Step into a world where luxury meets innovation. The Lynk & Co 09 isn’t just another SUV—it’s a statement. Combining bold design, advanced safety, and premium features, this vehicle sets a new standard for family SUVs with a Scandinavian-inspired touch.
Founded in 2016, Lynk & Co aims to break the rules. A collaboration between Geely, Geely Auto, and Volvo means every car carries Volvo’s DNA: safety, reliability, and quality. Following a 2024 restructuring, Zeekr now owns 51% while Geely retains 49%, explaining the technical and philosophical alignment between Lynk & Co and Zeekr.
Available in the UAE through Al Khair Motors, the brand brings a fresh perspective to premium mobility.
Exterior: Bold, Distinct, and Confident
The 09 is a mid-size luxury SUV built on Volvo’s Scalable Product Architecture (SPA)—the same platform underpinning the XC90, S90, and XC60. The exterior is striking: LED daytime running lights, a unique vertical grille, sleek flowing lines, and 20-inch Goodyear SUV tires that combine elegance and sportiness. Signature touches are visible across side lights, wheels, and rear lights, giving the car a distinctive identity.
Interior: Luxury Meets Technology
Inside, the 09 is a blend of comfort and high-tech sophistication. Napa leather seats come in white, tan, or black, while rear privacy shades and a 14.6-inch central touchscreen make for an intuitive infotainment experience. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster changes based on drive mode. The cabin offers three rows of seats, foldable rear seats, and flexible storage: 269 liters with all seats up and 862 liters with the third row folded. Air vents, cup holders, charging ports, and even rear airbags extend throughout the cabin—a rarity in this class.
Premium trims feature a Bose audio system with up to 14 speakers and four-zone climate control for passenger comfort.
Mechanical Specifications: Power, Efficiency, and Smoothness
The 09 combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 48V mild hybrid system, producing 254 PS (251 hp) and 350 Nm of torque. An 8-speed automatic gearbox from Aisin ensures smooth shifts, with software calibrated for various driving conditions, including light off-road excursions. Fuel efficiency stands at 12.6 km/l, making it economical without compromising performance.
The SUV features a permanent all-wheel-drive system from BorgWarner, paired with a multi-link rear suspension, delivering both comfort and stability.
Safety: Confidence Behind the Wheel
Safety is central, thanks to 23 driver-assist systems, including:
5 mm-wave radars
12 ultrasonic radars
4 360-degree cameras
Forward-facing lane monitoring
In-cabin driver attention monitoring
All integrated under Lynk & Co Pilot, helping maintain lane position, safe distance, and overall driving confidence.
