Lancia will unveil the redesigned Ypsilon in February, but some undisguised images have surfaced online.
The styling follows in the footsteps of the HPE Pu Ra concept and features a thick black stripe with the inscription “LANCIA”. They are joined together by thin LED strips and low headlights. We can also see vertical air curtains and a giant central entrance.
The rear is unobtrusive by comparison, but the styling has circular taillights with Y-shaped elements. They are connected via a black bar, which happens to be designed to echo the one on the front. Additional main points are tricky However, the Ypsilon has a small rear spoiler and a curvaceous rear window.

Spy photographers have already gotten a peek inside and the car will be equipped with a digital instrument cluster as well as a new SALA infotainment system. We can also expect a flat-bottom steering wheel, a tray-like table, and an illuminated orb that gives off an Amazon Echo vibe.
Lancia is slowly teasing the model, but has already confirmed the Ypsilon will be offered with hybrid and electric powertrains. Specifics are hazy, but rumors have suggested the electric variant could have a lot in common with the Jeep Avenger and Peugeot e-208. If that’s the case, we can expect a 154 hp (115 kW / 156 PS) motor and a 54 kWh battery that provides approximately 248 miles (400 km) of range.
