The New Lancia Ypsilon Unveiled

Rarely has a product launch been so chaotic. While Lancia had planned a gradual tease of the Ypsilon, it has become a star online!
The new Lancia Ypsilon was spotted a few weeks ago during a photo shoot in Italy. One wonders if the cousin of the Peugeot 208 was intentionally leaking information, given the number of leaks in recent days! With the suspense having lasted long enough, it was time for Lancia to officially reveal its small electric car.


The leaked images highlight a number of design features, including round taillights and an unexpectedly vertical trunk line, perhaps reminiscent of the iconic Lancia Stratos. Additionally, the car features a two-tone finish. The grille, accompanied by low-set headlights, resembles the latest prototypes from the Stellantis brand.
According to available information, the new Lancia Ypsilon will be equipped with a fully electric version, similar to the current Peugeot e-208. This model will be the first from the Turin-based brand to boast such a feature. Alongside this, a thermal version with a mild hybrid powertrain will also be part of the lineup. The hybrid variant will feature a 48-volt system with a 1.2-liter, 100-horsepower engine with mild electrification.



The official unveiling of the new Lancia Ypsilon is scheduled for February 2024 in Milan, and it is expected to be displayed at the Geneva Motor Show. In the meantime, car enthusiasts are speculating about more leaks, given the unexpected reveal of the design. There are also rumors of a high-performance version with all-wheel drive and a 240-horsepower engine, expected to be released in 2025.
