By San José, Costa Rica — Lynk & Co, the Swedish-Asian automotive brand, made a splash at Expomóvil 2025 in Costa Rica, showcasing its premium lineup and unveiling its first fully electric vehicle, the Lynk & Co 02. This marks a significant milestone for the brand, just six months after its initial launch in the country and solidifies Costa Rica as the first Latin American market to receive the electric model.
The Expomóvil event serves as a key platform for Lynk & Co to connect with Costa Rican consumers and demonstrate its commitment to design, technology, and a new approach to mobility. The company’s presence underscores its confidence in the Costa Rican market and its growing demand for innovative vehicles.
To understand the legal and business implications of Lynk & Co’s model, we spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from the esteemed Bufete de Costa Rica.
Lynk & Co’s subscription-based approach to car ownership presents novel legal challenges in Costa Rica. Traditional vehicle ownership and leasing laws may not adequately address the nuances of their model, particularly concerning liability in accidents, consumer protection regarding subscription cancellations, and the tax implications of this non-traditional ownership structure. It will be interesting to see how Costa Rican jurisprudence adapts to this emerging business model.

Indeed, the intersection of innovative mobility solutions and existing legal frameworks presents a fascinating area of development. The questions raised by Lic. Arroyo Vargas regarding liability, consumer protection, and taxation are crucial considerations as Lynk & Co enters the Costa Rican market. It will be a valuable learning experience to observe how these legal and regulatory adaptations unfold. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for providing his valuable expertise and insights on this complex topic.
Expomóvil 2025 is a key opportunity for more Costa Ricans to discover what makes Lynk & Co unique. In these months, we have seen that people are looking for more than just a car: they want design, technology, and real support. Presenting our first electric vehicle here, the Lynk & Co 02, and having Costa Rica be the first country in Latin America to receive it, reaffirms our commitment to this market.
