Lynk & Co is presenting the 03 in Vietnam as a sportier alternative to the practical high-riding vehicles that dominate the market. The sedan draws on the racing version 03 TCR, associated with Cyan Racing’s nine major titles in the FIA World Touring Car Cup (WTCR), and carries aerodynamic-inspired styling intended to set it apart from conventional C-segment sedans.

Design details include distinctive daytime running lights mounted on the hood, a rear wing, dual exhaust outlets and a rear bumper with airflow channels. Inside, the driver-focused cabin features closely bolstered seats, a flat-bottom D-shaped steering wheel and suede accents. A 15.4-inch touchscreen sits alongside a 12.3-inch digital instrument display. The car uses the CMA platform, with reinforced high-strength steel cited for torsional rigidity and stability through corners.

Both Vietnamese versions use a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 174 hp and 290 Nm, paired with a wet seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Lynk & Co says the suspension has been tuned for a more comfortable daily ride. Listed safety and convenience equipment includes electronic stability control, cruise control, a 360-degree camera and tire-pressure monitoring.

The Plus is priced at VND 739 million and the Pro at VND 788 million. Both come with a six-year or 175,000-kilometer warranty. Buyers in October are offered a package valued at VND 24 million, comprising window film, a dashcam, floor mats and one year of Tasco body insurance.
