250 Mile Range, New Lancia Ypsilon Limited Edition Cassina EV 2024,,Introduced.Limited to 1,906 Units
- 3 months ago
Lancia will build just 1,906 units of the Ypsilon Limited Edition Cassina before launching EV and mild-hybrid versions for the wider market
The much-anticipated “renaissance” of the neglected Lancia brand has finally begun with the automaker's first EV. Following numerous leaks and teasers, the all-new 2024 Lancia Ypsilon has been officially previewed ahead of its debut in Milan on February 14.
The subcompact model, or supermini in Europe, was introduced with the EV-specific Limited Edition Cassina equipment. Lancia plans to produce 1,906 "numbered and certified units" in honor of the brand's founding anniversary.
While this may be the first time Lancia has shown the Ypsilon in all its glory, we already know its appearance pretty well from a few previous leaks. Ypsilon, the first production model of Lancia's new style language, features the illuminated version of the "kalice" grille and round taillights inspired by the iconic Lancia Stratos.
Other exterior highlights include polygonal headlights mounted lower than usual on the front bumper and gloss black accents on the exterior. Yet the familiar proportions, shared mirror caps and parts of the greenhouse can't hide the fact that the new Ypsilon is the proudly Italian sibling of the Peugeot 208 and Opel Corsa.
Looking inside, great attention has been paid to high-quality materials and unique design features to make the cabin resemble an Italian living room, at least according to Lancia. This feeling is further emphasized thanks to the collaboration with Italian high-end furniture brand Cassina, which contributed to the choice of materials and colors. Highlights include velvet-upholstered seats with a nostalgic "cannelloni" motif and a circular center console that resembles a coffee table.
The new Ypsilon is also the first model to introduce Lancia's SALA (Sound Air Light Augmentation) infotainment system, which will feature across the entire future product range. The digital cockpit has a dual-screen layout, while the illuminated sphere at the top of the instrument panel likely serves as an AI-powered virtual assistant.
Lancia did not reveal the technical specifications of the new Ypsilon, instead focusing on its exterior and interior design. The only official figure provided is the WLTP range of 403 km (250 miles) on a single charge. This range is achieved through the use of a 54 kWh battery pack, presumably shared between various Stellantis EVs of the same size and platform.
The Italian hatchback shares its platform with numerous other Stellantis vehicles, including the Peugeot e-208 and Opel Corsa (which explains the familiar profile) and even the Jeep Avenger. The electric hatchback will be followed by a hybrid version that is expected to take over the mild-hybrid turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine from the Group's parts bin.
