That's right, it's aimed squarely at the Range Rover!

A few days ago, I attended the Lynk & Co 900 appreciation event Beijing stop at the Shengboi Art Space in the capital. In terms of sheer size alone, the Lynk & Co 900 should be going head-to-head with the Range Rover. I looked up the dimensional data for both models as follows:

The 2025 Range Rover 3.0 L6 400PS Shengshi Extended 7-seat version, priced at 1.452 million yuan, has a length of 5252mm, a width of 2047mm, a height of 1870mm, and a wheelbase of 3197mm;

The Lynk & Co 900 2.0T base model has a length of 5240mm, a width of 1999mm, a height of 1810mm, and a wheelbase of 3160mm;

The two are already quite close in size, and the Lynk & Co 900 has a top speed of 240km/h while the Range Rover's top speed is 242km/h. The Lynk & Co 900 does 0-100km/h in 4 seconds, while the Range Rover does it in 5.9 seconds. The Range Rover's WLTC combined fuel consumption is 10.02L/100km. Energy consumption data for the Lynk & Co 900 has not yet been found, but the Lynk & Co 900 is equipped with a 50kWh Jiangsu Times ternary lithium battery, with a WLTC pure electric range of 220km, so its depleted-battery fuel consumption figures shouldn't be too outrageous either. So the car-buying crowd that "wants big" will have one more new toy to play with.

Given the particularly large number of people looking at cars at the event, I didn't get a chance to capture particularly clean shots, so I'll borrow a few official images to make the point.

In terms of the front-end styling, from my aesthetic judgment, it looks authoritative because it's sufficiently substantial. The Lynk & Co family characteristics on this car lean toward a steady style. The upper light cluster and the lower bumper air intake create a clear sense of layering, and the lower bumper air intake adopts a rectangular + vertical slat design. Visually, it's enough to command the massive body and gives confidence that it will drive with sufficient stability.

"Great simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" — perhaps because of the aesthetic needs of the target customer group for a vehicle of this size and class, the Lynk & Co 900's side lines and styling also adopt a simple, imposing, steady, yet still elegant design style.

The overall visual effect of the rear echoes the front. I think the Lynk & Co 900 can be defined as having "a very strong sense of design integration," and I also believe that the Lynk & Co family characteristics have evolved to an even higher level on this car.

At the event, Lynk & Co official staff also briefly explained several advantages of the Lynk & Co 900 compared with competitors, but in terms of product strength alone, most models under Lynk & Co are indeed more compelling than models at the same price level. Next, let's look at the interior.

The 30-inch 6K giant screen is quite eye-catching in the Lynk & Co 900's cabin, to the point that it even overshadows some of the cabin design features. However, cabins for vehicles at this class and positioning usually also adopt a simple, imposing, and elegant design, so this giant screen doesn't feel particularly out of place.

Also, possibly to complement this giant screen, the Lynk & Co 900's steering wheel shape strikes a balance between square and round. It's neither a traditional purely round steering wheel nor as sharply angular as a traditional double-D steering wheel, yet you can tell it's somewhat square. The function button areas on both sides also use rounded decorative frames, so the visual effect set off against the cabin's giant screen is quite harmonious.

The second row also has a foldable, stowable 30-inch 6K giant screen, so rear-seat entertainment features are bound to be quite rich as well. Compared with the projection that appeared before, I think in a relatively narrow environment like a cabin, screen display effects should be a bit better than projection effects. What do you think?

From the official images, we can see that the Lynk & Co 900 offers a 222 seating layout, and the middle-row seats retain a central aisle. This design makes it convenient for rear passengers to get in and out, and also improves the ride experience for the two rear passengers.

Online information shows that the Lynk & Co 900's luggage compartment volume is 300L, and the third-row seat backs can be folded to release even more loading space at the rear of the cabin. The luggage compartment volume data for the Range Rover Shengshi Extended 7-seat version is 212-2050L. Judging from the luggage compartment data, considerable effort has gone into the Lynk & Co 900's cabin space design, though for the target customer group, there may not be many opportunities for full occupancy/full loading.

As for vehicle features and configurations, at the level of the Lynk & Co 900, and being a domestic car, "rich to the point of excess" is the inevitable result. Resting, working, doing makeup — it can be considered a mobile palace.

As for the vehicle chassis and suspension, or let's say dynamic performance, I'm not worried. After all, all the models Lynk & Co has created since its founding have had good dynamic performance, and it can even be described as getting better and better. Car enthusiasts who have experienced multiple Lynk & Co models should have no objection to this, right?

As for the Lynk & Co 900's safety protection, I'm equally unworried. You must believe that since acquiring Volvo, all models built by Geely's automotive brands can be trusted in terms of vehicle protection architecture. For experienced drivers, whether a body is solid enough can probably be felt after one or two dynamic test drives, and moreover, in recent years, the real-world results of multiple Lynk & Co models in traffic accidents have also proven this point.

Finally, there's the pricing that the public cares about. Judging from the fact that the Lynk & Co 900's dimensions all slightly exceed the AITO M9, the Lynk & Co 900's pricing should overlap somewhat with the AITO M9, estimated at around 500,000. If you have a car-buying budget of 500,000, once the Lynk & Co 900 goes on sale, you might as well do a comparison test drive. The Lynk & Co 900 should become a strong rival to the AITO M9. Let's wait and see, and at the same time let us all wish Chinese automobiles better and better!
