Lynk & Co Lynk & Co 900 -Hybrid PHEV

Configuration: In its class, features like split tailgates, soft-closing doors, second-row swivel seats, third-row seat massage, power adjustment, and seat ventilation, along with six equal-priority seats, make it basically unbeatable.

Performance: Power is instantly responsive. A three-ton vehicle can achieve 4-second acceleration, and even at 120 km/h on the highway with a 1.5-ton load, there's still endless power when accelerating further. Considering energy consumption and traffic regulations, driving at the speed limit is the safe mode.

Exterior: Except for the front face being slightly underwhelming, it basically matches the design for this price range. The side profile resembles a Land Rover. I chose the silver color with a floating roof, which looks elegant and stylish.

Purchasing Experience: I started looking at and test-driving the Lynk & Co 09. Before the 900 was launched, I was considering it. If the pricing was too high, I would have chosen the 09. Its handling is worth its price; the only downside is the disappointing space. The launch of the 900 had a big impact on its price, and after the price reduction, its value for money instantly became high. However, the official launch price of the 900, after discounts, met expectations. I chose comfort over handling—after all, you can't have both fish and bear's paw.

One more thing to add: The reason for choosing Lynk & Co mainly stems from traditional automakers, as technology requires accumulation—those who understand will understand. Moreover, after acquiring Volvo, it has the SPA platform support. I'm not worshipping foreign brands, but being able to absorb and improve advanced technology to provide better products for Chinese consumers, enjoying the same quality and higher configuration at half the price of imported cars—why not? Also, Volvo's advantages are continued in Lynk & Co. Since I have allergic rhinitis, I have higher requirements for in-car odor and environmental protection. Even with a new car, the interior odor is not strong, which is one of the things I really like. Regarding the handling of the 900, from a user's perspective, those interested can discuss it with me later.

【Car Buying Experience】
Let me share my car buying experience. Actually, I have been关注大六座SUV (large six-seat SUVs) for over a year. Basically, every new six-seat model on the market would catch my special attention and I would go for a test drive. To be honest, I haven't been particularly satisfied. I have a standard two-child family, and my parents currently live with us. So a six-seat vehicle for travel has become an absolute necessity. I even considered compromising with an MPV and looked at several models, but always felt some regrets. Until I first saw a video of the 900 online, I was amazed. When the pre-sale started and I saw the actual car, I truly felt its charm. The first time I went to the store, I took my family to see the car. The most satisfying part is the large six-seat space. For a six-seat car, you can tell its level by looking at the third row. Unexpectedly, the third row space is very ample. My mother sat in the third row, reclined the seat, turned on the massage, and said to me: "I'll sit in the third row from now on, it's so comfortable!" My son then said: "I'll sit in the front passenger seat to play games, mom and sister can sit in the second row, one watching cartoons and the other watching movies, no one disturbs anyone. It's awesome!" At that moment, I had the answer to what "seat equality" means. This is the car I've been waiting for. After seeing the sky and earth doors (probably referring to a specific door design), the entertainment screens, and test driving it, I immediately made a blind reservation. Now I drive the 900 for commuting, and on weekends, I take the kids for camping and hiking. It's really enjoyable. Since I haven't been driving it for very long, I don't feel anything unacceptable for the time being. However, I can provide feedback on some minor issues to the manufacturer and fellow car owners, and share my own car usage experience for everyone's reference.

【Most Satisfied】:
1. Six-seat equality, space comparable to MPV
2. Entertainment screens are very friendly to passengers; everyone can have their own audio-visual choices
3. The power is surging; it's very responsive even when fully loaded, probably benefiting from EMP technology. Fuel consumption and electricity consumption are well controlled.
4. The chassis is very premium, and handling is very responsive. I used to drive a BMW 5 Series, and this car is definitely not inferior to it.
5. The Harman Kardon panoramic sound Dolby audio is simply amazing! One word:震撼人心 (shocking/inspiring)!

【Least Satisfied】:
1. There is no grab handle on the second-row door frame, making it a bit inconvenient for children and the elderly to get on and off.
2. The lateral support of the driver's seat is not very good; the driver feels a bit unstable when cornering.
3. The windshield wipers are a bit short and could be longer.
4. On humid days in the south, when the air conditioner is turned on to cool, the outside of the front windshield will fog up, affecting visibility. You have to adjust the air direction and switch to the mode that blows on people to get some improvement, which is very inconvenient.
5. There are few in-car apps; hope the manufacturer can integrate more mainstream apps in the future.
6. There are few peripheral products for the 900, with not much to choose from, such as second-row tables, special car-mounted microphones, and even fragrances, which are not available in the mall.
7. The seat ventilation is quite noisy; it's better to adjust the wind speed to the lowest setting.

That's all. Welcome fellow car owners to comment and exchange car usage experiences. No hype, no bashing, just tell it as it is.

I made a small deposit in March, a large deposit in April, and picked up the car on May 20th. Now, it has been more than ten days since I picked up the car, and I have driven 1000 kilometers. Now I want to share my feelings with everyone, hoping to give some reference to friends who are still in the period of hesitation in choosing a car. After all, I also went through that time.

At the beginning, in addition to the Lynk & Co 900, I also compared and referred to the AITO M8, Denza N9, and XPeng X9. After several rounds of test drives, screening and comparisons, I finally chose the Lynk & Co 900 for the following reasons:

First, the sense of security of the Lynk & Co 900 is unparalleled. It not only incorporates Volvo's genes, but also the safety collision test that far exceeds the national standard deeply moved me. I believe that safety is the first very important reference factor when we consider a vehicle.

Second, the chassis of the Lynk & Co 900 is very solid. From my horizontal comparison during the test drive, compared with other reference models, the chassis of the Lynk & Co 900 has the most premium feel and is very well-tuned. It doesn't feel bulky like a large car when driving, and the body doesn't shake either.

Third, the hardware of this car is very well-matched, but the intelligent driving is indeed not good. The sales manager of the Lynk & Co store also said that if the focus of buying a car is on intelligent driving, it is not recommended to buy Lynk & Co. He was very honest, and this attitude of not hiding anything made me feel very at ease. I don't really care much about intelligent driving when buying a car, because it is at most an auxiliary function, not an important consideration. No matter how good the intelligent driving is, I will not consider letting it control the car all the time. As a lawyer, the most important thing is to prevent and control risks. No matter how good the intelligent driving is, it should be done in moderation.

Fourth, the Lynk & Co 900 drives very steadily, especially on the highway. It accelerates quickly, with endless power that seems never to be used up. The infotainment system is also very easy to use.

But it's not without shortcomings. For example, when the seat ventilation is turned on, there is a little noise. Other car owners have also experienced similar phenomena. I don't know if it counts as a defect. I plan to go to the store to communicate about it in the near future.

I chose the 2.0U second top configuration, with black exterior and blue interior, which is very calm and imposing. After driving for more than ten days, many friends have asked about it and looked at it. In short, I think this car is really very good.
