The Lynk & Co 900 (Chinese: 领克900; pinyin: Lǐng kè 900) is a plug-in hybrid three-row six-seater full-size luxury crossover SUV marketed by Lynk & Co since 2025. It is the brand's largest vehicle, and is the first production vehicle to use an Nvidia Thor SoC.[1][2]
Overview
[edit]The Lynk & Co 900 was unveiled on 3 January 2025, and launched on 12 March 2025, with deliveries beginning later that month.[3] Built on the SPA Evo architecture, an updated version of Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture platform, the vehicle is positioned as a six-seater flagship SUV. It features the "urban opposite aesthetic" design language from the brand.
The front design integrates a headlight group and grille in parallel lines, maintaining Lynk & Co's design language. Its lighting system utilises 10,192 LED lamp units with customizable light scenes that allows for welcoming, driving, and parking modes, along with additional features like customizable messages and animations.[4][5] The SUV has a shorter front overhang of 20 degrees for better off-road approach angle. It has a drag coefficient of 0.291 Cd.[6]
In the interior, the Lynk & Co 900 is equipped with a 30-inch 6K 32:10 aspect ratio touchscreen that spans from the center to the passenger side of the dashboard, which is used for infotainment, controls, passenger entertainment, supports split-screen functionality, and is powered by dual Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chips. Other features include a 12.66-inch digital instrument panel supplemented by a 92-inch AR head-up display, and a 30-inch folding ceiling-mounted rear entertainment screen. It has a 31-speaker Harmon Kardon sound system which features two speakers built into each headrest of the first and second row seats.[7] It is also equipped with ambient lighting that provides 256 RGB gradient effects that synchronize with music rhythms.[4][5][6][8][9]
The interior materials used are a combination of metallic pearlescent fabrics, suede, and Nappa leather, with details such as translucent vacuum-plated trims creating a crystal-like texture. Space optimization allows for a 6.16 m2 (66.3 sq ft) interior with adjustable seating for all rows, and the second-row seats can rotate 180 degrees to face backwards.[2] The second row has access to folding tables built into the front seatbacks and full-length doors capable of opening to nearly 90 degrees. Each of the two sunroofs has a power sunshade, and the rear windows all have manual sunshades.[7] The trunk offers up to 300 L (11 cu ft) of space with the third row in use.[4][8]
The 900 is equipped with dual-chamber air suspension with continuous damping control. The air suspension is capable of dynamically switching to a single-chamber mode to reduce body roll.[8]
The 900 is the first production vehicle to feature the Nvidia Drive Thor SoC, which is capable of 1000 TOPS of computational power. It powers the vehicle's Haohan driver assistance system, which includes a supervised autonomous driving system capable of operating on urban streets without the assistance of high-resolution map data. It is also able to navigate around traffic congestion on highways.[2]
Powertrain
[edit]The 900 comes in three EM-p plug-in hybrid all-wheel drive powertrain options using Silicon Carbide power electronics.[1]
The 530 kW (711 hp; 721 PS) entry model uses a 143 kW (192 hp; 194 PS) 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder petrol engine paired with a 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) motor mounted between the engine and transmission, along with a 230 kW (308 hp; 313 PS) motor independently driving the rear wheels. Power is supplied by a 43.3 kWh NMC battery, providing an electric range of 185 km (115 mi) on the CLTC cycle.[1][2][6]
The 540 kW (724 hp; 734 PS) middle-tier powertrain uses a 187 kW (251 hp; 254 PS) 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four cylinder petrol engine paired with a 123 kW (165 hp; 167 PS) motor mounted to the transmission, along with the same 230 kW (308 hp; 313 PS) motor driving the rear wheels. Power is supplied by a 52.4 kWh pack using CATL's Freevoy LFP-Sodium-ion hybrid chemistry technology, providing an electric range of 280 km (174 mi).[1][2][6] The battery is capable of a 4C charge rate when DC fast charging, allowing for a 20-80% charge time of 17 minutes.
The Freevoy battery technology allows for the use of both traditional LFP cells and sodium-ion cells to combine each chemistry's advantages. The use sodium-ion cells results in improved cold weather performance compared to conventional LFP-only packs, increasing cold temperature range by 5% and allowing the pack to discharge at −40 °C (−40 °F), charge at −30 °C (−22 °F), and operate normally at −20 °C (−4 °F).[3][10]
The 630 kW (845 hp; 857 PS) top powertrain uses the same engine, front motor, and battery but replaces the single rear motor with two 160 kW (215 hp; 218 PS) motors. It has a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time under 5 seconds and a top speed over 200 km/h (124 mph).[1][2][6]
