- Lynk & Co 900- A Luxury Plug-In Hybrid with 845 HP which outperforms many luxury SUVs.
- Starts at $42,500, undercutting Range Rover and BMW.
- Premium interior with Volvo-inspired design.
The Lynk & Co 900 is making waves as a high-performance plug-in hybrid SUV that blends electric efficiency with gas-powered reliability. With up to 845 horsepower and a starting price of $42,500, it challenges luxury rivals like the Range Rover. We drove this Geely-owned flagship in China to see if it lives up to the hype.
Performance: A Beast with Hybrid Efficiency
The Lynk & Co 900 packs a 1.5L or 2.0L turbo engine paired with three electric motors and a 52.4 kWh battery. The result? A staggering 845 horsepower. Unlike extended-range EVs, this plug-in hybrid delivers instant torque and long-distance capability.
Acceleration is smooth yet aggressive, putting it in league with high-end performance SUVs. The electric motors handle low-speed driving, while the gas engine kicks in seamlessly for highway speeds.
Luxury Interior: Competing with Range Rover
Step inside, and the 900 feels premium. Soft-touch materials, spacious seating, and a minimalist dashboard design echo Volvo’s influence (Geely owns both brands). The infotainment system is intuitive, with a large touchscreen and smartphone integration.
Sound insulation is excellent, making highway drives whisper-quiet. Heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and premium audio options elevate the experience.
Price: A Bargain for Its Class
The base Lynk & Co 900 starts at $42,500, undercutting rivals like the Range Rover Sport PHEV ($80,000+). Even the top trim stays below $60,000. For comparison, a Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid tops out near this price but lacks the 900’s power and luxury.
Driving Experience: Smooth and Responsive
Handling is surprisingly agile for a large SUV. The air suspension absorbs bumps effortlessly, while precise steering makes city driving easy. In electric-only mode, the 900 offers around 50 miles of range, ideal for daily commutes.

If you want a luxury plug-in hybrid SUV without the European price tag, the 900 is a strong contender. It matches Range Rover’s comfort while offering better performance and value. The main drawback? Availability outside China remains uncertain.
The Lynk & Co 900 proves China’s auto industry can compete globally. If it reaches the U.S., it could disrupt the luxury SUV market.
