The Lancia Ypsilon expands with the arrival of a new hybrid variant. It will be sold alongside the electric vehicle unveiled earlier this year.
The automaker didn’t go into much detail, but said the model comes with a 1. 2-liter three-cylinder engine, a six-speed e-DCT automatic transmission, and a 48V mild hybrid system. This configuration allows the car to produce a modest 99 hp (74 kW/one hundred hp).
Considering this very low figure, it’s no wonder you’re told that the hybrid accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9. 3 seconds. The model will reach a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph), but the premium B-segment sedan focuses on power over speed.
Speaking of which, the styling has a fuel consumption of 4. 6 L/100 km (51. 1 mpg US). 61. 4 mpg UK). Lancia added that the hatchback can travel short distances solely on electric power, thanks to e-Creeping and e-Queuing. Funciones. La company claims that the powertrain offers the best of both worlds, offering versatility and “eco-friendliness. “
Like the electric vehicle, the hybrid is launched in the form of Edizione Limitata Cassina. As a result, the design features a familiar blue exterior with LED sets and 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. While the company hasn’t discussed any styling changes, the hybrid has more air intakes and a visual exhaust.

The interior looks intact and drivers will have heated front seats and blue velvet upholstery. They’re connected through a 10. 25-inch virtual tool cluster and an S. A. L. A. infotainment formula. The styling also has a Level 2 semi-autonomous driving formula, as well as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and a blind-spot following formula.
Pricing in Italy starts at €28,000 (about $30,500 at current exchange rates), considerably less than the €40,000 ($43,500) Lancia is asking for the EV Cassina launch edition. The hybrid option is now available on request, but it probably won’t last long, as Lancia moves to all-electric vehicles in 2028. As part of this effort, all new models introduced from 2026 onwards will be electric-only.
