Lancia: Comeback of the year with the Ypsilon 🎥
TRADITION The Lancia Ypsilon compact class model marks the start of the Lancia comeback in several countries. Its 115 kW electric motor (156 hp) ensures good driving performance. Ranges of up to more than 400 kilometers.
The new Lancia Ypsilon marks the beginning of a new era for the traditional Italian brand. It starts in Italy with the special edition Cassina model, limited to 1906 units. In its home country, the new model replaces the predecessor model of the same name, which was still in third place in 2023 with around 45,000 units sold and even took the top position in the B segment. In total, more than three million units of the Ypsilon series have been sold across Europe in just under 40 years.
Stainless steel brand name
Just 4.08 meters long, the Ypsilon visually follows the design direction introduced with the Lancia Pu+Ra HPE concept car. The characteristic lines are created by layering and superimposing basic geometric shapes such as circles, rectangles and triangles. Numerous design elements are reminiscent of historic models such as the Aurelia and Flaminia as well as the Stratos and Delta Integrale. A typical element on the front of the vehicle is the brand name, which is made of satin-finished stainless steel and will also be found on other models from the brand. The round LED tail lights at the rear are a tribute to the legendary rally hero Lancia Stratos. The letter Y is integrated into these lights.
Up to 80 percent in 24 minutes
The Ypsilon is based on the Stellantis Group's e-CMP platform and is the first step in the brand's renaissance with its all-electric drive. The electric motor produces 115 kW (156 PS) and provides a maximum torque of 260 Nm. The 54 kWh battery ensures a WLTP range of more than 400 kilometers. With fast charging up to 100 kW, the battery can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in 24 minutes.
Rich sound and eight colors
One technical highlight is the S.A.L.A. interface: Sala, Italian for living room, is Lancia's abbreviation for Sound, Air, Light and Augmentation. The system centralizes the audio, air conditioning and lighting functions. For example, it is possible to control the rich sound specially tuned for the interior and the eight colors of the ambient lighting by touching a single button or using voice commands.
