Today we're diving into the latest gem from the innovative Swedish-Chinese brand that's been making waves in the Middle East—Lynk & Co.

With a dazzling lineup that already includes the entry-level 01 crossover, the chic 05 SUV, the luxurious 09, and the sleek 03 sedan, what could possibly be next? Introducing the all-new 2025 Lynk & Co 06, the smallest yet punchy sibling in the Lynk & Co family!

unched recently in Qatar, this subcompact crossover features a head-turning design, a modern interior brimming with hi-tech gadgets, and a powerful 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, to compete in the cutthroat subcompact crossover market, facing the likes of the Geely Coolray, the Omoda 5, and the Changan CS35 Plus.

Let’s start with the looks—because wow, this thing is sharp. It definitely has that recognizable Lynk & Co DNA—you can see the family resemblance to the 01 and 05, right? It has a similar design but still manages to have its own thing going on...and that's what makes the Lynk & Co family so cohesive and appealing.

Up front, there is a pair of eye-catching LED headlights, along with the brand’s signature “Aurora Borealis” daytime running lamps. Moving further back, a sculpted hood gracefully transitions to a gently sloping windshield. The dynamic profile is accentuated by 18-inch sporty alloy wheels, a contrast-colored roof, and sleek black window pillars, creating an elegant two-toned look.

The rear design is further enhanced by the striking "Energy Cube" LED taillights, an angular lower rear bumper, a sleek roof-mounted spoiler, and dual exhaust tailpipes, adding to its stylish and aggressive look.

In terms of dimensions, the Lynk & Co 06 measures 4592 mm long, 1879 mm wide, and 1628 mm tall, with a 2640 mm long wheelbase. Nice and compact for those city streets!
