Development began in 2013 with the goal of producing a highly flexible vehicle platform.[11] Only the distance between the centre of the front wheels and the pedal box is fixed, everything else can be configured to suit the intended vehicle design.[12][3]
The platform debuted in August 2017 with the release of the Lynk & Co 01. The CMA platform configuration featured the four-cylinder 2 litre petrol and diesel engines, but also new 1.5-litre, three-cylinder engines with turbocharged and naturally aspirated variations.[13] The platform will also accommodate a plug-in hybrid configuration capable of 180 bhp, supplemented by a 74 bhp electric motor.[13]
Besides being used in Lynk, Volvo and Polestar, the platform is used in a handful of Geely models.
The Compact Modular Architecture platform is shared with Chinese startup company, Lynk & Co.[14] The Lynk & Co 01 SUV will be the first of several Lynk & Co models to be underpinned by the CMA platform.[15]
Volvo released its first fully electric car Polestar 2 based on the CMA platform in 2019.[16]
