As people's demand for transportation becomes more and more intense, more and more people are setting their sights on the SUV market. Because of its large bearing space and strong comfort, it is very much in line with the current consumer demand for cars. As the flagship model of the Lynk & Co brand, like the Volvo XC90, XC60 and S90, the Lynk & Co 09 is a product of the SPA platform, and was even once called "the flat model of the Volvo XC90". Because of this, many people are very curious, how is the product strength of Lynk & Co 09?
Lynk & Co 09 is positioned as a medium and large SUV, currently selling 5 models, with a price range of 265,900-320,900 yuan. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the minimum company, the other two models of the Lynk & Co 09 are available in 6-seat or 7-seat versions for consumers to choose. In terms of appearance, Lynk & Co 09 adopts the family design of the Lynk & Co brand, but in the front part of the face and other models of the Lynk & Co family, Lynk & Co 09 adopts a straight waterfall intake grille, which looks more domineering, the headlamp group is still a split headlight design, and the lower headlamp also uses a pixel module for higher illumination accuracy.

The design of the Lynk & Co 09 in the rear part of the car is still simple and atmospheric, the slight downward extension of the top line makes it look bloated, the tail light still adopts the Lynk & Co family-style "energy crystal tail light", from the center to the two sides of the design gradually diverged well extends the lateral width of the tail, after lighting at night, very recognizable, while the lower surrounding imitation diffuser decoration and bilateral exhaust layout, very sporty.
In terms of interior, the Lynk & Co 09 adopts a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, which is clearly displayed and can switch different styles according to different driving modes, and can also project a map to the central area, highlighting the sense of technology. The whole series adopts a 12-inch touch LCD screen and a 6-inch air conditioning control screen, of which the central control screen supports voice control, Car Networking, OTA upgrades and other functions, and is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 vehicle specification chip, which ensures the fluency of the car system, and the air conditioning control screen retains two physical knobs, and is independent of the entire car machine system, which is more easy to use.
The entire Lynk & Co 09 series is equipped with sporty seats and is wrapped in leather material with soft padding. At the same time, the high-end model of the Lynk & Co 09 also has a 16-way electric adjustment of the main co-pilot, and the functions of heating, ventilation and massage are also equipped, while the second row of seats with independent layout is more spacious and comfortable, and supports all-electric adjustment, which is more functional. However, the small platform raised in the middle of the third row of seats makes the space more cramped, and the short-distance ride is OK, and the long-distance ride is not as comfortable as the first two rows of seats for passengers. Although the third row of space is not large, but the two sides of the trim are equipped with mobile phone slots, the filler also has a buckle cover, which shows that the Lynk & Co brand is still not less considerate of the third row of passengers.

The larger body dimensions can accommodate more complex internal structures, and thanks to the construction of the SPA platform, the chassis structure of the Lynk & Co 09 uses more lightweight materials while supporting the air suspension system.
