●? Vehicle history
In terms of qualifications, Lexus 02 and 03, born on 20 18, are still very young, but from the beginning, these two models have more or less shown some international style.
02,2018, as the second model of lectra, was listed in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on March 26th, 2008, and lectra also took this opportunity to announce the brand's strategic planning in the European market. Lingke 02, which is positioned in the compact coupe SUV, is the pioneer in this market segment. Linke 02 has won the favor of many consumers, especially young consumers, with its dynamic appearance, exquisite interior, rich power selection and suitable price.
In addition to the vehicle itself, Link's cross-border marketing around model 02 is also eclectic. For example, in June last year, in order to celebrate the first anniversary of the launch of Model 02, Lectra teamed up with Spanish sports brand JOMA to launch a limited edition running shoe: 02 Aguila, and sold a limited edition of 2,222 pairs. Interestingly, this is not the first time that Lectra has joined hands with this brand. Previously, on the first anniversary of the advent of Lake 0 1, Lake Motor and JOMA jointly launched 0 1? Aries? EVOLVER Evolver sneakers are also available in limited quantities.
Like LEEK 02, LEEK 03 is listed overseas, this time at Fuji Circuit in Japan. In fact, when Model 03 concept car made its debut on 20 17, this car attracted many consumers' attention, because in China market, compact cars and even compact cars of China brand are battlegrounds for military strategists. Kelin 03, a product that looks very different and comes from CMA platform, will naturally attract more attention.
At the launch conference of Lectra 03, Lectra also announced another heavy news-Lectra will set up Lynk? & amp？ Co？ Blue? Team, participate in WTCR race in 20 19 season. With the joint efforts of excellent drivers, engineers, excellent racing cars and many related people, Lynk? & amp？ Co？ Blue? The racing team successfully won the WTCR championship in the 20 19 season. Interestingly, this season at TCR? In the China Series, our car home Racing Team also used a TCR car based on Lectra 03.
Of course, taking advantage of the east wind of the 03 model on the field, Lingke launched a high-performance version called 03+. The maximum power of 254 HP and the peak torque of 350 Nm are transmitted to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the power experience is worthy of the title of high performance. At the same time, the solid chassis adjustment and suspension performance also make the 03+ sports driving experience more perfect.
●? opponent
For the new Link 02, there are more and more compact SUVs with young sports style. At present, the popular rivals of Lake 02 are FAW-Volkswagen T-ROC and Mazda CX-30.
As a member of FAW-Volkswagen in the compact SUV market, T-ROC's competitiveness in exploring songs should not be underestimated. Appearance, two-wheel drive R-Line? The design of the front and rear bumpers and the embellishment of details on the Pro model give the slightly serious appearance the necessary sporty atmosphere. If you add storm blue car paint, it will have a more "inner taste." The design and details in the car may not be as interesting as Lexus 02, but the production technology and texture that Volkswagen has always been good at still keep the song competitive. Of course, the combination of 1.4T engine and 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox also provides Tango with an efficient and smooth walking foundation.
Compared with Lake 02, Mazda CX-30 is a newer player in this market. Mazda's latest design language makes CX-30 have a more beautiful and moving appearance. Although the design that relies on rich surface changes to create a sense of high quality is not as easy to be perceived as powerful details, the beautiful posture of CX-30 is amazing under certain light and shadow and environment. The feeling of advanced appearance also extends to the CX-30 car. The simpler central control design lets us know that Mazda designers are very good at simplifying the complex, and at the same time, the more exquisite material combination and assembly technology can make people realize that Mazda wants to upgrade to the advanced level for the first time. Brand determination. More importantly, the latest compression ignition engine will soon be equipped with CX-30, and the combination of new technology and new design will attract many consumers.
In addition, at the press conference, the official of Link Auto also announced the "Territorial Partner Program". On the Link App, the "Territory Partner Function Zone" has been officially launched, and users can receive Co coins through display, punching, evaluation and consumption, and enjoy subsequent preferential services. At the same time, Link also established Link Performance Car Club, where members will enjoy exclusive certification, various training courses and other preferential experiences.
Editor's comment:
Fashionable appearance, relatively exquisite interior, rich configuration, strong power and high cost performance are the outstanding performances of Lectra 02 and 03, which are also the highlights widely praised by users. Of course, the lack of interior space, especially in the back row, and the inadequate noise control are also the reasons that prevent more consumers from choosing Lectra 02 and 03. At present, there seems to be no way to solve the space disadvantage of the model, but it is still curious whether the sound insulation problem can be optimized on the new model, so we will bring you evaluation as soon as we get the test drive. And whether the new customized 03+ champion model can continue the previous popularity and make Lexus take root in the hearts of China performance car consumers has become something I am looking forward to.
