Lynk & Co 900 Fuses First-Class Luxury and Raw Horsepower

The whole image and idea of peak luxury travel morphs into something entirely different when an auto company achieves the marriage of airplane cabin-like comforts and the practicality of a top-tier SUV. That was one of the impressions shared by celebrity actress Ruffa Gutierrez and Doctor Vicky Belo during the Philippine launch of the new Lynk & Co 900, held on the afternoon of November 6, at Nena's Sanctuary, Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club.

Hosted by KC Montero, the event introduced what is arguably the most ambitious offering yet from Lynk & Co in the local market. Both Gutierrez and Belo talked about the vehicle's generous cabin space and exceptional comfort, likening its passenger accommodations to the first-class appointments of an aircraft. It is an apt comparison for a vehicle designed to make even long journeys feel less like travel and more like an indulgence.

The limo-like SUV from the Chinese-Swedish auto player

Measuring 5,240 mm long and 1,999 mm wide, the 900 is a full-size, three-row SUV with six individual seats. But its appeal goes beyond sheer dimensions. The second-row seats can rotate 180 degrees for face-to-face conversations when parked, while passengers in all three rows enjoy massage functions. The first and second rows receive 16-point massage systems, with heating and ventilation for added comfort. Nappa leather upholstery, a suede headliner, tri-zone climate control, and a Smart Fragrance System further establish the cabin's premium character.

Then there is the technology. A massive 30-inch 6K entertainment screen, a 31-speaker Harman Kardon Performance audio system with Dolby Atmos, and a built-in nine-liter refrigerator capable of cooling refreshments to minus 6 degrees Celsius or warming them to 50 degrees make the 900 feel more like a private lounge than a conventional family SUV.

There is a bigger story behind the 900 than its impressive specifications. This is also the first Philippine product launch of Lynk & Co. since its local operations were integrated into Geely Motor Philippines (GMP), part of Geely's broader One Geely strategy to consolidate resources, dealer operations, after-sales support, and product development capabilities.

Geely's story began in 1986, when founder Eric Li (Li Shufu) established a business in Taizhou, Zhejiang, initially manufacturing refrigerator components. It entered the automotive industry in 1997, becoming China's first privately owned car manufacturer. Today, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group is a global automotive powerhouse whose portfolio includes Geely Auto, Volvo Cars, Lotus, Polestar, Zeekr, and Lynk & Co., among other brands. Its group of automotive brands sold more than 4 million vehicles worldwide in 2025, including over 2.3 million new energy vehicles.

Its international expansion was accelerated by strategic acquisitions. In 2010, Geely acquired Volvo Cars from Ford, gaining access to the Swedish marque's longstanding engineering and safety expertise while allowing it to retain its distinct identity. In 2017, Geely acquired a controlling stake in British sports car manufacturer Lotus, adding another performance-oriented name to its portfolio.

Lynk & Co, meanwhile, was established in 2016 as a collaboration between Geely Auto and Volvo Cars. Conceived as a globally oriented premium brand, it draws on Geely's manufacturing scale and technological investments, alongside Volvo's reputation for safety, engineering, and Scandinavian design. Together with its other automotive holdings, these strategic relationships have given Geely access to a broader reservoir of engineering expertise, design philosophies, and global manufacturing experience.

This accumulated capability is particularly relevant to the 900. Rather than simply positioning itself as another Chinese luxury SUV, it arrives with a combination of performance, electrification, passenger comfort, and technology that reflects the increasingly competitive ambitions of China's automotive industry.

Underneath its imposing exterior, the 900 uses Geely's EM-P plug-in hybrid architecture, combining a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with front and rear electric motors, a three-speed hybrid transmission, and electric all-wheel drive.

The resulting system produces a remarkable 718 PS (708 hp) and 1,038 Nm of torque, enough to propel this substantial six-seater from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. Its 50-kWh ternary lithium battery provides an electric-only driving range of up to 170 kilometers and a combined driving range of up to 1,000 kilometers.

This is an important proposition for buyers who want the benefits of electric mobility without committing entirely to a battery-electric vehicle. The 900 can operate as an EV for everyday journeys while retaining its gasoline engine for longer trips. It also supports DC fast charging at up to 120 kW, replenishing the battery from 20 to 80 percent in approximately 17 minutes.

Ride comfort is further enhanced by its Magic Carpet Adaptive Suspension, which combines dual-chamber air suspension with continuous damping control. The system adjusts to road conditions and can lower the vehicle by 40 mm when parked, making entry and exit more convenient.

Safety and driver assistance are equally comprehensive. A LiDAR-equipped system, the NVIDIA Orin-X computing platform, and 29 sensors support 23 driver-assistance functions, including adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and blind-spot monitoring. A 540-degree camera system, complete with a transparent chassis view, also helps when maneuvering in tight spaces.

The Lynk & Co 900 is offered locally in a single EM-P Ultra variant priced at P4.28 million Buyers can choose from four exterior colors: Dawn White, Solar Silver, Morning Glow Blue, and Midnight Black, with Sunset Orange, Starlight Blue, and Sunlight Beige interior options.

To mark its Philippine introduction, Geely Motor Philippines is offering its “One-of-a-Kind” launch promotion from November 6 to December 31, 2026. Customers reserving the 900 with a P50,000 reservation fee can receive up to P390,000 worth of benefits, consisting of a P230,000 cash discount, P100,000 worth of genuine powered running boards, and a P60,000 charging and accessories package.

GMP is also strengthening the ownership proposition with a five-year or 150,000-kilometer vehicle warranty, an eight-year unlimited-mileage high-voltage battery warranty, two years or 40,000 kilometers of free periodic maintenance, and two years of roadside assistance.

The Lynk & Co 900 joins the 02 electric vehicle and 08 EM-P plug-in hybrid in the Philippine lineup. More importantly, its introduction signals how the brand intends to position itself under Geely's strengthened local operations.

The challenge for Lynk & Co is no longer simply convincing Filipino buyers that Chinese manufacturers can build technologically advanced vehicles. That argument is increasingly becoming easier to make. The bigger challenge is establishing long-term confidence in the brand, its after-sales support, and its ability to deliver a genuinely premium ownership experience.
