HANGZHOU, China, Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As a highlight of the 2025 Riyadh Season, the "Edge of the World – Sunset Expedition" brought the Lynk & Co 09 into one of Saudi Arabia's most dramatic natural landscapes. Celebrities, professional drivers conducted in-depth test drives from steep escarpments to sunset ridges, noting Lynk & Co 09 for its composed handling, quiet sophistication, and confident off-road capability. The journey reinforced the model's flagship stature and further elevated Lynk & Co's presence in the Middle East's premium SUV segment.

Inside the Lynk & Co 09, European design meets real-world comfort — a space that proved its value on the "Edge of the World" route.

Even as the exterior faced dramatic landscapes, the cabin remained serene thanks to exceptional NVH performance, with lifestyle influencers highlighting how Lynk & Co 09 turned harsh terrains into a refined travel experience.
The "Edge of the World" ascent showcased the 09's full performance capability. The Drive-E 2.0TD engine and 48V mild-hybrid system delivered smooth, consistent power, while the SPA-based chassis and aluminum double-wishbone suspension maintained stability across loose sand, shifting gravel, and steep inclines. With the FYRA 4WD system and four terrain modes, Lynk & Co 09 progressed confidently through challenging slopes, gripping securely on gravel surface /sandy-gravel grounds & desert—demonstrating true all-terrain strength under real expedition conditions. This verifies the Lynk & Co 09's adaptability to all scenarios.
Across the long journey from urban roadways to desert ridges, the 09's third-generation Snapdragon digital cockpit, 12.8-inch W-HUD, and Lynk Co-Pilot system 360-degree panoramic digital images delivered clarity and intuitive interaction. Whether navigating complex highway interchanges or identifying off-road paths along cliff edges, the intelligent system responded quickly and provided consistent support in shifting environments.
