China’s Geely and Zeekr-owned Swedish automaker Lynk & Co has unveiled its flagship plug-in hybrid 4X4, dubbed Lynk & Co 900, featuring a massive 30-inch 6K screen and second row seats that can rotate 180 degrees.
The launch of the 4X4 marks a departure from Lynk & Co’s established custom of naming models 01, 02 and so on, with the last vehicle in the lineup christened Lynk & Co 09.
The newest 4X4 is available for purchase in China and comes with a starting price tag of $42,520 or 309,900 yuan. Originally founded as a joint brand between Geely and Volvo, Lynk & Co came under the majority ownership of Geely’s Zeekr Intelligent Technology Holding in February 2025 and now offers a wide range of models in the Chinese market.
Launched to compete with Aito M9, the Li Auto L9, and the Denza N9 in China’s domestic market, the 900 has six seats placed to mimic a living room set up where passengers can face each other.
While the middle row seats can turn around completely, the third row can be moved forward or backward by 125mm.
Balancing size and aerodynamics
The Lynk & Co 900 is a large 4X4 measuring 5,240mm in length, 1,999mm in width, and 1,800mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,160mm.
Despite its size, it maintains a relatively low drag coefficient of 0.291 Cd, better than the Li Auto L9’s 0.300 Cd. It has a ground clearance of 194mm and offers R20 or R21 wheels. The mid-trim version features four-piston brake calipers, and a dual-chamber air suspension adds to its driving comfort.
The base model of the Lynk & Co 900 uses the G-Pilot H5 system, powered by two Nvidia Drive Orin-X chips. Higher trims upgrade to the G-Pilot H7 system, which runs on a single Nvidia Drive Thor chip. The vehicle supports Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) for both highway and city driving, CarNewsChina has reported.
The model’s crossover features a 1.5-litre turbocharged gasoline engine producing 188 horsepower, paired with two electric motors – one on the front axle with 215hp and another on the rear with 308hp. Together, they deliver a combined output of 711 horsepower.
The vehicle uses a 44.85kWh ternary NMC battery, offering up to 220km of electric range (CLTC) and a total mixed range of about 1,350km.
The Lynk & Co 900’s second trim is powered by a 2.0-litre engine generating 251 horsepower, along with two electric motors –165hp at the front and 308hp at the rear. The total combined power output is 724 horsepower.
Equipped with a 52.38 kWh ternary NMC battery, it offers up to 280km of electric range (CLTC) and a total mixed range of about 1,350km.
Top trim hits 100km/h in 4.3 seconds
The top variant of the Lynk & Co 900 features the same 2.0-litre internal combustion engine paired with three electric motors. The front e-motor delivers 165hp, while the two rear electric motors provide a combined 456hp.
The system produces a total output of 872hp, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0-100km/h in a mere 4.3 seconds. It offers 268km of electric range (CLTC) and a total mixed range of approximately 1,440km.
Lynk & Co states that the roof rack can support 100kg while driving and 300kg when stationary. The vehicle comes with roughly 21in alloys and large front brake calipers, possibly Akebono, like other Lynk & Co and Zeekr models.
For safety, the 900 features the world’s first one-piece thermoformed side panel for added strength and a W-shaped crumple zone at the front for better frontal impact protection. It is also the only car tested to a rear-end collision standard of 100km/h.
