New Lancia Ypsilon, preview
The new Lancia Ypsilon is not a crossover, as initially hypothesized, but one hatchback, under 1.50 meters in height. But it could take on many features, especially technical ones, of the latest innovations from Stellantis, including the Jeep Avengerthe Fiat 600 and the future B-SUV Alfa Romeo. He will share with them the e-CMP2 platform of PSA origin, capable of hosting different engines, both thermal and electrified or completely electric.
The latter will probably fit the tested one 156 HP electric motor powered by a 3000mAh battery 54 kWhwhich guarantees an autonomy of over 400km. Subsequently, as already happened with the Avenger and the 600, the Ypsilon will also be available in a mild hybrid at 48 Voltsprobably with the same engine 1.2 turbo petrol with 136 HP.

This system, developed internally by Stellantis Group and driven by artificial intelligence, it adapts to the driver's individual preferences and allows the driver and passenger to adjust the car's interior environment simply by touching a button or using voice control.
