Vehicle model
Lynk&Co 01
The Lynk&Co 01 is a compact crossover SUV, the brand's first model, unveiled in production form in 2017 and produced at the Volvo plant in Luqiao alongside the Volvo XC40 and the Polestar 2. It is Lynk&Co's flagship vehicle and its spearhead in Europe, where it was launched in 2020 in a plug-in hybrid version, sold largely through flexible monthly subscriptions. Aimed at families and urban drivers seeking a modern, connected SUV at a "near premium" price, it received a facelift for 2022 with new hybrid powertrains. On the tire and wheel side, the 01 shares the dimensions typical of the CMA platform (17- to 19-inch wheels, 5x108 bolt pattern); in Quebec, a dedicated winter set would be essential. With the brand still absent from North America, the 01 is not officially marketed there.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Lynk&Co reprennent des dimensions de pneus et de jantes typiques de leurs cousines Volvo/Geely. Les compacts CMA (01, 03) utilisent généralement des jantes de 17 à 19 pouces, tandis que le grand SUV 09 (base XC90) monte couramment du 20 voire 21 pouces. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) le plus fréquent sur ces plateformes est le 5x108, courant chez Volvo. Pour un usage au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés sont essentiels et obligatoires en saison ; une seconde monte en diamètre de jante inférieur (par exemple 17 ou 18 pouces) avec pneus hiver est un choix répandu pour le confort et le coût. Les chiffres exacts dépendent du modèle et de la finition.
