is weak (more obvious after speeds of more than 150km/h) will also make you unable to feel the limits of the track super happily. Fortunately, you don't need to worry about it at all when driving on everyday roads, and the 05+ power response still requires your full attention even in the most Buddhist mode.
In other words, 05+ responsive motivational response may also be a reason for many people to reject it.
On the Lynk & Co 03+, the unrestrictable exhaust sound became its biggest problem. Fortunately, Lynk & Co officially listened to the voice of consumers and equipped it with a valve on the 05+, but once again it was unsatisfactory that the valve was still not thorough enough. If it's a self-driving trip with a considerable distance, I'm sure the person sitting in the back seat will definitely ask for a free drive. After all, compared with the dry exhaust sound, the 05+ is more attractive than the dry exhaust sound, and this is especially true on the high speed without traffic jams.
If power and sound reflect 05+ in terms of performance, then the gentle steering and rich configuration show its practical achievements. So on this top-of-the-top 05+, almost any compact SUV should have the same configuration, it is the same in the car.
Like what a conventional full LCD instrument, central control large screen, HUD, seat heating, voice recognition, automatic air conditioning are needless to say, this car is even equipped with a co-pilot seat boss key. I think Lynk & Co should know better than anyone that no boss wants to sit in the back row of 05+, but I have to tell everyone: My configuration is rich enough to make you feel bad.
05+ one shoulder carries the "strongest power system under the CMA architecture", and the other shoulder carries the "Volvo technology blessing". More intelligent than ACC adaptive cruise, the pilot assistance is from Volvo,0-150km/h activation range, far more than some non-full-speed domain adaptive cruise can solve the driving fatigue during congestion, and in the handling of more complex side car congestion and other issues, the handling of pilot assistance will be more timely and gentle. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the HUD, LCD instrument, and central control screen of 05+ can achieve three-screen linkage, especially after opening the navigation, this function is the most convenient.
After combining the track and daily road experience, I still give it praise, but this time I want to make a more rational recommendation, 05+ buy low match. Because the saying that "such a large car is less than 250,000" is far more easy than explaining "why does a domestic compact SUV sell for more than 260,000 yuan" to get the family's financial power to pay for it.
