The new-generation Ypsilon, which is offered for the first time with a five-door body, is available in three trim levels (Silver, Gold and Platinum), plus 17 body colors (four of which are two-tone schemes), six different upholsteries, three types of alloy wheels and three engine choices.
From the start, the citycar will be available with two petrol engines - a 69 hp 1.2-liter and Fiat’s innovative 0.9-liter TwinAir putting out 85 hp. The only diesel available at the moment is the 1.3-liter Multijet that develops 95 hp, with Lancia to offer later on a bi-fuel 67HP 1.2-liter unit that will run on petrol and LPG. All engines are fitted with the Stop&Start technology as standard, while the TwinAir is also made available with a DFN semi-automatic gearbox.
The starting price in Italy is €12,400 for the 1.2-liter petrol version in Silver trim, which comes with remote central locking, two-way adjustable steering column, electric front windows, 15-inch steel wheels, 50/50 folding rear bench seat, height adjustable driver seat, fabric upholstery and heated tailgate window.
Pay an extra €1,300, and you can drive away in an Ypsilon Gold, which gets extra air conditioning, radio-CD with MP3 reader, electrically adjustable mirrors, leather covered steering wheel and gearshift lever, Castiglio upholstery and a Comfort Pack.
If you want the electric rear windows, fog lights and 15-inch wheels, plus a bit of cow hide on the inside, expect to pay another €1,300. According to Lancia, the most expensive model you can have costs €17,300 - the 1.3-liter diesel in Platinum trim.
