According to the patent images exposed by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the Lynk & Co 05, based on the CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) platform jointly developed by Volvo and Geely, features a fastback style of coupe SUV, while its front face still retains Lynk & Co family's iconic design.

Besides, the PHEV version of the Lynk & Co 05 is supposed to hit the market. Its powertrain combines a 132kW 1.5-litre turbocharged engine with a plug-in hybrid system for a combined fuel consumption of 1.3 litres per 100 kilometers.

It is said that the automaker is developing an E-segment 7-seater luxury SUV code-named EX11, which features the similar size to the Volvo XC90. Some local media outlets said the new model is expected to be the Lynk & Co 06, which is designed to rival premium models like the Lexus RX.

The EX11 will be built on the DMA (D-segment modular architecture) platform, an automobile platform jointly developed by Geely and Volvo for premium vehicles and NEVs. According to Geely, the DMA platform is created on the basis of the CMA platform, and will focus on B-segment SUVs and SUVs in larger segment.
