Under the official distributorship of the United Asia Auto Group, Inc. (UAAGI), global auto brand Lynk & Co proudly showcased its innovative EV and ICE model lineup at the 2025 Manila International Auto Show (MIAS 2025), held at the World Trade Center in Pasay City from April 10–13, 2025.
A Global Brand Continued to Grow in the Philippines
In its second year in the Philippine automotive industry, Lynk & Co Philippines once again brought excitement and anticipation to Filipino motorists with an array of vehicles designed to engage the senses.
“Lynk & Co’s second year marked a powerful stride towards the future of Filipino driving,” said UAAGI Chairman Rommel L. Sytin. “We were thrilled to witness Filipinos leading this charge behind the wheel of a modern and innovative Lynk & Co ride, proving that a premium driving experience could be both attainable and sustainable. We were proud to be part of a movement that’s redefining the new standard in premium mobility for Filipinos.”
Lynk & Co Urban Playground: A Hub of Youthful Energy
At MIAS 2025, Filipinos experienced Lynk & Co firsthand at the brand’s dedicated space: the Lynk & Co Urban Playground. This vibrant and dynamic display embodied the youthful and energetic spirit of Lynk & Co, reflecting the brand’s core values of innovation and connection. More than just a car display, the Urban Playground was designed to resonate with the modern Filipino driver, showcasing the brand’s unique blend of style, performance, and technology.
“Lynk & Co’s modern design, innovative technology, advanced driving and safety systems, and European lineage carried with them a unique distinction that set the brand apart,” said Lynk & Co Brand Head Franz Decloedt. “The brand endeared itself to Filipinos looking to make a premium, yet sensible, vehicle upgrade.”
Headlining the Show: The Lynk & Co 02
The main highlight at the Urban Playground was the launch of the much-anticipated Lynk & Co 02: a premium, sporty e-SUV and Lynk & Co Philippines’ first fully electric vehicle offering. This sleek and attractive coupe fastback challenged the local EV market with exceptional product specifications, sporty driving dynamics, refined interior, and ergonomic European design.
The Lynk & Co 02 offered a long driving range of 435 km (WLTP) on a full charge and could charge from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes. Its powerful electric motor propelled it from 0–100 kph in only 5.5 seconds with 272Ps and 343 Nm of torque. The vehicle’s aerodynamic design—with a drag coefficient of 0.25 Cd thanks to 13 drag-reduction optimizations—enhanced battery efficiency and extended its range.
The 02’s exterior showcased Lynk & Co’s new “The Next Day” design language, complete with Dynamic Day Rays LED DRLs, Megacity Horizon LED Tail Lights, and a Black Diamond Panoramic UV-coated Glass Roof. Inside, it featured seats made from recycled PET plastic, Wireless Apple CarPlay (with Wireless Android Auto coming June 2025), a 14-speaker Harman Kardon Audio System, and an impressively quiet cabin due to excellent NVH engineering.
As with all Lynk & Co models, safety remained paramount. The 02 was equipped with a 540-degree all-around view camera, a 16-point ADAS, and both passive and active safety systems that met stringent safety and collision standards. It came with a 150,000 km or 5-year vehicle warranty, whichever came first.
The Lynk & Co 02 Premium Sporty E-SUV had a starting price of Php 1,788,000.00, offering compelling value for those seeking premium features without the premium price tag of other luxury brands.
A MIAS Exclusive and Philippine First
The Urban Playground also hosted a very special model preview: the Philippine debut of the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P SUV. This plug-in hybrid EV featured an adaptive hybrid system with a pure electric driving range of 200 km+ (WLTP) and a combined hybrid range of over 1,000 km+, all wrapped in Lynk & Co’s futuristic “The Next Day” design. The 08 EM-P didn’t just aim to compete—it aimed to redefine the category.
In addition to the 02 EV, the Urban Playground showcased the brand’s full lineup of Swedish-designed and engineered models, including:
- 01 PHEV: 47.08 Km/L combined hybrid mileage
- 03+ Sports Sedan: Award-winning and race-ready
- 05 AWD Fastback SUV: Athletic and sporty
- 06 SUV Origin SE Edition: Now starting at Php 1,099,000.00
This display emphasized that there was a Lynk & Co vehicle for every lifestyle, tailored to the diverse needs of Filipino motorists.
Lynk & Connect with Lynk & Co Philippines
The Lynk & Co Urban Playground at MIAS 2025 was more than just a car display—it was an immersive brand experience. It was an opportunity for Filipino motorists to connect with a car brand that embodied youthful energy, innovation, and a unique lifestyle.
Attendees test drove the latest Lynk & Co vehicles at the UAAGI Performance Center beside the main driveway of the World Trade Center, discovering firsthand the brand’s premium mobility solutions. Many walked away not only with exclusive promos and perks but also a new perspective on what it means to drive a modern vehicle in the Philippines.
