Small Laude's big auto upgrade

Lynk & Co 06 Origin SE SUV

Published May 30, 2025 07:19 am
She may have a seemingly diminutive moniker, but it’s in stark contrast to her expansive social media presence and her unabashed, outspoken nature. Quite appropriate then that she enters her driving era in a big way with the Lynk & Co 06 — a stylish and sophisticated crossover SUV that fits Small Laude’s larger-than-life character.
Small Laude has become a standout figure in the Philippine social media landscape as a content creator who balances elegance, humor, and authenticity, delivered with her signature candid storytelling. She’s relatable and brings effortless glamor in everything she does — just like the Lynk & Co 06, which features a stunning exterior design, a premium cabin, and Swedish design and engineering from top to bottom.
“This partnership with Lynk & Co feels so aligned with who I am and what I love,” Small Laude shares. “When I first saw the 06 in Pastel Lilac, I was like, ‘Okay, this is me.’ It’s chic, spacious, and super techie... but not intimidating! Which is why I got my own unit! And after spending more time with it, I love the comfortable seats and all these smart features that make life easier. As someone who gets really busy with managing my business, while doing vlogs on the side, it’s my happy little bubble on wheels.”
“Distinctly Dynamic” in both form and function, the Lynk & Co 06 pairs bold design with top notch driving and safety features. It is equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder turbo engine paired with a dual-clutch transmission that delivers 181-Ps and 290-Nm of torque, balancing performance and efficiency. Inside, the car’s 12.3-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system is ergonomically designed for easy operation, while wireless charging ditches the cable chaos.
Safety also takes the front seat with features like a 360° panoramic camera with 180° transparent chassis view; blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning, among the 06’s standout ADAS features.
And now, the 06 just became more accessible with a new 06 Origin SE, which is now available for as low as P1,099,000. The same upscale distinction and premium quality now comes at a more attainable price point, making this Swedish-designed ride more accessible to the Filipino market.
“When Small Laude shows up, there’s nothing ‘small’ about it. She’s unapologetically herself; she’s sophisticated yet playful, accessible yet aspirational, and that’s exactly the kind of energy we generate at Lynk & Co,” said Lynk & Co Philippines Brand Head, Franz Decloedt. “With Small Laude behind the wheel of the 06 SUV, we are primed to enter an exciting new chapter for Lynk & Co Philippines as we continue to connect and collaborate with more Filipinos.”
Decloedt continues: “We invite everyone to get linked and connected with us. Watch the Lynk & Co space closely, because we’re cooking up even more things to get you excited. More unexpected moments are coming, and with Small Laude stepping into the Lynk & Co world, the road just got a lot more fabulous.”
