00:00Welcome to the video from the Car Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:03Today we're taking a closer look at the interior of the Link & Co.
00:07Note 2. The compact crossover from China presents itself as a genuine alternative
00:12to the usual suspects in the segment and stands out particularly through its futuristic design
00:17and clever solutions. The Link & Co. 2 is based on the SI platform of the Gilly Group and is
00:24therefore closely related to the Volvo EX30. While its Scandinavian brother opts for pure
00:31simplicity, the Note 2 is more playful and tech-savvy. The dashboard and the Link & Co.
00:39Note 2 is designed for maximum clarity and ease of use.
00:47Directly in front of the driver is a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster that is fully
00:52customizable and clearly displays all relevant driving information.
00:58In the center of the cockpit is the large 5.4-inch display, which not only controls the infotainment
01:04system but also integrates the entire automatic climate control system. As with the larger model,
01:11the Link & Co. 01, the 02 also offers a direct connection to the parent company.
01:16Through consistent 5G connectivity and so-called OTA updates, feedback can be sent in real-time,
01:24as well as software updates and notifications.
01:28Traditional operation via physical buttons has been almost entirely replaced by touch surfaces and
01:34digital controls. This creates more space, which in turn is put to good use by clever storage
01:40compartments and two wireless charging cradles for smartphones. A special feature is the integrated
01:47facial recognition system, which automatically adjusts certain settings such as seating position
01:52or preferred media content as soon as a driver is recognized. A camera has also been integrated into
01:59the rearview mirror, which serves as a dashcam and can also be used to share travel experiences on social media.
02:05Another detail that fits the unconventional brand philosophy is the so-called journey camera system.
02:15It allows selfies or group photos to be taken directly via the rearview mirror.
02:20A quite unusual, yet creative solution. No less interesting is the standard car sharing function.
02:27The push of a button next to the steering wheel is all it takes to share the vehicle with multiple users.
02:32Each user's individual configuration is retained, making sharing easier and more convenient.
02:39When it comes to materials, Link and company rely on a mix of sustainability and a modern look.
02:47The so-called core version uses recycled PT fabrics, while the higher quality more version also features
02:53vegan synthetic leather, electrically adjustable and heated front seats with memory function,
02:59and a heated steering wheel. The interior sound is enhanced by a Harman Kardon sound system with a total of 14 speakers.
03:08The overall build quality in the interior is high. The materials have a high quality feel,
03:15the assembly is precise, and the design follows a minimalist line without appearing cold.
03:19A continuous horizontal element in the dashboard visually connects the driver and passenger sides.
03:28This is where both the digital instruments and the central display are located.
03:32The whole thing creates an elegant floating effect and underscores the modern feel of the cockpit.
03:37In terms of space, the Link and Code 2 are generously sized up front, while the rear seems a bit better,
03:46at least compared to other crossovers of this size.
03:51The trunk holds approximately 410 liters and can be expanded to around 1350 liters by folding down the rear seat backs.
03:59The fully electric version also features a small additional storage space under the hood,
04:06which can be used for a charging cable, for example.
