Vehicle model
Lynk&Co 09
The Lynk&Co 09 is a large three-row premium SUV, offered in six- or seven-seat configuration, unveiled in 2021. It is the brand's largest and most upscale model, built on the SPA platform shared with the second-generation Volvo XC90, from which it borrows the wheelbase (about 2.98 m) for a length exceeding 5 m. It is aimed at large families and a clientele seeking space, comfort, and a refined interior at a price below that of European benchmarks. Being a large SUV, the 09 commonly runs large 20- to 21-inch wheels (5x108 bolt pattern), which makes a second winter set of more modest diameter relevant in Quebec for comfort and cost. The 09 is not officially marketed in North America.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Lynk&Co reprennent des dimensions de pneus et de jantes typiques de leurs cousines Volvo/Geely. Les compacts CMA (01, 03) utilisent généralement des jantes de 17 à 19 pouces, tandis que le grand SUV 09 (base XC90) monte couramment du 20 voire 21 pouces. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) le plus fréquent sur ces plateformes est le 5x108, courant chez Volvo. Pour un usage au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés sont essentiels et obligatoires en saison ; une seconde monte en diamètre de jante inférieur (par exemple 17 ou 18 pouces) avec pneus hiver est un choix répandu pour le confort et le coût. Les chiffres exacts dépendent du modèle et de la finition.
