Strategy Analytics conducted an evaluation of the Lynk & Co 01 21MY. The infotainment system does the job with a large amount of real state that allows having a very flat menu structure. It also has some nice touches and ‘not-so-hidden gems’, which may surprise and delight their target customers. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay may mitigate the pain of not having GAS when wanting to use Google Maps, but the voice assistant’s metallic quality is likely to be off-putting.
