Lynk & Co is entering a new chapter in the Philippines, with its local business operations officially folding into Geely Motor Philippines under the automaker’s “One Geely” strategy. In the official announcement, Lynk & Co confirmed its Philippine operations “will be officially integrated into the operating system of Geely Motor Philippines subsidiary (GMP),” a realignment the brand described as a move to deepen synergy and escalate its long-term investment in the country.
A direct-announcement, not a distributor roundabout
Lynk & Co, which entered the Philippine market in March 2024 under United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAAGI), framed the shift as leveraging GMP’s established local operational foundation and resources to accelerate product introduction and market expansion. The company said it will further develop its sales and service network under the new setup.
Geely Auto International’s general manager for the ASEAN right-hand-drive business unit, Ye Qin, thanked UAAGI in the official statement, saying it “actively driven the brand’s local market development” and laying a foundation for expanding Lynk & Co’s presence in the country. He stressed the Philippines remains a crucial market and that Geely will keep increasing its investment, enriching the product lineup and strengthening sales and service infrastructure.
Meet the Lynk & Co 900
The realignment coincides with a brand refresh beginning in the fourth quarter of 2026, and the Lynk & Co 900 leads the new lineup. The official announcement positions the 900 as Lynk & Co’s flagship SUV, centered on space, comfort, and safety for family premium travel, blending long-distance comfort with smart mobility features.
The 900 is a full-size SUV in the premium plug-in hybrid segment, and it appeared on the Department of Energy’s list of recognized electric vehicles earlier this year. Initial reports point to a single “Ultra” variant with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with dual electric motors, good for a combined 724 hp and 1,038 Nm of torque, though detailed product specifications and launch arrangements will be disclosed “in due course.”
Back to basics on the brand
Lynk & Co was established in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2016 as a premium global brand, and in 2024, Zeekr became its majority owner with a 51 percent stake, with Geely Auto holding the remaining 49 percent. It is one of several brands managed by Geely Auto Group, alongside Geely Auto and Zeekr.
Geely Motor Philippines, which began operations in February 2025, is the local subsidiary of Geely Holding Group. The 900’s Q4 arrival gives Lynk & Co a new flagship as it enters its next phase under the GMP umbrella, in a plug-in and hybrid segment we have tracked closely, from Geely’s EX5 EM-i against the BYD Seal to the best-value electrics by price.
