Lancia Ypsilon Range Detailed, Mild Hybrid Starts From €24,900 In Italy

–>

Lancia formally introduced the all-new Ypsilon in the Italian market, two months after the debut of the Limited Edition Cassina which is now a permanent member of the lineup. The mild hybrid version is priced from €24,900 ($26,500), while the EV starts from €34,900 ($37,200) before incentives.

The lineup includes three trims – the standard Ypsilon, the high-spec LX, and the flagship Edizione Cassina. The latter is now widely available, unlike the identical launch special that was limited to 1906 units. Notably, the LX marks the return of a moniker that was first used by Lancia in 1966 for its high-spec models.

Visually, the hybrid versions are distinguished by four additional cooling intakes on the front bumper which remain covered in the EV. Another difference is the presence of a discreet tailpipe on the rear diffuser, signifying the presence of a combustion engine. In the new photos we also get to see a different set of 17-inch alloy wheels with four double spokes and a dark finish.

The color palette includes six exterior shades – Grigio Granito, Nero Ardesia, Bianco Marmo, Blu Lancia, Verde Giada, and Oro – all inspired by Italian materials. The hatchback is also available with a bi-tone treatment featuring a black roof, pillars, and mirrors.

Lancia Ypsilon Electric

Inside, the entry-level Ypsilon uses recycled materials combining sage green with obsidian black for the seats and brushed bronze accents. Standard equipment includes wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, parking sensors, and the basic ADAS.

The more luxurious LX trim features an anthracite gray cabin with rust velvet seats. The “wainscoted weave” pattern on the seats is combined with recycled fabrics and a new material called Marm/More made of marble dust waste. Equipment is more generous, adding features like a wireless charging pad, front and rear cameras, Adaptive Cruise Control, and a drive mode selector.

Finally, the Edizione Cassina flagship features a Blu Lancia interior with velvet seat upholstery and the Cassina multifunction tavolino table on the center console which is made of bio-based plastics. It also gets dual 10.25-inch displays, alongside two 180-degree cameras, and the full package of ADAS giving it Level 2 autonomous capabilities.

Mild Hybrid or Electric

The mild-hybrid powertrain comprises a turbocharged 1.2-liter gasoline engine producing 99 hp (74 kW / 101 PS), a 48-Volt battery, and a small electric motor mounted within the six-speed e-DCT automatic gearbox. The ICE-powered Ypsilon is good for a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph). At the same time, the CO2 emissions are limited to 103-104 g/km in the combined WLTP cycle, largely thanks to its ability to drive on electric power alone for certain periods of time in urban environments.

The fully electric Ypsilon is more powerful than the ICE-powered model, producing 154 hp (115 kW / 156 PS). At the same time, the 51 kWh battery pack offers a WLTP range of up to 403 km (250 miles) between charges. Lancia has also confirmed a fully electric Ypsilon HF performance flagship set to arrive in 2025 with 237 hp (177 kW / 240 PS) and a sportier suspension setup.

Order books for the Lancia Ypsilon are now open in Italy. Pricing for the mild hybrid version starts from €24,900 ($26,500), which makes it significantly cheaper than the EV. The list price for the electric Ypsilon starts from €34,900 ($37,200), decreasing to €31,900 ($34,000) with the local government incentives, or to €29,900 ($31,900) if the buyer trades in a older vehicle (with up to Euro 4 rating). Deliveries of the new model in the Italian market will commence in early June.
