Lynk & Co 01: which 1.5 DCTH to buy
The Lynk & Co 01 is a five-door SUV sold in one generation with two restylings. Every listed version is named 1.5 DCTH. The buying choice is not the name — it is Hybrid versus Plug-in, and which restyling’s numbers you accept. Combined output in the data is 142 hp, 180 hp or 262 hp; mixed consumption is 6.6 L/100 km, 1.2 L/100 km, 1 L/100 km, or not measured; kerb weight is 1730–1879 kg.

There is no price in this dataset, so “which to buy” is which arithmetic you want: more horsepower per litre, less weight per horsepower, a larger tank, or the lowest listed CO2.
Lynk & Co 01 generations: what actually changed
1 generation (2017-11-01 to 2020-06-30) is an SUV 5-doors with two versions, both 1.5 DCTH. The Hybrid 1.5 DCTH is 142 hp (104 kW) at 5500 rpm and 215 Nm at 2500-4000 rpm. The Plug-in 1.5 DCTH is 180 hp (132 kW) at 5500 rpm and 265 Nm at 1500-4000 rpm. Both use a 1477 cm³ turbo 3-cylinder Inline engine, Front, transverse, a 7-speed Robotic gearbox and FWD. Ground clearance is 213 mm on both. The Plug-in is 140 kg heavier at the kerb (1879 kg versus 1739 kg) and carries a 42 L tank versus 54 L. Mixed fuel use is 1.2 L/100 km on the Plug-in and 6.6 L/100 km on the Hybrid. City and highway consumption are not measured on either.
1 generation, restyling 1 (2020-07-01 to 2023-01-31) keeps the SUV 5-doors body and two 1.5 DCTH versions. The Hybrid stays at 142 hp / 215 Nm, but torque is listed at 2500 rpm (not the 2500-4000 band of the first run), injection is Direct injection (direct) instead of Distributed injection (multi-point), mixed consumption is not measured, kerb weight drops 9 kg to 1730 kg, and gross weight rises 90 kg to 2320 kg versus 2230 kg. Ground clearance is not measured. The Plug-in is the outlier of the whole model: 1.5 DCTH at 262 hp (192 kW) and 433 Nm at 1500 rpm — 82 hp and 168 Nm above the 180 hp Plug-in of 1 generation, and 120 hp / 218 Nm above the 142 hp Hybrid. Bore and stroke is 82.0 x 93.2. Mixed use is 1.2 L/100 km, tank 42 L, CO2 27 g/km, kerb 1879 kg, 0–100 km/h 8 s, top speed 210 km/h. Ground clearance is not measured.
1 generation, restyling 2 (from 2022-06-01, end date not measured) overlaps restyling 1 in calendar time and again lists two 1.5 DCTH versions. The Hybrid is still 142 hp / 215 Nm at 2500 rpm, Direct injection (direct), 6.6 L/100 km mixed, 54 L tank, 150 g/km CO2, 9 s to 100 km/h, 190 km/h. Kerb weight is 1800 kg — 70 kg more than restyling 1’s Hybrid (1730 kg) and 61 kg more than 1 generation’s Hybrid (1739 kg). Gross weight is 2300 kg. Ground clearance is not measured. The Plug-in returns to 180 hp / 265 Nm (torque at 1500 rpm, not 1500-4000), mixed 1 L/100 km (0.2 L/100 km below the 1.2 L/100 km of 1 generation and restyling 1 Plug-in), same 42 L tank, 27 g/km CO2, 1879 / 2350 kg, 8 s, 210 km/h. Ground clearance is not measured. Restyling 2 does not list the 262 hp Plug-in.
Production calendar, stated as given: 1 generation ends 2020-06-30; restyling 1 runs 2020-07-01–2023-01-31; restyling 2 starts 2022-06-01. For about seven months they overlap. Wheel sizes are not measured on every version.

Engine size is 1477 cm³ on every row. Bore × stroke is 82 × 93.2 on both 1 generation versions, 82.0 x 93.2 on restyling 1 Plug-in 1.5 DCTH (262 hp), and not measured on the other restyling rows. Horsepower search queries resolve to three figures only: 142, 180, 262.
Performance, mpg / fuel economy
0–100 km/h: Plug-in 1.5 DCTH (180 hp and 262 hp) is 8 s in every generation where it appears. Hybrid 1.5 DCTH (142 hp) is 9 s in every generation. The 262 hp car does not improve the listed sprint versus the 180 hp Plug-in; the extra 82 hp does not change 0–100 in this dataset.
Top speed: 210 km/h on every Plug-in; 190 km/h on every Hybrid — a 20 km/h gap that tracks type, not restyling.
Mixed consumption (the only mpg-style figure given):
- Hybrid 1.5 DCTH (142 hp), 1 generation and restyling 2: 6.6 L/100 km.
- Hybrid 1.5 DCTH (142 hp), restyling 1: not measured.
- Plug-in 1.5 DCTH (180 hp), 1 generation: 1.2 L/100 km.
- Plug-in 1.5 DCTH (262 hp), restyling 1: 1.2 L/100 km.
- Plug-in 1.5 DCTH (180 hp), restyling 2: 1 L/100 km.
City and highway consumption are not measured on all six versions. CO2 is 150 g/km on every Hybrid that lists it, 27 g/km on every Plug-in — 123 g/km lower. Restyling 1 Hybrid still lists 150 g/km even though mixed L/100 km is not measured.
The Hybrid uses 5.4 L/100 km more mixed fuel than the 1.2 Plug-in figures, and 5.6 L/100 km more than restyling 2’s 1 L/100 km Plug-in. That is the economy argument for Plug-in 1.5 DCTH in this catalogue.
Dimensions, weight, ground clearance, tank
Exterior length, width, height, trunk / boot / luggage capacity are not measured. Size and coffre searches cannot be answered with a number from this dataset.

Lightest Lynk & Co 01 in the data: restyling 1 Hybrid 1.5 DCTH at 1730 kg. Heaviest kerb: 1879 kg on every Plug-in. Restyling 2 Hybrid is the heaviest Hybrid (+70 kg versus restyling 1, +61 kg versus 1 generation). Plug-in versus Hybrid kerb gap: +140 kg (1 generation), +149 kg (restyling 1), +79 kg (restyling 2).
Gross weight: Hybrid 2230 / 2320 / 2300 kg across the three time slices; Plug-in 2350 kg wherever listed. Payload by subtraction: 1 generation Hybrid 491 kg (2230−1739); restyling 1 Hybrid 590 kg (2320−1730); restyling 2 Hybrid 500 kg (2300−1800); every Plug-in 471 kg (2350−1879). Restyling 1 Hybrid has the largest payload in the arithmetic; Plug-in 1.5 DCTH has the smallest.
Ground clearance: 213 mm on both 1 generation versions; not measured on restyling 1 and restyling 2.
Tank: Hybrid 1.5 DCTH 54 L; Plug-in 1.5 DCTH 42 L — 12 L less on every Plug-in. Wheel sizes are not measured.
kg per hp (kerb ÷ hp): Hybrid 142 hp: 12.25 / 12.18 / 12.68 kg/hp. Plug-in 180 hp: 10.44 kg/hp (both appearances). Plug-in 262 hp: 7.17 kg/hp.

Suspension is Independent, spring front and rear on all versions. Front brakes Ventilated disc; rear Disc.
Which Lynk & Co 01 version to choose
Use the exact names. There is no second engine family — only 1.5 DCTH, split by 142 / 180 / 262 hp.
Choose Hybrid 1.5 DCTH (142 hp) if you want the lower kerb, the 54 L tank, and you accept 9 s, 190 km/h, 6.6 L/100 km (where measured) and 150 g/km CO2. Among Hybrids, restyling 1 is the lightest (1730 kg) and has the highest payload (590 kg), but mixed consumption is not measured and ground clearance is not measured. 1 generation Hybrid is 9 kg heavier, has 213 mm clearance, multi-point injection, and a published 6.6 L/100 km. Restyling 2 Hybrid is the heaviest Hybrid (1800 kg) with the worst kg/hp of the three (12.68); it buys you the same 142 hp, same 6.6 L/100 km, Direct injection (direct), and no clearance figure.
Choose Plug-in 1.5 DCTH (180 hp) if you want 38 hp and 50 Nm more than the Hybrid, 8 s and 210 km/h, 1.2 or 1.0 L/100 km mixed, 27 g/km CO2, and you accept +140 kg (1 generation) or +79 kg (restyling 2) versus the matching Hybrid, a 12 L smaller tank, and 471 kg payload. Restyling 2’s Plug-in is the only row at 1 L/100 km; 1 generation’s Plug-in is the only 180 hp row with 213 mm clearance and a 1500-4000 Nm band.
Choose Plug-in 1.5 DCTH (262 hp) only in restyling 1. It is the unique high-output Lynk & Co 01: +82 hp and +168 Nm versus 180 hp Plug-in, +120 hp and +218 Nm versus Hybrid, 7.17 kg/hp, 177.4 hp/L. It does not improve 0–100 (still 8 s), top speed (still 210), mixed use (still 1.2), tank (42 L), CO2 (27), or kerb (1879 kg) versus the 180 hp Plug-in. What the extra output buys in this dataset is torque and specific power, not a quicker listed sprint.
If the search is “2022 specs”: restyling 2 starts 2022-06-01 (142 and 180 hp). Restyling 1 is still listed until 2023-01-31, so 2022 can be either 142/262 or 142/180 depending on which restyling the car is. “2023 specs”: restyling 1 ends 2023-01-31; from February 2023 only restyling 2 remains in the data (142 and 180 hp). “2025 specs” and “2026 specs”: not measured as separate catalogues; restyling 2 has no stop date.
Engine problems, check engine light, motor problemen, Volvo motor: not measured. Reliability is not in the data. Interior, price, precio México, trunk space, boot space, luggage capacity, dimensions, height, size comparison: not measured. Do not treat a missing figure as a feature the car lacks — it is simply not measured here.
Short rule from the numbers: Hybrid 1.5 DCTH (142 hp) for tank and mass; restyling 1 Hybrid if payload matters. Plug-in 1.5 DCTH (180 hp) for economy and the 8 s / 210 km/h pair; restyling 2 if 1 L/100 km is the target. Plug-in 1.5 DCTH (262 hp) only if 433 Nm is the reason — it is not a faster 0–100 car in this file.
