Lynk & Co 900 preorders surge

Lynk & Co said its new 900 sport utility vehicle logged more than 40,000 pre-orders before its April 28, 2025 launch in Shanghai. (reuters.com) The company disclosed the figure at the Shanghai auto show on April 23, 2025, five days before the model’s formal launch. Auto Shanghai 2025 ran from April 25 to May 2 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center. (reuters.com) (autoshanghai.org) When the 900 went on sale on April 28, Lynk & Co said deliveries had started and described the vehicle as a large six-seat family sport utility vehicle. The launch price started at 309,900 yuan, below the 330,000-yuan pre-sale starting price cited earlier. (zeekrgroup.com) (cnevpost.com) The 900 sits at the top of Lynk & Co’s lineup in China and gives the brand a bigger entry in the large plug-in hybrid sport utility vehicle market. CnEVPost said the model is the first Lynk & Co launch after Zeekr completed its merger with the brand on February 14, 2025. (cnevpost.com) (ir.zeekrgroup.com) That market has become one of China’s busiest battlegrounds, with domestic brands using long-range hybrid systems, large cabins and lower prices to chase buyers who might once have looked at imported luxury sport utility vehicles. CarNewsChina said Lynk & Co positioned the 900 against the Aito M9, Li Auto L9 and Denza N9. (carnewschina.com) (globalsuv.com) Published specifications describe a three-row, six-seat plug-in hybrid with up to 872 horsepower, depending on version. CarNewsChina reported up to 280 kilometers of electric-only range on China’s CLTC test cycle, which usually produces higher numbers than U.S. or European testing. (carnewschina.com) (globalsuv.com) Lynk & Co’s own release put the 900 at 5,240 millimeters long with a 3,160-millimeter wheelbase, dimensions that place it squarely in the full-size class. The company also said the vehicle rides on its SPA Evo platform. (zeekrgroup.com) (lynkco-sa.com) The early order tally does not show how many reservations will convert into final sales, but it gives Lynk & Co a strong opening number as it pushes further upmarket inside China’s crowded new-energy vehicle market. The next hard test came after the launch price was set and deliveries began on April 28, 2025. (reuters.com) (zeekrgroup.com)
