LYNK&CO 900: IT'S OFFICIAL, CHINA MAKES THE BEST FAMILY SUVS

EV Channels Review

The Lynk&Co 900 positions itself as a flagship family SUV, aiming to compete with established Chinese giants. The reviewer highlights its striking Range Rover-inspired styling and a distinctive front LED panel. Inside, the "classic Geely approach" of a massive 30-inch central display, coupled with an impressive rear entertainment screen and a premium Harmon Kardon audio system, creates an immersive experience. The second row offers luxurious amenities like airline-style vents, heated/ventilated/massaging seats with leg rests, and fast charging. However, the reviewer notes the interior, while youthful, lacks true luxury materials, with some hard plastics present. A standout feature is the spinning second-row seats, though its practicality is questioned due to numerous conditions required for operation. The plug-in hybrid powertrain is praised for its strong performance, especially the tri-motor version, and a commendable pure electric range of up to 220 km. While the adjustable air suspension provides comfort, body roll is noticeable. The driver assistance systems, particularly the Nvidia Thor chip-equipped variants, are deemed the most confidence-inspiring from a Geely brand yet, despite a minor persistent issue with lane centering. The review is tempered by significant software-related glitches experienced with the third-row seats, rear screen connectivity, and second-row seat functionality during testing, though these are attributed to early production models and potentially fixable via OTA updates. Despite these issues, the reviewer believes the 900 has flagship potential, offering appealing styling, features, and driving dynamics.
