This is the new electric Lancia Ypsilon

• The Cassina version will cost 39,990 euros.

• It will be produced in Zaragoza along with other Stellantis models.

• There will be a cheaper mild hybrid version in the future.

Talking about Lancia Ypsilon meant talking about a small city car, born back in 2008, with petrol and diesel engines with power up to 100 hp… until now. The Italian company presented at the Milan exhibition the new generation of Ypsilon: fully electric and with upcoming sales in Spain.

This is a completely updated car that has little in common with the original model, except for a purely urban atmosphere. The latter is inevitable since the platform on which it is based is the CMP, shared with other models such as the Peugeot e-208 or Opel Corsa-e.

Italian, made in Spain

In terms of design, the version presented by Lancia is the result of an exclusive collaboration with Cassina, an Italian home design firm. The design language is modern, with great value of LED headlights at the frontand a rear end with elements of the Lancia Stratos, a sports car from the brand that competed in rallies between the 70s and 80s.

It’s a small car, 4.08 meters long, 1.76 meters wide and 1.44 meters high. In terms of size, they are practically copied from their Stellantis brothers, although this model wants to stand out with its technological arsenal. In fact, it’s the only small car in the group with Level 2 autonomous driving.

This allows for partial driving automation, in which auxiliary systems are able to control the vehicle in the transverse and longitudinal direction. Despite this, the driver’s attention is always required.

Inside, it has two huge 10.25-inch screens that are compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The seats, upholstered and personalized, are equipped with electronic adjustment, massage and heating as standard, at least in the Cassina version.

As for the mechanics, we are talking about a car that will come in a single version. One with a 51 kWh lithium battery powering a 115 kW (156 hp) electric motor with a maximum torque of 260 Nm. According to Lancia, the WLTP cycle autonomy is 403 kilometers. Charging is promised from 0 to 80% in 24 minutes, with an approved consumption of 14.3 and 14.6 kWh for every 100 km.
