Throw takes another step in his restart project. CEO Luca NapolitanoIndeed, he announced that Lancia is ready to begin production of the new Ypsilon, the first of three models the brand will launch by 2028.
Today begins another chapter of our plan. I am pleased to announce that we are ready to produce the new Ypsilon: it will be the first of three vehicles in the new brand plan and will be launched in 2024 in 48V all-electric and hybrid versions. 2024, Gamma in 2026, Delta in 2028, with a new model every 2 years.
Thus, the number one brand once again confirms that the new Ypsilon will be on sale. both in 100% electric version and with hybrid engine (mild hybrids). Where will this new model be produced? The first vehicle in the automaker’s revival plan will be built at the Figueruelas plant near Zaragoza.
Thus, everything is ready for the start of production of the first samples of the new car, which will then be used for testing in anticipation of the official market launch. As Napolitano always points out, the new Ypsilon will be about 4 meters long. In addition, some design elements will be taken from the very special Lancia Pu+Ra HPE concept, presented in mid-April. From the concept, the car will also inherit the new SALA (Sound Air Light Augmentation) interface from which you “they will be able to control the audio, climate control and lighting functions so that the driver and passenger can adapt the environment inside the car by simply pressing a button or by using the sound of their voice.“.
In 2025, Lancia also plans to release a high-frequency version of the new Ypsilon, which will be lower, about 4 cm wider and much more powerful. According to what Napolitano previously said, the output will be around 240 hp.
Over the next few months, as we get closer to the presentation of the new Ypsilon, more information will likely come to light that will allow us to better understand the characteristics of this new model.
