Lynk & Co continues to expand its footprint in the GCC automotive market with the introduction of the 2025 Lynk & Co 06. This compact crossover SUV is built on Geely’s BMA platform, the same architecture used in the Geely Coolray. Since its debut in 2020, the 06 has gained attention for its bold styling and modern interior. Now available in Saudi Arabia in two trims, Core Plus and Hyper Halo, each version offers a tailored mix of comfort, technology, and driver assistance to meet different customer needs.
Sporty Design with Urban Appeal
The exterior of the Lynk & Co 06 exudes a youthful, dynamic character, starting with its wide front grille and sleek LED headlights. A black panoramic sunroof enhances the upscale appearance while creating a more spacious feel inside the cabin. The SUV rides on 18 inch aluminum alloy wheels, while the Hyper Halo trim adds upscale touches such as welcome lighting on the side mirrors, power folding mirrors, and chrome accented exhaust outlets. Rain sensing wipers and modern LED taillights further contribute to the premium aesthetic.
In terms of proportions, the 06 measures 4,340 mm in length, 1,820 mm in width, and 1,625 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,640 mm. Curb weight ranges from 1,430 to 1,465 kg. Cargo capacity starts at 280 liters and expands to 1,025 liters with the rear seats folded.
Premium Cabin with Smart Features
Inside, the 2025 06 offers a modern and practical experience. Smart keyless entry comes standard, and the SUV accommodates up to five passengers on sporty leather seats. The front seats offer electric adjustment, six ways for the driver and four for the front passenger, while lumbar support is exclusive to the Hyper Halo trim.
A 12.3 inch infotainment touchscreen takes center stage on the dashboard, paired with a 10.25 inch digital instrument display. Connectivity is comprehensive, with Bluetooth, digital radio, AM/FM, and multiple USB ports in the front and rear, supported by a 6 speaker sound system. The Hyper Halo trim upgrades the experience with ambient cabin lighting, dual zone automatic climate control, rear air vents, and an advanced air purification system, perfect for the region’s climate.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is a key focus of the Lynk & Co 06, with standard features including six airbags, electronic stability control, anti lock brakes, hill start assist, and a tire pressure monitoring system. All trims include a rearview camera and parking sensors, while the Hyper Halo version enhances visibility with a 360 degree camera system, a side view camera for turns, and a 180 degree transparent chassis view.
The top trim also includes a comprehensive suite of intelligent driver assistance systems such as automatic emergency braking, forward and rear collision alerts, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, smart adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and door opening alerts. These features add significant value and peace of mind for both urban and highway driving.
Efficient Daily Driving with Turbo Power
Under the hood, the Lynk & Co 06 is powered by a 1.5 liter turbocharged inline 4 engine that delivers 181 horsepower and 290 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 7 speed dual clutch (DCT) transmission and drives the front wheels. While all wheel drive is not available, the front wheel drive layout ensures fuel efficiency for daily use. The top speed is rated at 195 km/h, and fuel consumption is estimated at 17 km/L, supported by a 51 liter fuel tank.
In Saudi Arabia, the Core Plus trim is priced at SAR 84,985 (83,178 AED), with a current promotional offer bringing it down to SAR 73,900 (72,329 AED). The Hyper Halo trim retails for SAR 99,935 (97,810 AED), with a discount bringing it to SAR 86,900 (85,052 AED). Prices include VAT but exclude registration and insurance. Buyers also benefit from a 5 year or 150,000 km warranty through the official distributor, Al Jabr Trading.
Strengths and Shortcomings: What to Know Before Buying
The Lynk & Co 06 shines with its modern styling and a robust list of tech features, especially in the Hyper Halo trim. Its digital screens, dual zone climate control, and smart safety systems make it a strong contender in the compact SUV space.
However, some potential downsides may influence buyer decisions. The lack of all wheel drive limits its appeal to those seeking more capability for off road or rough weather use. Additionally, premium features like wireless charging and ambient lighting are limited to the higher trim, which might make the base model feel less compelling for tech focused drivers.
Rivals and Pre Owned Market Options
The 06 competes with several strong contenders in the compact SUV segment, including the Geely Coolray, BAIC X55, Changan CS35 Plus, and GAC GS3 EMZOOM. Each offers its strengths, giving buyers ample options for comparison.
For budget conscious shoppers, the used vehicle market offers a practical alternative. Platforms like the “Mstaml” app provide access to pre owned Lynk & Co models at lower prices. As always, buyers are advised to conduct thorough inspections and vehicle history checks before purchasing to ensure they’re getting good value.
The 2025 Lynk & Co 06 blends bold design, smart features, and value driven pricing, making it a compelling choice for compact SUV buyers in the Gulf region.
