“The design brief for LYNK & CO was simple: the cars should stand out from the crowd and appeal to a truly global audience. From a distance, we have a European design approach. Get closer, and you see more and more detail, such as the intricate lights, and the type of grain on the interior leather. A strong wide grille completes the distinctive ‘face’ of the car. We wanted to acknowledge that our users are extremely tech-savvy - a smartphone is an integral part of their lives and our interior design reflects that and feels familiar in the context of new technology”. Andreas Nilsson, Head of Geely Design Sweden
