Lynk & Co 08

The Lynk & Co 08 is a high-tech mid-size crossover SUV that represents the collaborative engineering between Chinese and Swedish automotive traditions. Unveiled in 2023, it is built on the Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) 2.0 platform, a technical foundation shared with Volvo vehicles. This model is primarily manufactured at the Meishu plant in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China.

Lynk & Co was established as a global mobility brand to bridge the gap between Geely's mass-market offerings and Volvo's luxury positioning. While the brand emphasizes its Swedish design roots—with its global design center located in Gothenburg—the ownership and industrial backbone are firmly rooted in the Geely ecosystem. The 08 specifically focuses on advanced plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains, integrating Meizu-developed software for its digital cockpit.

The brand is a joint venture between Geely Auto and Volvo Cars, both of which are subsidiaries of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. As of 2026, the brand remains a crucial part of Geely's premium strategy, leveraging shared R&D across several international markets while maintaining a significant manufacturing presence in mainland China.
