As we know, the first model of Lancia’s relaunch strategy will be the new generation Ypsilon, which will be both hybrid and electric. In 2026however, will arrive there new flagship. Now we know a little more about this project thanks to Luca Napolitano, who provided additional information during the presentation of the HPE Pu+Ra concept car.
Flagship Lancia. it will be called Gammawill be alone length about 4.7 meters and will be 100% electric. It will arrive in 2026 and has been identified as “sportback“. Previously, it was thought that the flagship could be called Aurelia. Instead, the automaker has chosen a different name. For this model, the goal is to combine sales of 50% in Italy and 50% abroad. From the point of view, we know that it will rely on the new medium platform STLA Stellantis and what the purpose is to offer range up to 700 km.
Of course, it’s too early to talk about engines, but the platform allows you to build cars with one or two electric motors. Lancia relies so heavily on this model that Napolitano defines it as “elegant and innovative“. A very interesting project, at least on paper. However, to find out more, we will have to wait a while. In the meantime, the brand will focus on the debut of the new generation of Ypsilon. An interesting novelty in this model.
So, the new Ypsilon will appear in 2024. The news, however, is that in 2025 debut one more sporty version which will be called Upsilon HF. Compared to the “standard” model, it will be lower, about 4 cm wider and much more powerful. And Napolitano talks about power about 240 hp. It has not yet been specified whether the Lancia Ypsilon HF will be endothermic or electric. However, there is speculation that this sportier version may only be offered with a 100% electric powertrain.
Therefore, it remains only to wait from the car manufacturer for more information about the project of the new Ypsilon. Since the debut will start in 2024, more information will likely start to come in in the next few months. As a reminder, the new Ypsilon will also be sold in Europe, and not just in Italy, thanks to a new brand growth strategy.
