Lynk & Co is set for a new chapter in the Philippines, with its local operations now being integrated into Geely Motor Philippines (GMP).
The move brings the former’s premium new energy brand under the latter’s operating system as part of its “One Geely” strategy. According to Geely Motor Philippines, the realignment is intended to strengthen the brand’s local operations, speed up product introductions and help expand its sales and service network.
For Lynk & Co, the change comes after its Philippine market entry in March 2024. The brand had previously worked with United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAAGI), which Geely acknowledged for helping establish its presence in the country.
Now, with GMP taking on the operating framework, Lynk & Co says it can make greater use of Geely’s existing local resources and infrastructure. The company expects this to provide a stronger foundation for expanding its sales and service network while improving its ability to respond to local market demands.
The bigger story, however, may be what comes next.
Lynk & Co plans to begin a brand refresh in the Philippines during the fourth quarter of 2026. The refresh will be accompanied by the introduction of a new generation of premium products under the GMP operating framework.
Leading that product offensive will be the Lynk & Co 900, a full-size SUV positioned in the premium plug-in hybrid segment. The flagship model is being pitched around space, comfort, safety and smart technology, with Lynk & Co targeting families looking for a more upscale new-energy vehicle.
The Lynk & Co 900 is scheduled to make its Philippine debut in Q4 2026, although the company has yet to announce detailed specifications, pricing and launch arrangements.
The timing puts Lynk & Co in an increasingly interesting part of the Philippine automotive market, where electrified vehicles and premium SUVs continue to attract attention. For GMP, meanwhile, the integration gives it another premium new-energy brand to develop alongside its existing operations.
Geely Motor Philippines officially began operations in February 2025 as the local subsidiary of Geely Holding Group. Lynk & Co is one of the brands managed by Geely Auto Group, alongside Geely Auto and Zeekr.
Autocar’s Take
Lynk & Co’s integration into Geely Motor Philippines feels like more than a simple change in operational structure. The real test will be how quickly the move translates into better products, stronger after-sales support and a wider local presence. The upcoming Lynk & Co 900 is particularly interesting because it puts a full-size premium PHEV SUV into the brand’s Philippine lineup.
With its Q4 2026 arrival, Lynk & Co Philippines gets an opportunity to establish a clearer identity in the increasingly competitive premium new-energy market. For buyers, the most important thing now is seeing whether GMP can turn the brand’s renewed ambitions into a genuinely compelling ownership proposition.
