The All-New Lancia Ypsilon: A Blend of Hybrid and Electric Powertrains
Introduction
Lancia has unveiled the latest Ypsilon model in Italy, featuring both mild-hybrid and fully electric options. The lineup offers three trim levels, including the standard Ypsilon, the high-spec LX, and the flagship Edizione Cassina, which is now a permanent addition to the range.
Availability and Pricing
The new Ypsilon will be available for delivery in Italy starting early June. The mild-hybrid version starts at €24,900 ($26,500), while the electric variant begins at €34,900 ($37,200) before incentives.
Trim Levels
The lineup consists of three trims – the standard Ypsilon, the high-spec LX, and the flagship Edizione Cassina. The Edizione Cassina is now widely available, unlike its limited launch edition. The LX trim reintroduces a moniker first used by Lancia in 1966 for its high-spec models.
Visual Distinctions
The hybrid versions of the Ypsilon feature additional cooling intakes on the front bumper and a discreet tailpipe on the rear diffuser. The EV variant conceals the cooling intakes and lacks a visible tailpipe. The models also showcase new 17-inch alloy wheels with a dark finish.
Color Options
The Ypsilon offers six exterior color options inspired by Italian materials. Additionally, a bi-tone treatment with a black roof, pillars, and mirrors is available for those seeking a unique look.
Interior Features
The entry-level Ypsilon boasts recycled materials in sage green and obsidian black for the seats, along with brushed bronze accents. The LX trim offers an anthracite gray cabin with rust velvet seats and unique materials like Marm/More made of marble dust waste.
Powertrain Options
The mild-hybrid Ypsilon features a turbocharged 1.2-liter gasoline engine paired with a 48-volt battery and an electric motor. The fully electric model produces 154 hp and offers a WLTP range of up to 403 km between charges.
Pricing and Availability
The Lancia Ypsilon is now available for order in Italy, with prices starting at €24,900 for the mild hybrid version and €34,900 for the electric variant. Deliveries are set to begin in early June.
