If you ask, which SUV has the most outstanding appearance design or the most sporty appearance in the 300,000 yuan class, the answers will definitely vary. But if you ask, which SUV has the best safety factor and handling performance in this price range, then the editor believes that Lynk & Co 09 (parameters | inquiry | pictures) should be the only answer. Next, the editor will analyze the specific reasons.
First of all, consumers who are familiar with cars know that the platform on which a car is born often has a great impact on the overall performance of the car, and Lynk & Co 09 () has a very "high specification" in terms of platform choice, adopting Volvo SPA platform. This platform is Volvo's "ace" platform for fuel vehicles, and its models include S90, XC90, V90, etc. It can be said that Volvo's best positioned and best models all come from this platform. Thanks to the advantages of the platform design, Lynk & Co 09 leaves a sufficient safety buffer zone for vehicle users, and has enough space to absorb the energy generated by the impact when encountering a collision. The "short front overhang + long rear overhang" "The design concept also ensures the safety of passengers in every row.
In addition to the platform advantages, the materials used in Lynk & Co 09 are also worthy of "deep study". The use ratio of hot-formed steel as high as 37.26% can be said to be "outstanding" at this level. The special fox-head airbag can bring more sufficient safety protection to passengers. At the same time, the proportion of aluminum chassis parts as high as 48% can greatly reduce the unsprung mass and improve the safety of high-speed driving. In addition, the front suspension of Lynk & Co 09 adopts a double-wishbone structure, which is a higher-cost but better-supportive suspension structure that usually only appears in products such as BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Land Rover Range Rover. and other expensive luxury SUVs. As an SUV priced at 300,000 yuan, the Lynk & Co 09 adopts this double-wishbone suspension structure, which can be said to be a rare thing.
With the blessing of excellent platform + solid materials, it is not difficult to explain the performance of Lynk & Co 09 as "high safety, great control". According to official data, Lynk & Co's SPA architecture products can meet the 64km/h on both sides. The 25% offset collision is 14km/h higher than the test speed of China Insurance Research Institute and IIHS. The fuel tank can be completely leak-free in a rear-end collision at 84km/h, and the high and low voltage circuits have no risk of leakage or short circuit, exceeding the domestic standard of no oil leakage in a rear-end collision at 50km/h.
From the above two points, we can easily see that the reason why Lynk & Co 09 has excellent control performance and high safety factor comes from its use of advanced platforms and excellent materials. In addition, we can also feel Lynk & Co’s commitment to personnel safety. We value it, and we also hope that in the future, more car companies will follow Lynk & Co's lead and design and produce models with high safety factors and excellent handling performance.
