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]

Applications

CMA Evo (CMA 2.0)/ SMA (Scalable Modular Architecture)

In 2023, Geely announced the CMA Evo platform, the variant dedicated for PHEV, with its first vehicle Lynk & Co 08.

The CMA Evo platform demonstrates significantly enhanced safety performance compared to the original CMA. Through an integrated design combining the rear crash beam, energy absorption box, and rear longitudinal beam, the platform achieves significantly enhanced structural rigidity.^[21]

In 2025, Volvo announced the XC70 plug-in hybrid SUV developed based on Lynk & Co 08. ^[22][23] The vehicle is marketed to be built on the Scalable Modular Architecture (SMA) platform, a re-branded CMA Evo platform of Volvo. ^[24][25]
