The upcoming all-new Lancia Ypsilon has garnered quite a bit of attention, especially after a pre-production prototype was pulled out of a canal by French authorities. Despite this unfortunate mishap, Lancia is moving forward with its plans for the Ypsilon, aiming to make it a very important offering and a significant step in the company’s 10-year Renaissance Plan. This plan includes the launch of a new battery-electric Lancia flagship in 2026, followed by an electric Delta revival in 2028.
The latest teaser images of the Ypsilon, which is the first new model since 2011, showcase classic Lancia elegance and draw inspiration from the Pu+Ra HPE concept that the brand revealed in April 2023. Additionally, Lancia has partnered with Italian furniture company Cassina to produce an Edizione Limitata Cassina trim, limited to 1,906 numbered units as a nod to the carmaker’s founding in 1906.
In terms of technology, the Ypsilon is set to feature an advanced in-car assistant known as “SALA,” an initialism for Sound, Air, Light, and Augmentation. This system will control audio, climate, and lighting functions, with the ability to adapt the car’s interior environment at the touch of a button or by voice command. The Ypsilon will also offer Stellantis’ TAPE, which tailors the cabin ambience to one of three modes: Immersive, Wellbeing, and Entertainment.
Lancia is gearing up to debut the new Ypsilon crossover in February, with a battery-electric version set to be unveiled first. The vehicle will be built on Stellantis’ CMP architecture, and a hybrid powertrain option is expected to follow, potentially shared with the Jeep Avenger and the Alfa Romeo Milano. The anticipation for the new Ypsilon is building, and it appears that Lancia is poised to make a significant impact with its latest offerings in the automotive market.
