Chinese SUV Claims 847 Miles of Range for $37K, Because Why Not Throw In a 95-Inch Screen Too
Lynk & Co's new SUV claims 847 miles of range, costs $37K, and packs a 95-inch screen - because apparently practicality is now measured in screen inches and kilometers.
Lynk & Co has unleashed a new version of its flagship Lynk & Co 900 in China, and the headline numbers sound like someone sneezed while typing a press release. The five-seat SUV claims a total range of up to 1,363 km (847 miles), and it starts at just $37,300.
That combination of luxury features, absurd range, and pricing that wouldn't buy a mid-trim Honda Accord in the U.S. is yet another reminder that Chinese automakers are speed-running the premium SUV playbook. This new five-seat version joins the existing six-seat Lynk & Co 900, shifting focus toward practicality with a larger cargo area and an additional 80-liter hidden storage compartment. Chinese outlets report cargo depth measuring roughly 1,350 mm - perfect for road trips or hiding the evidence of your impulse buys.
Second-row space has also been improved, and one unique feature remains: a seat that folds nearly flat to create a dedicated child rest area, because apparently kids deserve first-class naps on family drives.
Like every Chinese flagship vehicle these days, the interior is a love letter to screens. The Lynk & Co 900 offers a 95-inch augmented reality head-up display - that's more screen real estate than your living room, in a car that starts below $40,000. Buyers can choose between 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter hybrid powertrains. The range-topping 2.0-liter version produces serious performance for a family SUV, though Lynk & Co is keeping the exact horsepower figure close to its chest for now.
The SUV uses CATL's hybrid battery pack with a capacity of 52.38 kWh, and fast charging from 20% to 80% reportedly takes just 17 minutes. As always, these figures are based on China's optimistic CLTC testing cycle, so real-world numbers would likely be lower - but still impressive.
The Lynk & Co 900 also comes equipped with 29 driver-assistance sensors, including cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors. Higher trims use Nvidia's Drive AGX Thor chip for advanced highway and city-assisted driving features.
Between ultra-fast charging EVs, 1,000-horsepower family SUVs, and increasingly aggressive pricing, Chinese automakers are moving at a pace that legacy brands can only match by hitting the panic button. The new Lynk & Co 900 is another reminder that what sounds impossible today often becomes normal surprisingly fast - and that your next family hauler might just have more screens than your house.
