Configuration Highlights of the Lynk & Co 900:

User-Centric Design with Differentiation

With a safety philosophy centered around "making the third row as safe as the first," the Lynk & Co 900 establishes a new safety benchmark for large household SUVs.

Utilizing the SPA Evo architecture, it adopts an integrated dual-door ring design, minimizing components to compress space by 10mm on each side while enhancing collision safety.

The company's publicized double hundred consecutive collision test (involving a 100km/h rear offset collision followed by a 90-degree turn for another collision) simulates extreme high-speed rear-end collision scenarios, validating the safety of third-row passengers, surpassing both C-NCAP (80km/h rear collision, 50km/h side collision) and Euro-NCAP standards.

Test results indicate minimal cabin intrusion, no fire risk, and comprehensive protection for third-row passengers, reflecting Lynk & Co's unwavering commitment to family safety.

● In the realm of intelligent assisted driving, Lynk & Co models feature a distinctive intelligent driving system:

• The top-tier model is equipped with the G-Pilot H7 intelligent driving system, leveraging the Thor chip with 700TOPS of computing power.
• The mid-range model comes with the G-Pilot H5 system, utilizing the Orin-X chip with 508TOPS of computing power. While the H5's functionality is slightly less advanced, it can be enhanced through OTA upgrades. Kang Guowang, head of Lynk & Co's intelligent driving department, revealed that the current performance of Thor and Orin-X is comparable, and future OTA updates will expand features such as parking and detouring, achieving full NOA functionality coverage on national highways. To ensure the reliability of the intelligent assisted system, Lynk & Co adheres to the principle of "high-quality delivery," conducting thousands of hours of rigorous internal validation to avoid transferring validation pressure to users.

The vehicle comes standard with premium perception hardware, including lidar, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 11 cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. Coupled with the G-Pilot H7 or H5 system, it can perform city NOA and highway NOA functions without the need for high-precision maps, ensuring all-around driving safety.

The Lynk & Co 900 measures 5240×1999×1810mm, boasts a wheelbase of 3160mm, and offers an interior area of 6.16㎡, achieving a space efficiency of 88.2%. It provides ample "legroom for individuals up to 1.9 meters tall."

The second-row seats support 180-degree rotation, creating a "living room mode," while the third-row seats offer a width of 1.1 meters per seat, ensuring adult comfort. The unique "sky-ground" tailgate design (lifting + folding down), inspired by 80 user surveys, facilitates scenarios such as camping and fishing. The lower part can support a weight of 300kg (when stationary), addressing the issue of luggage rolling off in traditional SUVs.

The trunk boasts a capacity of 300 liters, including a hidden storage space of 20 liters, and 42 storage compartments enhance practicality. In terms of seat configuration, all seats are standardly equipped with heating and massage functions.

The second-row doors can open at a 90-degree angle, paired with a 550mm long sliding rail design, significantly facilitating the installation and use of child seats; the third-row seats support 125mm of fore-and-aft movement and 155-degree reclining adjustment, striking a balance between riding comfort and ease of entry/exit.

The Lynk & Co 900 comes standard with a fragrance system, a small table, and heated/massage seats across all trim levels, alleviating the stress of optional configurations.

The innovative power discharge function (one each in the front compartment, trunk, and external outlet) supports outdoor activities such as boiling water and using hair dryers, catering to family camping scenarios. For instance, the trunk's power discharge can be used to dry hair after bathing children, solving the issue of "sand entering the car," demonstrating a profound understanding of families with two children.

Equipped with a 30-inch 6K 32:10 central control screen (powered by the Qualcomm 8295 chip) and a 12.66-inch AR head-up display, it integrates the LYNK Flyme Auto infotainment system, supporting front and rear dual-screen interaction and four-zone audio partitioning (allowing each person to independently view content).

The in-car infotainment system's style is optimized for large SUV scenarios, featuring a new foldable screen function to avoid glare and enhance the experience for second and third-row passengers. The Lynk & Co 900's ultra-wide screen supports split-screen operation, catering to the needs of both drivers and passengers, providing an immersive interaction experience.

Technological Innovation:

SPA Evo Architecture: The Luxurious Genes of Dynamic Performance

The Lynk & Co 900 is built on the SPA Evo architecture (an upgrade from Volvo SPA), with billions invested in R&D to optimize space and handling. Compared to the traditional SPA, the Evo architecture widens the front track and lengthens the wheelbase (3050-3300mm), achieving third-row comfort through a flat floor design and long sliding rails while preserving a luxurious driving experience.

The moose test result reaches 83.2km/h, demonstrating exceptional handling stability. The architecture supports rear-wheel steering (±10 degrees, 20 degrees total steering angle), dual-motor torque distribution, and dual-chamber air suspension (switchable to single-chamber mode), achieving a balance between high-speed stability and low-speed flexibility.

For example, 10-degree rear-wheel steering enables a 5-meter U-turn and crab mode, facilitating urban parking and narrow scenarios.

In terms of safety, SPA Evo enhances structural rigidity through integrated stamping and component reduction. The double hundred consecutive collision test validates its impact resistance. The architecture also supports silicon carbide power electronics, improving motor efficiency and reducing energy consumption, providing a technical foundation for the EM-P plug-in hybrid system.

The Lynk & Co 900 offers three EM-P plug-in hybrid powertrains: 1.5T (base trim), 2.0T Ultra, and the Explorer Edition (top trim). The top trim is equipped with a 650kW (872hp) power system, comprising a 2.0T engine, a single front motor, and dual rear motors (each 160kW), achieving 0-100km/h acceleration in less than 5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 200km/h.

The dual-chamber air suspension and CDC continuous damping control adjust in milliseconds based on road conditions, combined with rear-wheel steering and dual-motor torque distribution, ensuring "handling stability."

Mu Jun emphasized that the Lynk & Co 900 is optimized for family scenarios, featuring anti-motion sickness design for second and third-row passengers, while retaining the sporty fun of solo driving. The waltz-style turn and crab mode protect tires through torque monitoring, suitable for extreme parking scenarios, balancing practicality and durability.

The Qianli Haohan intelligent driving system leverages Geely Group's platform-based development, unifying algorithms and update mechanisms to ensure consistent cross-brand experiences.

G-Pilot H7/H5 supports city NOA, highway NOA, and automatic parking, with the top-tier Thor chip providing smoother park-to-park logic.

Kang Guowang stated that the group's intelligent driving team adapts different models through a unified architecture, addressing the differences between large vehicle parking (e.g., three-point parking) and small vehicle flexibility. OTA upgrades will continuously enrich functions, such as intelligent parking and detour optimization, with broader scenario coverage expected by the end of 2025.

Summary

The Lynk & Co 900, centered around the SPA Evo architecture, EM-P plug-in hybrid power, and Qianli Haohan intelligent driving system, integrates safety, spaciousness, performance, and intelligence, precisely targeting the needs of families with two children. Standard configurations across all trim levels include lidar, heated/massage seats, and the "sky-ground" tailgate, alleviating the stress of optional configurations; the 30-inch 6K screen and Flyme Auto infotainment system create an immersive experience; double hundred consecutive collision and rear-wheel steering technologies demonstrate safety and handling advantages. The achievement of over 10,000 pre-orders within the first hour and over 40,000 reservations reflects market recognition, with the goal of "securing the top five and striving for the top three" showcasing its ambition.
