Nouvelle Lancia Ypsilon

“With the New Lancia Ypsilon, the first car of the brand’s new era, we are relaunching, starting from Italy. Its design is inspired by the brand’s glorious past, now reinterpreted in a modern way. The model represents the ultimate expression of on-board comfort and design, characterized by cutting-edge technology and connectivity, but always simple and intuitive, in perfect Lancia style. This result was also achieved thanks to the collaboration with Cassina, who, together with our Centro Stile in Turin, designed a real living room, inspired by welcoming Italian homes,” says Luca Napolitano, CEO of the Lancia brand.

THE NEW LANCIA YPSILON EDIZIONE LIMITATA CASSINA

The New LANCIA YPSILON EDIZIONE LIMITATA CASSINA is available in Italy in 1906 certified and numbered units, a number that pays homage to the year of Lancia’s founding. This new model strengthens the link between two leading brands in their respective fields: automobiles and interior design. This is the new stage of a journey that began with the interiors of the Lancia Pu+Ra HPE concept car: the two brands are in fact linked by common values such as their strong vocation for research and innovation, respect for tradition and attention to environmental issues.

This alliance of tradition and innovation is displayed while respecting the pure and radical language of the brand in terms of design. But the new LANCIA YPSILON EDIZIONE LIMITATA CASSINA is also the first car inspired by the world of Italian furniture. It embodies design, comfort and well-being.

The new model illustrates the great attention paid to every stylistic detail, from the selection of materials to the choice of colors: blue is emblematic of Lancia tradition and appears both inside the car and outside. Soft recycled blue velvet wraps the seats, with a ribbed pattern and double stitching, the same color being repeated on the door panel and dashboard inserts. Lancia blue is also found on the model’s elegant and contemporary bodywork: it blends with the black of the alloy wheels, displaying a refined visual impact devoid of chrome.

One of the main features of the new LANCIA YPSILON EDIZIONE LIMITATA CASSINA is the Cassina multifunctional “tavolino”. The first coffee table present inside a car, it is used by Lancia to create a welcoming space in accordance with its historical values. The passenger compartment thus becomes a real “living room” which offers comfort worthy of home and a harmonious and elegant space.

The Italian spirit, the search for comfort and the reinterpretation of tradition are among the values that have guided the two brands in this collaboration. The reinterpretation of tradition is materialized for example by the use of innovative recycled and recyclable materials, such as the emblematic Lancia fabric which has been given a new identity thanks to a contemporary material, velvet with a ribbed weave and used for seats and their backs. The other parts are made of recycled PVC. The electric, massaging and heated seats are real armchairs that maximize well-being on board. Well-being also ensured by great acoustic comfort.

Powered by a 100% electric motor, the model offers a range of 403 km in the WLTP combined cycle and the battery’s fast charging system allows it to recharge from 20 to 80% in just 24 minutes. Less than 10 minutes of charging allows it to travel 100 km. The New Lancia Ypsilon is supported by Free2move Charge, a complete and integrated 360° ecosystem that aims to provide charging solutions both at home and on the road.

The New Ypsilon modernly reinterprets the historic Lancia grille, now revisited with three rays of light. It also highlights the Lancia lettering, as on all future models, the iconic round LED rear lights – inspired by the legendary Lancia Stratos, the innovative S.A.L.A. infotainment system. (Sound Air Light Augmentation), pillar of Lancia’s effortless technology, as well as Level 2 autonomous driving, to travel outside the city in a safer way and with a simplified driving experience.

The new Lancia Ypsilon is an intelligent city car. Thanks to front and rear cameras and sensors, its parking assistance system makes it easier to drive and maneuver in the city. Its two 10.25-inch screens (instrument cluster and digital radio) display information with great clarity and can be personalized in terms of layout and colors. The technological equipment is completed by the keyless entry and starting system, a wireless phone charger and the Android Auto/Apple CarPlay systems.

The New Ypsilon represents the first step in Lancia’s Renaissance according to a clear and ambitious electrification strategy fully in line with Stellantis’ “Dare Forward” strategic plan.

Nouvelle Lancia Ypsilon

Lancia and Cassina, two extraordinary Italian brands

The new Lancia Ypsilon is the first car of the brand’s new era and as such perfectly embodies Lancia’s new approach and new modus operandi.

The partnership between Lancia and Cassina takes shape with the New LANCIA YPSILON EDIZIONE LIMITATA CASSINA. This model embodies design, comfort and well-being on board, thanks to the collaboration with Cassina, a leading Italian brand in the field of high-end furnishings. A collaboration that is reflected in the attention paid to stylistic details and in the choice of materials and colors.

The joint thinking between Lancia and Cassina is inspired by “The Cassina Perspective”, the company’s vision consisting of combining the most innovative products with the icons of modernity in order to create welcoming environments, according to a unique approach of excellence in design material.

The symbol of this collaboration is the multifunctional “tavolino” created by Cassina, a new design element covered in hand-made leather that embodies the brand’s artisanal know-how.

In accordance with the pillars of Lancia’s Renaissance, the New Ypsilon places the world of design under the sign of sustainable development, according to the principle of Sustylenability, a term uniting “sustainability” and “style”, in accordance with the values defined in the framework of Lancia’s ten-year strategic plan.

The values that have guided the two brands on this journey are the Italian spirit, the taste for the iconic, innovation, research and respect for tradition as well as the attention paid to environmental issues. Respecting tradition means redesigning the Lancia tradition using innovative recycled and recyclable materials, as in the main components of the recreation of a “living room”. An example: a unique use of a historic and emblematic material, Lancia fabric, which has been given a new identity thanks to a contemporary material: the seats and backrests are in blue double-stitched ribbed recycled velvet, the color of Lancia and from Cassina. The rest of the seat structure is made from recycled PVC. The same color is found on the door panel and dashboard inserts.

A new stylistic language for bodywork

The new Lancia Ypsilon is the first production car to apply the aesthetic principles of the Lancia Pu+Ra Design concept (a name combining “pure” and “radical”), a design language unique to the brand and intended to endure over time. Combining tradition and innovation, the model brings the brand into a new era by using an atypical vocabulary for the automotive industry: volumes are created by superimposing successive layers, adding and crossing basic and emblematic shapes such as circles. , rectangles and triangles. This unique brand identity is distinguished by the reinterpretation of tradition, in line with the creative axes of the Lancia Pu+Ra HPE concept car. The bodywork combines soft, pure and sensual shapes evoking the Aurelia and the Flaminia, with more modern and radical expressions inspired by certain sports models of the brand, such as the famous Stratos and Delta, but also with the language taken from the worlds of architecture, furniture or fashion.

The reference to the most brutal soul of the brand appears clearly on the rear part of the car: the New Lancia Ypsilon is equipped with round LED headlights, reminiscent of the unforgettable and legendary Lancia Stratos. These two lights now contain a new design element, the letter Y, made of brushed stainless steel and whose original font is inspired by the world of fashion.

This ideal conversation between purity and radicality is also underlined by the Ypsilon lettering which appears at the rear, its “handwritten” characters taking inspiration from historic Lancias such as Fulvia, Flavia and Flaminia.

The new Lancia lettering is also displayed on the shiny black front of the new Ypsilon, inspired by the Lancia Beta Montecarlo. The Lancia inscription stands out above a modern reinterpretation of the historic grille, the “chalice”, pushed towards the future by three futuristic rays of LED light that make it iconic, memorable and recognizable from afar, day or day. by night. This double signature will appear on the front of the three new models announced by the brand: this “chalice of light” virtually embraces the name of the brand and clearly characterizes Lancia’s new identity at the dawn of the electric era.

Another feature: the refinement of the new logo, a Progressive Classic element that underlines Lancia’s entry into electric mobility by reinterpreting all the historic distinctive signs of the brand – steering wheel, flag, shield, lance and name – with a touch of modernity to propel them into the future. All these elements symbolizing the nobility and heritage of Lancia are simplified and positioned in a new balance that expresses innovation, premium positioning and Italian spirit

Effortless technology for a city car at the best level

The New Lancia Ypsilon is an intelligent city car that stands out in the urban environment for its ease of driving, maneuverability and a first-class equipment package. The New Lancia Ypsilon thus embodies the brand’s vision in terms of technology and infotainment: Lancia technology is user-friendly, effortless and intuitive, to make life on board easier and feel at home.

The pillar of this concept is S.A.L.A., a virtual and intelligent interface that integrates the essential parameters to create a comfortable driving experience, in true Lancia style. In Italian, SALA means “living room”, but in this case it is Sound Air Light Augmentation, an infotainment system that brings together audio functions, air conditioning and ambient lighting. Driver and passengers can thus personalize the interior environment via a simple button.

The car’s audio system was specially designed by a Lancia sound engineer. The air conditioning system is equipped with a high-efficiency filter capable of removing up to 99% of harmful particles, for a healthier and more comfortable interior. And the car’s lighting can be fully personalized by touching the screen to create an exclusive atmosphere.

The S.A.L.A. system allows the New Lancia Ypsilon to adapt to the mood of the moment, immediately changing the music, air and light inside the cabin. This “living room” also expresses its pleasure through its adjustable, massaging and heated electric seats, which become real armchairs, through its keyless access and starting system or parking assistance. Let’s also mention its dual 10.25-inch digital screen. All this with great acoustic comfort on board for optimal well-being.

The experience on board the New Lancia Ypsilon is made even more relaxing

S.A.L.A. also comes standard with Bluetooth Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, and three USB-C ports. The infotainment system is complemented by S.A.L.A. HUB, the virtual assistant that improves the connection between car and driver. Finally, the New Lancia Ypsilon is equipped with the level 2 autonomous driving system which can be activated between 30 and 150 km/h and automatically adjusts the cruising speed and trajectory, thanks to the adaptive cruise control and the centering system in the lane or the assistance function in traffic jams, for safe driving with complete peace of mind.

New Lancia Ypsilon: the first car of a new era

The New Lancia Ypsilon is the brand’s first 100% electric car. With its 156 hp/115 kW engine and 51 kWh battery, the new Ypsilon has a range of 403 km in the WLTP mixed cycle and can recharge from 20 to 80% in 24 minutes. It is thus possible to recover 100 km of autonomy in just 10 minutes. Consumption is between 14.3 and 14.6 kWh per 100 km.

Lancia’s clear and ambitious electrification strategy includes the launch of three new models, one every two years. The new Lancia Ypsilon is launched in its 100% electric version. And in accordance with the Stellantis “Dare Forward” strategic plan, Lancia will only launch 100% electric models from 2026.

Free2move Charge delivers on its “easy to always be charged” promise
