Gasgoo Munich- On April 27, 2026, the Lynk & Co 900 flagship large five-seater officially launched with an official guide price of 299,800 to 345,800 yuan and a limited-time trade-in price of 254,800 to 300,800 yuan. This marks a critical move by the Lynk & Co brand in the high-end large five-seater hybrid market.

In the 300,000-yuan large SUV class, five-seaters are not scarce. Yet, finding one that truly delivers "full-size dimensions, a genuine three-seat second row, and all-scenario capability" is nearly impossible. The Lynk & Co 900 large five-seater’s strategy is not simply to remove a row from a six-seater; rather, it redefines the value benchmark for large five-seater SUVs by applying the architecture, safety standards, and intelligence of the six-seater class.
Architecture & Space: From 'Bigger Car' to 'Space Done Right'
Built on the SPA Evo, a dedicated architecture for large electric hybrids, the Lynk & Co 900 large five-seater boasts a length of 5,240 mm, a wheelbase of 3,160 mm, and an interior floor area of 6.16 square meters. These dimensions surpass most competitors in the large five-seater segment and even outperform some six-seater SUVs.
But what truly deserves attention isn't the numbers themselves, but the space utilization behind them.
Those with an engineering background know that traditional SUVs converted from internal combustion engines or sharing sedan platforms are often constrained by floor structures, battery layouts, and overhang ratios, making it difficult to fully unleash the potential of the second row and trunk. The SPA Evo architecture, however, was purpose-built from the ground up for large electric hybrids. The battery pack is embedded in the middle of the chassis, avoiding intrusion into cabin longitudinal space; the rear suspension structure is optimized to extend trunk depth to 1,350 mm; and the second-row floor is completely flat with a slide travel of 170 mm.

To put it in one sentence: It’s not that "the car got bigger," but that "the space was done right."
This is also why the Lynk & Co 900 large five-seater confidently touts two hard metrics: "1,120 mm of rear legroom, the largest in its class" and a "1,215-liter trunk, the largest in its class." Beyond the data, the experience matters more: a passenger 1.8 meters tall can still cross their legs in the back row, and a mountain bike can be rolled straight into the trunk without removing the wheels.
A hidden rule in traditional large five-seater SUVs is that the middle seat in the second row is forever a "compromise seat." Short cushions, hard backrests, no heating, no support — a five-person journey means someone has to make do.
The Lynk & Co 900 large five-seater features a second-row width of 1,350 mm, with the middle seat matching the two sides in foam thickness, backrest angle, and heating functionality. The outer seats are further equipped with ventilation, 16-point pneumatic massage, and a 150-degree electric recline. This means that even on a full five-person trip, no one needs to "make do."
Furthermore, when the leg rests are raised, the second row forms a completely flat surface measuring 1.35 meters by 0.85 meters, with a height difference of no more than 5 mm. Officially dubbed the "Child’s Dream Space," this design has practical value: families with children can let their kids sleep soundly in the car during long trips or outdoor outings without parents needing to hold them or lay out a separate mattress.
In the large five-seater market, models capable of this are currently rare.
Pricing & Versatility: Flagship Democratization at the 300,000-Yuan Level
The Lynk & Co 900 large five-seater launches in three versions: the 1.5T Halo with a limited trade-in price of 254,800 yuan; the 1.5T Ultra at 280,800 yuan; and the 2.0T Ultra at 300,800 yuan.
The limited trade-in price structure includes a 5,000-yuan deposit counting as 10,000 yuan, a 20,000-yuan purchase subsidy, a 10,000-yuan insurance subsidy, and a 10,000-yuan trade-in subsidy. Additionally, users who place an order before May 31 will receive a charging pile worth 4,999 yuan, a 2,180-yuan storage set, and lifetime free NOA functionality.
In the 300,000-yuan class, this pricing strategy clearly targets upgraders from mid-size SUVs of traditional luxury brands. According to official Lynk & Co data, owners of German premium brands (BBA) account for nearly 40% of trade-in users for the Lynk & Co 900 large six-seater. With the large five-seater version further lowering the threshold, it is poised to attract more high-end users seeking "downgraded spending without downgraded experience."
In terms of functionality, the most distinctive feature of the Lynk & Co 900 large five-seater is the electric "Sky & Earth" tailgate, a first for Chinese-brand SUVs. The Sky gate opens upward without occupying rear space, making it ideal for tight parking spots; the Earth gate can support 300 kg and, when deployed, serves as an outdoor platform. Combined with 6.6 kW V2L power output, a 2-ton electric towing system, and a roof rack, it covers needs ranging from camping and fishing to towing RVs.

This is not an SUV in the traditional sense, but a mobile scenario platform. For outdoor enthusiasts or travelers, the 1,215-liter trunk capacity means fitting a full set of camping gear, bicycles, photography equipment, and family luggage all at once — no need to "declutter."
In terms of intelligence, the Lynk & Co 900 large five-seater aligns with the large six-seater: dual Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chips, front and rear dual 30-inch 6K screens, a 31-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, and LiDAR as standard. The Haohan G-ASD assisted driving system is upgraded to version 4.0, supporting features like D2D (door-to-door) navigation and offset parking, with an OTA push scheduled for the second quarter.
On the safety front, the SPA Evo architecture uses 100% hot formed steel covering the entire A, B, C, and D pillars, continuing Volvo’s patented technology of "sacrificing the wheel to protect occupants." The battery has passed NESTA six-dimensional safety certification, and the cabin uses "Three 0s" materials — 0 asphalt, 0 scrap cotton, and 0 harmful solvents — earning a maternal and infant-level health certification. In both visible and invisible areas, the large five-seater has not lowered its standards despite having fewer seats.
Conclusion: The launch of the Lynk & Co 900 large five-seater is not a simple cut of the large six-seater, but a precise response to high-end small families, outdoor players, and business travelers.
It uses six-seater-level architecture, safety, and intelligence to create a truly full-size large five-seater. In the 300,000-yuan hybrid SUV market, there are currently very few products that achieve "real human rights in the second row, a trunk that actually holds cargo, and true all-scenario capability."
As its product logic states: "It is not about solving the problem of 'having it or not' or 'having enough,' but about solving 'whether it is good or not.'"
