Lancia Ypsilon
Perfect combination of elegance and manoeuvrability on four wheels, a car in which form and functionality go hand-in-hand, and an anti-conformist model which boldly expresses its own personality: these are the features which have made Ypsilon a proven success for four generations with 2.7 million sold across Europe.
Today the baton passes to the New Lancia Ypsilon that, to continue to be one of the cars preferred by women, undergoes a renewal becoming even more elegant and functional as well as offering precise details, refined materials, and an attention to design typical of Lancia, and apparent in all three of the versions available at the time of launch: Silver, Gold and Platinum.
On sale from September 2015 across the main European markets, the New Ypsilon can be equipped with two petrol engines, a 69 hp 1.2 with manual gearbox or 85 hp 0.9 TwinAir Turbo combined with semi-automatic transmission. Alternatively, the 95 hp 1.3 Multijet diesel, eco-friendly and fuel-efficient (just 95 g/km of CO2), express the best of today's engineering in the field of small turbo diesels. Completing the range are the bi-fuel Ecochic versions for cost-effective running and high range: the 69 hp 1.2 LPG/Petrol (110 g/km of CO2) and the 80 hp two-cylinder 0.9 TwinAir Turbo Methane/Petrol which guarantees low emissions (86 g/km of CO2) and remarkably brilliant performance. The engine types, all Euro 6, are high performing but offer contained consumption and are environmentally friendly thanks to the Ecochic Turbo Methane and LPG range.
External design: a daily fashion show through the city streets
The New Ypsilon retains its qualities of compactness and versatility. It has five doors and compact dimensions, 384 cm in length, 168 wide, 152 high, with 239 cm wheelbase. These features make it ideal for urban use. The car boasts a new design that gives it a fresh, modern appearance that nevertheless remains faithful to its character and uniqueness. The style of the exteriors, always a key reason for purchasing the model, has been reinterpreted by designers at the Lancia Style Centre to give the car a fresher, harmonious look by emphasising the horizontal lines. In this manner, it is even more captivating, balanced and full of character while remaining compact and practical to be ideal in city traffic.
Specifically, the new front grill has a honeycomb structure and its upper profile adopts the colour of the chassis, while the lower one is chrome-coated. The Lancia shield is now subtly supported by the grill itself, that underlines its lower profile, giving it a prominent position. Even the bumper presents the same pattern, underlined with a chrome insert. The overall optical effect is one of greater width that accentuates its personality on the road.
The insert in the lower part of the rear bumper now takes on the colour of the chassis: a simple modification for a great result in terms of style. With this trick, the rear end appears even more streamline and elegant.
The colour palette is also renewed, with two new tones in addition to the three pastel shades, six metallic/metal-flake colours and three-coat white. There is delicate "Chic Ivory" that, refined and fresh at the same times, fully expresses the Ypsilon spirit, and the elegant "Blu di Blu": a colour that reinterprets the historic livery of the brand with character and elegance.
Elegance and functionality in the new vehicle
The interiors of the New Ypsilon have been carefully updated, to meet usage needs while also respecting the latest trends in terms of colours and materials, and are the result of careful research into the colours, material selection and attention to detail. New fabrics have been used for the upholstery, while the seats and dash are created with new technologies.
In the Silver version, upholstery is in printed fabric with "dégradé" motif, available in the black and grey combination matched with the new grey dash or in black and blue matched with the new blue dash. The new texture of the dash, matched to the interior, transmits a sense of importance and gives the overall interior a more marked touch of glamour. A modern space that exploits the most innovative moulding technologies, dedicated to young customers looking for an elegant, fashionable car that is manoeuvrable and economically accessible but, at the same time, boasts a strong personality.
The Gold version has fabric and velvet interiors which are extremely soft and pleasant to the touch. The irregular geometric chevron motif which adorns the seat backs and cushions is created using a modern type of velvet, while the uniformity of the dash is ensured by its silky surface that embellishes the entire passenger compartment. Created for young, modern women who want to charm, two colour combinations are available for the interiors, both with cream inserts: the first solution features sienna and black combined with a sienna dashboard, while the second has black interiors and black dashboard.
The Dinamica® fabric combined with leather is the key element of the Platinum version. The geometric pattern embellished with contrasting stitching conveys the impression of being in a cosily comfortable and elegant lounge; matched with the black leather, along the sides of the seats and on the dash, it gives a more refined overall look. Two variants of these interiors are available: black leather and black Dinamica® or black leather and dove grey Dinamica®. Whatever the choice, the colour combinations are perfect for demanding women who understand the importance of details.
The instrument panels are also new, for more immediate reading, as is the gear stick knob, now more precious and ergonomic. The internal comfort has been improved, particularly thanks to the completely redesigned central tunnel that, together with the new glove boxes, has internal capacity increased to 3 litres, injecting the "Fashion City Car" with greater versatility.
Another key innovation is UconnectTM, the new infotainment system, standard with all versions starting from Gold, which allows the multimedia devices to be managed via a combination of the 5" touchscreen, steering wheel controls and user-friendly graphics. From the radio to the main multimedia support systems which can be connected via USB port, Aux-in connector or Bluetooth audio streaming.
The new infotainment system provides a wide range of functions, including Bluetooth hands-free system, voice recognition, function for reading text messages received on compatible telephones using "text to speech" technology. Finally, DAB digital radio is available on demand.
Latest generation infotainment with the UconnectTM system
UconnectTM LIVE services are now debuting in the New Ypsilon. The UconnectTM LIVE app can be downloaded to smartphones from Apple Store or Google Play Store. As soon as the smartphone is connected to the car, numerous apps can be viewed and checked via the touch screen of the UconnectTM system. The apps have be redesigned and adapted for use while driving to keep concentrated on the road. Availability of UconnectTM LIVE will be gradually extended across Europe.
