This flagship model continues the brand’s commitment to its Urban Opposites design philosophy, while delivering comprehensive upgrades in performance and technology to redefine smart mobility.

SPA Evo: The Foundation of Innovation

The SPA Evo architecture, developed exclusively for large luxury plug-in hybrid vehicles, forms the technical backbone of the Lynk & Co 900. Building on the globally renowned SPA platform, SPA Evo integrates billions of dollars in research and development, aiming to set new benchmarks for high-end hybrid vehicles with a focus on models exceeding five meters in length and offering a wheelbase of over three meters.

Cutting-Edge Safety Features

The SPA Evo architecture incorporates groundbreaking safety enhancements:

•Advanced Crash Energy Management: The platform inherits SPA’s energy absorption technologies, such as the “life-saving wheel-off” system and W-fold front longitudinal beams, providing superior protection in crashes.

•Unmatched Battery Safety: The platform features a five-horizontal-six-vertical structural design that ensures the battery is protected like a “vault,” offering unparalleled security.

•Reinforced Side Impact Protection: For the first time in the industry, Lynk & Co uses integrated hot-formed dual door rings, delivering exceptional stability and durability in side impacts.

Intelligent Driving Systems

The SPA Evo architecture integrates advanced intelligent driving capabilities:

•Upgraded AEB System: The automatic emergency braking system has been enhanced to stop vehicles traveling at speeds up to 130 km/h, surpassing industry standards and addressing most high-speed scenarios.

•AI-Powered Digital Architecture: The introduction of the LKEEA central integrated digital architecture supports cloud integration, exceptional processing power, and enhanced privacy protection, enabling a smarter and safer driving experience.

Redefining Design and Performance

The Lynk & Co 900 embodies the brand’s Urban Opposites design philosophy, showcasing the evolution of its “The Next Day”aesthetic. The design transitions from “dawn” to “sunrise,” incorporating solar imagery into both the exterior and interior for a harmonious blend of form and function. Measuring 5,240 mm in length, 1,999 mm in width, and 1,810 mm in height, the vehicle draws inspiration from luxury yachts, seamlessly combining dynamic lines, power, and elegance. This design strikes a balance between the aesthetic appeal of SUVs and the functional versatility of MPVs.

From the groundbreaking Lynk & Co 01 to the flagship Lynk & Co 900, the brand has consistently innovated to meet the evolving needs of modern consumers. With this new model, Lynk & Co is poised to drive Geely’s strategic push into the high-end luxury NEV market, paving the way for increased sales and enhanced profitability for Zeekr Technology Group.
