The new Lynk & Co 900, created in cooperation between the Chinese automobile giant Geely and the Swedish Volvo, has officially debuted on the Chinese market, becoming the most powerful and modern model of the brand. The three-row hybrid SUV with a design inspired by the Range Rover is now available for order at a starting price of 289,900 yuan, which is equivalent to approximately 35,000 euros at the current exchange rate.
This amount includes a version with a capacity of 724 hp, but the manufacturer also offers more productive modifications. The full price range starts at 309,900 yuan (about 37,500 euros) and goes up to 416,900 yuan (about 50,500 euros), although there are discounts at the start of sales, so the car can be purchased for 250,900 (that is, approximately 30,000 euros).
The flagship is built on the new SPA Evo platform, which provides it with a whole range of modern technologies. These include aerodynamic elements in the front bumper, a fully steerable chassis with the ability to turn the rear wheels by up to 20 degrees, as well as a unique “crab mode“, which allows the car to move diagonally. This feature, previously available only on select premium SUVs, greatly facilitates maneuvering in difficult conditions.
The interior of the Lynk & Co 900 reflects the brand's commitment to maximum comfort and technology. The car is equipped with a 6K slide monitor, a Harman/Kardon audio system with speakers built into the headrests, a built-in refrigerator and electric seat adjustments in all three rows, which is rare even among luxury crossovers. In terms of equipment, the Lynk & The Co 900 actually belongs to the upper echelon of the premium SUV segment.
The model is available in several versions with different power units. The base version is a hybrid with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and two electric motors, providing a system power of 711 hp. This version is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 44.85 kWh, which allows for a range of up to 220 km in all-electric mode, and the total range reaches 1,355 km.
Next is the modification with a two-liter turbo engine and more powerful electric motors - the system power here is 724 hp, and the battery capacity increases to 52.38 kWh. Such a Lynk & Co 900 is capable of traveling up to 280 km without using gasoline and a full range of up to 1,350 km.
The most powerful modification is equipped with a two-liter internal combustion engine and three electric motors, which together generate an impressive 872 hp. This crossover accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. It is capable of traveling up to 268 km in pure electric mode, and the total mileage is 1,443 km, which puts it in direct competition with hybrid flagships such as the Aito M9, Li Auto L9 and Denza N9.
