Lynk & Co 09: a large Chinese SUV with hybrid transmission
Lynk & Co 09 — a large five or six-seater premium class SUV, which the Lynk & Co brand, created during the collaboration between Geely and Volvo, started offering around 2021. In this article, we review what the buyer gets and what to know, as it is not officially sold in Lithuania.
09 in brief
09 — a large SUV with generous dimensions, a luxurious interior, and a striking, modern design. It's the flagship among Lynk & Co models, designed for families needing plenty of space and comfort.
Lynk & Co is a brand created through the collaboration of Geely and Volvo, aimed at a younger, tech-savvy buyer. The model is mostly sold in China, so you'll rarely encounter it in Lithuania.
What sets it apart
The interior is spacious, with plenty of digital screens, high-quality materials, and roomy second-row seats. The model offers numerous driver-assistance systems and luxury features.
A key feature is the hybrid transmission. Some versions are plug-in hybrids, so short distances can be covered on electric power, while longer journeys can be tackled as a conventional hybrid.
Engines and gearboxes
Most commonly used is a turbocharged petrol engine, paired with electric motors. There's also a plug-in hybrid version, with exact details depending on the year and market, so check the specific version's specs before buying.
The gearbox is automatic. Due to its significant weight and hybrid system, it's crucial that the high-voltage battery is in good condition and the software is up to date.
What to check when buying a 09
Firstly, check the import documents and whether the car meets European standards. Ensure there is a service history and that you can service the car in Lithuania, as the official service might not be available.
In the case of a hybrid, ask about the condition of the high-voltage battery, the charging cable, and software updates. Check the screens, sensors, and the operation of the assist systems.
