Lancia has unveiled the latest evolution of its outstanding HF and has shown that it will adorn a high-performance Ypsilon.
Starting with the new subcompact model, the Ypsilon HF will arrive next year and will be one hundred percent electric. Despite this, the corporation claimed that the car would feature a 237 hp (177 kW / 240 hp) “engine” and allow the hatchback to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 5. 8 seconds.
While the engine reference is a curious oversight, it’s worth noting that the HF variant will have an additional 83 hp (62 kW / 84 hp). The company also showed that the hot sedan will have a wider track and sportier suspension with reduced weight. body height.
Little is known about the Ypsilon HF at the moment, however, the model has a 51 kWh battery that provides 250 miles (403 km) of diversity in the WLTP combined cycle. The model also has two 10. 25-inch displays, a wireless smartphone charger, and a Level 2 semi-autonomous driving system.
As for the logo itself, it is an evolution of the original dating back to 1960, composed of the little elephant and the acronyms. This sounds familiar and the automaker noted that “the colours of the HF logo – white, red and black – have been reused, without adding graphic elements, but simplifying them and making them purer, respecting the unmistakable geometries of the Lancia brand. The company adds that the new logo is fresher and a “perfect balance between the afterlife and the future. “
