This review was filmed before we learned that Zeekr would be buying out Volvo's shares of the Lynk & Co brand, giving them a 51% stake in L&C, with the remaining 49% going to Geely Auto (the mother company for all three brands). It's important to point out that I haven't heard any news saying that L&C will disappear or that they will merge with Zeekr to become a new brand, at least for now. I do think that this will ultimately happen, because even Geely admits that the two brands have too much overlap (as I discuss in this video!), and are competing with each other unnecessarily. The whole thing just seems like a way to shuffle money around Geely Group, including getting some emergency funding to Volvo and Polestar, both of which could really use it right now. It also indicates a much needed consolidation, because as I've stated multiple times, Geely has TOO MANY BRANDS.
I think the Chinese auto market would benefit greatly from more of this. There are too many brands, period! Which is deeply confusing for the average consumer. Hell, even those of us who subscribe to channels like yours struggle to keep up! Another great review btw.....always enjoyable.
@@Patrick-bu5vyAs a Chinese customer, I have a differentopinion,I think more brands means morecompetition, thus bringing better priceand products. Even some brands arefrom the same company, they willcompete with each other and offer lowerprice to sell more cars (just like Zeeker007 vs L&C Z10 vs Robocar 07)
Wait so zeekr which is actually a sub- brand grown our of L&C Is buying out Volvo's stake which essentially helped build both of these brands After geely everyone's mother brand bought them out . Gosh what a mess
I have seen this car for real at Geely Design/Zeekr Design here in Gothenburg, Sweden, where it was designed (I worked there myself earlier this year). It was standing next to Lynk & Co "The Next Day Concept", from where it borrowed suprisingly much of its design. Never thought Lynk & Co would dare to do such a radical car.
And they truly did an amazing job with that. Haven’t seen such a nice design so far, the ratios are exceptionally beautiful almost perfect design. I hope they don’t touch the design anymore and invest more to improve drive and other features. This car is almost perfect … looking sedan.
When sibling brands under the Geely family (Zeekr, Lynk and Co., Volvo, Geely, Polestar and Proton) outdoing themselves in terms of features, functionalities and styling 😅😅😅
Yet another Chinese car that looks great, has a great price and is sold only in China for now. It MIGHT come to Europe as we hear 1000 times a year.... and when it does will suddenly cost double > sell poorly as a result. Fantastic....
My front left is Brigdestone, right is Linglong and rear left is Hankook and right rear is some another unknown Chinese brand. Man the grip is amazingly ......crazy.
@@Briggsian $28k is before the government subsidy, you get the deduction depending which province you buy it, each local government have different subsidy.
@yezih2694 That would have the opposite effect due to an increased supply of older vehicles flooding the market as people take advantage of the subsidies.
@@Briggsian yep, but that is exactly the governments intention to get rid of the old ICE vehicles. Once these car got trade in, they will be dismantled and recycled.
Ha ha. No one talks about 3 quarter panels quite like you do Ethan.😂 You're an inspiration to my upcoming video drop of my drive of the Cyberster but sadly I am no match. 😎
When you see one of these Chinese EVs in person you'll know what all the fuss is about. They look absolutely stunning. Me thinks that's one reason Musk is cozying up to Trump and his protectionism policies
Of course not. Think about your European car brands' behavior of downgrade and increasing prices regardless of the Chinese market demand. Now is the time for you to adapt to us！！！But we'd be happy to sell you some “specialized supplied cars”, just like what Volkswagen did to Chinese market, if your government agrees
Yes, this is extremely well executed car design in the proportions and overall lines. The details aren't anything special. But man, the proportions... I think the designers here have created something very special.
I thought the front seat was really soft and shapeless compared to my 03+. At 6ft the seat does not go low enough and your head is into the roof/sunshade area and feels like you are going to bounce your head into the glass roof on the slightest bounce.
What's going on with the FPC? I can't open the post from earlier today it just says "I wanted to talk to you" then click for more and it doesn't load...
Sorry about that! I foolishly thought that current members would still be able to see the post after I ended memberships. I’ve copied the content of the post below! Hello, Fanny Pack Cub! Apologies for going so long without a post, but that's actually why I wanted to speak with all of you today. Myself and the rest of the Wheelsboy Team consider it a real honor that so many of you have been willing to pay us each month to support the content we make, but we've decided to end the Wheelsboy Memberships, at least for now. There are multiple reasons for this decision, starting with the fact that we simply don't have time to provide the extra content needed to justify taking your money each month. For those who don't know, we also make content in Chinese for domestic Chinese platforms, so we've got double the workload of your average content creator. The current member benefits also include early access to content, but providing early access means that we often have to choose between posting content at the same time as other creators and taking advantage of the algorithm, or posting it to members first and ultimately receiving far fewer views. Views means revenue, but it also means more subscribers, more influence, and ultimately more access to new vehicles in the future. The other reason is that we've finally seen an uptick in companies willing to sponsor videos, so that helps to lessen the financial strain that comes with managing a channel and creating content at our level of quality. Since that was the entire point of memberships, we now have one less reason to continue asking you for your money each month. The upside is that we will continue to bring you the same content that you love, and we won't ask for anything in return except your viewership. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your support! We look forward to bringing you more insights into the world of Chinese EVs for years to come!
With the all-glass roof, would this car pass vehicle safety testing in the US? I thought cars needed a protection bar across the frame of the roof for rollover crashes.
Hi @wheelsboy and team! Sorry to see you've cancelled the FPC... Unfortunately you posted this as a members-only post and video, then cancelled the FPC subscription an hour or so later, so we can no longer see the post! Any chance you could unlock the short video or something? Thanks.
Lynk & Co only makes sense if the subscription model (reason they were created to begin with) panned out, which as far as I know is gone completely except for maybe one or two markets?
Hum, I still highly prefer the Zeerk 007, especially its interior design. From now on, let’s more about Zeekr and Lynk&Co status and oversea market strategy.
I'd like to see some mid-size sedans or hot hatches. These E-class sedans are too big for european cities. BYD Seal is the only one we've got so far. Some kind of 2+2 seater sport coupe would be nice too.
finally lynk and co, and zeekr fells like two diffrent. but that still looks like a zeekr. and i will never find how somone finds that designeally nice.
Gorgeous looking car. For some reason feels a little like Nissan design language. Imagine if this was the new Nissan Maxima. Nissan would be saved instead of in the dumps 😂
This thing can easily mow down the3 series nd C class or A4. And made the M3 C63 and S4 run for the money l. 0-100 under 4 second. That was the number you can brag all the time in the petrol world.
You can't even buy an American car that comes close to that.. you can't get dirt for 28k in America you kidding.. in fact average EV or ICE in America starts at 40k to 80k... plus.. trucks are hitting 100k plus Trump's tariff will push them up over 60k to 160k

Wait so zeekr which is actually a sub- brand grown our of L&C
Is buying out Volvo's stake which essentially helped build both of these brands
After geely everyone's mother brand bought them out .
Gosh what a mess
Thank you China for bringing back Sedans with all their elegance
lol
Thats a beautiful looking sedan, man the Chinese are on a roll
That's a threat to national security bro
@@kuotovjogg6752 lol
The price kills me. We are getting totally ripped off for everything in america
And will be even more expensive once the tariffs kick in.

目前中国对电动车的投入是空前的，希望看到你们更加优秀的设计！我们都是地球人，和平！

@@kibakobo I did not personally work with this car, but I know many of the designers who did. I worked at Zeekr.
Looks better than the zeekr sedan. Especially the front end.

💯 better than Tesla
Requested for this review and here it comes,thanks man
If that STANCE setup is standard, their designers need a properly good raise
That’s that it suspension at its lowest settings, and I agree that it looks fantastic.
Long time viewer.nice job 👏
Wow. Those headlights are impressively thin. Hopefully they get adequate cooling.
Maybe 2nd best looking after the Avatr 12
I will admit, it's stiff competition between this and the 12!
@@WheelsboyCheck out the Xpeng Mona m03
Luxeed s7&then the jiyue07 are both better looking than this insectoid looking thing!
Wait, USD26.000?? What the f**k!
Yup. You can get nice EVs and PHEVs for less than $15k in China. Very competitive market with lots of government subsidies.
@@Briggsian $28k is before the government subsidy, you get the deduction depending which province you buy it, each local government have different subsidy.
@@Briggsianin my province you have to trade in you old car to get extra government subsidy, which jacked up the price for old crappy second hand cars😂

@@Briggsian yep, but that is exactly the governments intention to get rid of the old ICE vehicles. Once these car got trade in, they will be dismantled and recycled.
I wonder if there is a big difference between this car and the Zeekr 001.
Thx for the review btw!
I would like to see Lynk & Co in the UK and some other European countries like Slovakia.
Looks so good, hope to get it here in Slovenia, now that Lynk&Co is officially sold here ❤❤
Ha ha. No one talks about 3 quarter panels quite like you do Ethan.😂 You're an inspiration to my upcoming video drop of my drive of the Cyberster but sadly I am no match. 😎
Yeah this one is DEFINITELY a national security issue 😂
Is there like 100 Chinese auto brands?
About 170 in fact
Lmao true, but they are good, damn.
When you see one of these Chinese EVs in person you'll know what all the fuss is about. They look absolutely stunning. Me thinks that's one reason Musk is cozying up to Trump and his protectionism policies
Can we have this car downscaled to 0,85x? The car is nice but its size is completely wrong for humans living in Europe.
Of course not. Think about your European car brands' behavior of downgrade and increasing prices regardless of the Chinese market demand. Now is the time for you to adapt to us！！！But we'd be happy to sell you some “specialized supplied cars”, just like what Volkswagen did to Chinese market, if your government agrees
@lhclhc3867 you don't understand, cars this huge won't literally fit on parking, garage and roads in Europe. Nobody here would buy them.
Yes, this is extremely well executed car design in the proportions and overall lines. The details aren't anything special. But man, the proportions... I think the designers here have created something very special.
Love the design, the details
Zeekr have one of the best looking lights (personal taste) 😀
Like the two car shot mate.
It's a gorgeous car and reminds me of the Ionic 6.
Being reminded of the ioniq 6 is kind of an insult to this car. The ioniq 6 is hideous.
What the heck. Ionic6?! 😂. Time for that next optometrist appointment 😂
When are you getting hold of the Aion UT. Desperate to see a review on one of them, think it’ll be a huge seller
Is safe to use the Soocas Neos ii while driving?

where are the green jacket and pants from?
If this comes to Australia I’m trading in my BYD Seal for it asap
I'm starting to feel envious towards the chinese market

That button on the wheel looks like a reference to the ferrari "manettino dial" Which switches the cars mode.

because both brands belong to same company Geely
Looks like if polestar made a cool sedan
L&C if you hear me, I'm waiting with my money for the European version of this car 💰
This looks almost like a sportscar/supercar. The exterior reminds me of those long wheelbase Ferraris.
WTF?? You would rather have the high SUV sitting position for viewing angles than pigeonholed into a man cave LOL
It looks gorgeous bc it looks like a Zeekr
Waiting for the dongfeng hiro!
That is a fine looking car!
我发现车轮哥喜欢挑剔平民车内饰的塑料装饰件，对于2.5~3万美元的车来说这种挑剔这完全没有必要的。

This was filmed prior to that announcement, I'll address it in a pinned comment.
