The introduction is the third model in Lynk & Co.’s European lineup and signifies the company’s entry into the competitive D-segment SUV market. By 2025, the company intends to penetrate more European markets and increase its retail footprint throughout Europe.
The 08 will be available at Lynk & Co Club locations, online, and through Lynk & Co dealers. It will come in two trim levels: Core and More. Prospective buyers can sign up on the business’ website to get updates and arrange test drives for when the car is ready.
