Official: Lancia Ypsilon reborn as EV supermini with 250-mile range
Italian brand’s resurgence begins with bold supermini featuring new infotainment and on-board table
Lancia has officially revealed the new Ypsilon electric hatchback as well as official specifications, complete with a bold, concept-inspired look, Stellantis’s new infotainment and an EV range of 250 miles.
The long-awaited electric car is Lancia's first, and launches in Ypsilon Limited Edition Cassina form, which the Italian firm claims has been "inspired by the world of Italian furnishings." Just 1906 examples to be produced in tribute to the Italian brand's founding year.
It will be fully introduced on 14 February at Lancia's headquarters in Milan, with customers able to express their interest in buying one through an online portal and joining the brand's One of 1906 campaign.
Said to "represent the maximum expression of design, comfort and well-being on board a Lancia", the new supermini takes its design cues from the Pura HPE concept shown last spring.
The brand said: "The bodywork features the soft, elegant pure, and sensual shapes of the Aurelia and Flaminia, combined with the most modern expressions of radicalism inspired by the brand’s sporting history, embodied by the renowned Stratos and Delta, and by the language of architecture, furnishings, and fashion."
