Geely Automobile’s new global brand, Lynk & Co., will start sales of its first model, an SUV developed with Volvo Cars, in 2018 in Europe and in the U.S. The launches will happen after a debut in China late next year.

The compact SUV will be called 01 and will be a hybrid powered by a 1.5-liter, three-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric motor. The SUV will rival models such as the Nissan Qashqai and will offer a manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Lynk also plans to add a compact sedan and other models to its lineup. The models will have numerical names including 02 and 03. It also plans to offer plug-in hybrids and full-electric vehicles.
