First spy pictures of what could be Geely-owned Lynk & Co’s second model, a sedan, have surfaced online. The model, codenamed CS 11, shares its platform with the 01 SUV, which is based on Volvo’s new Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform, revealed in October last year with pictures also indicative of similar styling and interiors.
While the test mule was heavily disguised, the front fascia shows design cues such as the high-set headlamps, end-to-end running rectangular grille with integrated turn signals and fog lamps. From the side, the test mule featured a standard three-box sedan shape. The rear was also heavily camouflaged, though the shape of the tail-lamps was visible.
Inside, the cabin layout is expected to be similar to the 01 SUV revealed last year. The front seats of the test mule were one-piece buckets with fixed headrests.
Under the hood, the new sedan is set to feature a range of three- and four-cylinder petrol and hybrid engines developed by Volvo.
The sedan is also expected to be the basis of an all-new small sedan from Volvo based on the new CMA platform as part of the next-gen 40-series family which is expected to debut with the all-new XC40 sometime this year.
