On October 23, Lynk & Co launched the 2026 Lynk & Co 09 four-wheel-drive Explorer Edition. Positioned as a fuel-powered sporty luxury large five-seat SUV, the new model builds on the SPA native luxury architecture. While inheriting Volvo's safety DNA and traditional mechanical luxury, it further advances the luxury experience in dimensions such as the central control screen, front and rear seat ventilation/heating/massage, and flexible spatial layout. It is the first in the industry to bring new-energy comfortable intelligent experience into a fuel vehicle, making it a unique presence among mid-to-large fuel SUVs under 300,000 yuan.

The 2026 Lynk & Co 09 four-wheel-drive Explorer Edition adds Midnight Purple and Mountain Wild Green exterior colors and 20-inch Guanghui wheels, adopts a five-seat spatial layout, and offers two trim levels, Ultra and Max. The Ultra trim precisely caters to users pursuing ultimate handling and mechanical luxury, satisfying their top-tier needs for large space, high loading capacity, long-distance self-driving and outdoor off-roading; the Max trim focuses on satisfying B-segment SUV upgraders, providing a fully equipped experience with more space, richer features and stronger performance. The Ultra trim's launch guide price is 248,800 yuan, with a limited-time exclusive price of 208,800 yuan; the Max trim's launch guide price is 238,800 yuan, with a limited-time exclusive price of 198,800 yuan.

Currently, Lynk & Co's official mall has officially opened the ordering channel. From now until November 30 (inclusive), completing an order and taking delivery entitles customers to a 40,000 yuan purchase subsidy, including a 2,000 yuan deposit offsetting 7,000 yuan in purchase subsidy, a 15,000 yuan limited-time purchase tax subsidy, a 15,000 yuan super trade-in subsidy (which can be stacked with a 15,000 yuan national scrappage subsidy), and a 5,000 yuan limited-time insurance subsidy. A financial gift of "150,000 yuan over 5 years, 3 years interest-free" is also offered. The Max trim requires only a 48,800 yuan down payment, and the Ultra trim only 58,800 yuan, with daily payments as low as 83 yuan in the first three years, saving up to 10,350 yuan in interest. The "table-flipping price-breaking" purchase benefits are fully maximized, lowering the threshold for mid-to-large luxury SUVs and making car buying stress-free. Comfort reaches the "top" in one step, with the executive second-row luxury comprehensively advanced

The 2026 Lynk & Co 09 advances and upgrades around the comfortable experience of the large five-seat space, maximizing front and rear comfort features and optimizing the flexibility of the spatial layout to create a leapfrog luxury private executive second row. The new car features an ultra-wide second-row sofa (1,366 mm) and the largest cushion depth in its class (540 mm), providing ergonomic leg support, unlike same-class joint-venture cars that choose to sacrifice cushion depth to expand legroom; the second row's maximum legroom reaches 1,130 mm, allowing three adults to stretch out freely even when fully seated.

Ample space is the foundation, and luxurious features are taken to the top in one step. The second row adds a multi-function center armrest that instantly turns into a business four-seat executive cabin when folded down; second-row small tables serve as reading desks and mobile dining bars for long-distance self-driving, and as mobile workstations for business travel. The entire vehicle is covered in Nappa leather, and three-level heating, ventilation and 8-point back massage advance from being exclusive to the front row to being shared by four seats, bringing equal relaxation to the second row. Together with double-layer sound-insulating privacy glass and sunshades, it effectively blocks sun and protects privacy; the interior also features 14-speaker Bose custom audio, an Ocean Mystery fragrance system, four-zone climate control and many other high-end configurations, fully maximizing the sense of private prestige. What you see, touch, hear and enjoy reaches the top in one step under 300,000 yuan, fully demonstrating luxury. At the same time, the front passenger seat adds a 280 mm integrated 4-way electric leg rest, which can be opened with one button as a queen's exclusive, with a comfortable reclining posture comparable to an airline first class cabin. The spatial flexibility of the 2026 Lynk & Co 09 is equally outstanding. The front seatback folded down combines with the second row to form a "two-person sofa bed," full of relaxation, whether for a lunch break on a workday or lying outdoors binge-watching, it is especially pleasant. When the second-row seats are upright, the trunk volume reaches 691 L, easily accommodating the whole family's travel gear; when folded down, the trunk can expand to 1,522 L, and with a mattress laid out it becomes the largest "two-meter luxury king-size bed room" in its class. Paired with a panoramic sunroof, self-driving trips in the mountains and wilderness allow you to fully enjoy freedom and romance. Handling reaches the "top" in one step, with the class-unique full-time four-wheel drive conquering all terrains

Top-tier ride comfort is not only about a cabin experience comparable to new energy vehicles, but also about the ultimate handling brought by mechanical luxury. The 2026 Lynk & Co 09 originates from Volvo's SPA architecture and leads its class in luxury chassis, golden powertrain and full-time four-wheel-drive capability, maximizing the driving pleasure of traditional mechanical luxury and truly making life and distant places within reach.

Unlike same-class joint-venture cars that generally use MacPherson suspension, the 2026 Lynk & Co 09 still adopts the more costly front double-wishbone + rear integrated multi-link independent suspension, with aluminum components accounting for 48% of the chassis suspension, combined with the patented design of composite leaf springs, making overall handling more precise and vibration filtration stronger. In terms of power, it is equipped with the golden powertrain of a Drive-E 2.0TD turbocharged engine + Aisin 8AT, with a maximum output power of 187 kW and peak torque of 350 N·m, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in the 8-second range. Combined with a 71 L extra-large fuel tank, it provides lasting power support for long-distance travel, allowing users to fully enjoy a free and unrestricted adventure journey. Unlike the same class, which generally uses part-time four-wheel drive systems, the 2026 Lynk & Co 09 is the only model in its class with standard FYRA full-time four-wheel drive. The BorgWarner Haldex sixth-generation torque manager increases torque capacity by 20% to 1,250 N·m, and torque control precision and response speed are also greatly enhanced, easily conquering a 70% slope. It supports four dynamic driving modes: Comfort, Eco, Sport and Individual, and also offers four customized intelligent off-road modes: Snow, Sand, Rock and Mud, giving the vehicle powerful control over all-scenario road conditions and allowing it to safely pass through various complex terrains. Intelligence reaches the "top" in one step, with smart support making driving more comfortable and enjoyable

The smart cockpit of the 2026 Lynk & Co 09 also overturns the stereotype that "fuel vehicles lag in intelligence," with a cockpit experience comparable to new energy vehicles. The central control screen is upgraded from 12 inches to 15.4 inches, and together with a 12.3-inch full-LCD digital instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch full-color W-HUD head-up display system, multi-screen linkage brings a smooth digital cockpit experience.

It comes standard with the LYNK OS N smart cockpit system, equipped with the 8155 chip and using 5G networks, offering smooth interaction and swift response. Everything visible on the full page can be controlled by voice, and it supports intelligent voice interaction in four sound zones in the vehicle. Through the self-developed AI large model deeply integrated with DeepSeek capabilities, it provides an intelligent voice assistant service that is smart enough, companionable and first-class in logical reasoning. Built-in rich apps such as QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, Kugou Music and Amap continuously renew the driving experience through OTA iterative upgrades. Lynk & Co 09 provides an L2-level safety-assisted driving system, equipped with 22 high-performance perception hardware to perceive real-time road conditions around the vehicle in multiple directions. It features more than 20 safety-assisted driving functions, including AEB active emergency braking assist (with pedestrian recognition), ALCA lever lane-change assist, APA automatic parking assist, TAA large-vehicle active offset avoidance and EMA emergency steering avoidance assist, adding safety and convenience to travel. Protection reaches the "top" in one step, with all-domain safety forging a mobile fortress

Safety is Lynk & Co's DNA and also the top-level luxury of Lynk & Co 09. As "the architecture with the highest global safety standards," the SPA native luxury architecture guarantees the vehicle's hardcore safety strength from the source.

The Lynk & Co 09 is built based on global five-star safety standards and has a cage body with the highest proportion of hot-formed steel in its class, exceeding 35%. The front passenger seat is equipped with a specially made fox-head airbag, and a 2,550 mm ultra-long pressure-holding side curtain airbag covers from the A-pillar to the D-pillar. The back of the second-row seats uses puncture-resistant high-strength steel plates, truly achieving "every seat is a safety C-position." At the same time, it also adopts a three-"0" healthy cockpit with "0 mixed cotton, 0 asphalt, 0 harmful solvents," safeguarding the whole family's respiratory health.

The new car also integrates cutting-edge intelligent technology into safety protection. The entire series comes standard with a full-scenario rollover protection system, which can produce a linked response at the moment of an accident, rapidly deploying the side curtain airbag within 50 ms and completing rollover protection measures such as fuel circuit cutoff and door unlocking within 200 ms; it also has the class-exclusive active-passive integrated underride technology and has successfully passed the devil's underride challenge, creating a mobile safety fortress.

For a long time, the product strength of Lynk & Co 09 has won recognition from the market and users. According to a report by the China Automobile Dealers Association, the three-year value retention rate of Lynk & Co 09 reaches 62.40%, ranking first among self-owned mid-to-large SUVs in value retention rate and surpassing the Japanese mainstream value-retention myth Highlander (62.21%). The comprehensive advancement of the 2026 Lynk & Co 09 not only breaks the barrier between fuel and electric experience, but also sets a new benchmark in its class where high value-for-money and high value retention coexist, becoming the well-deserved optimal solution for mid-to-large fuel SUVs at the price of a B-segment SUV.
