Retirement age raised again! The elderly Lancia Ypsilon gets an update

The Lancia Ypsilon should have been sitting at home with AOW benefits and an additional pension for a long time. But no, the 12-year-old model still has to work hard in her native Italy. That’s why he gets a final update.

Lancia is only active in Italy, where the brand only sells the Ypsilon. What a sad thing you might think, but Lancia has sold more cars than Alfa Romeo in recent years, so the manufacturer isn’t all that pathetic.

The new Lancia Ypsilon is coming in 2024

Parent company Stellantis has confidence in the brand and is working on a return. For now, three new Lancias are on the agenda, including the Ypsilon (which will arrive in 2024), an as yet unnamed flagship, and the Delta.

Until then, old Ypsilon has to pull the cart. That’s why Lancia has given the almost twelve-year-old hatchback a refresh. What does that mean? Among other things, a renewed infotainment system with now Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Three-cylinder with mild hybrid support

In addition, the Ypsilon has a wireless phone charger in the interior and a reversing camera for the first time. In addition, Lancia has improved the cabin in points, with upholstery made of recycled plastic from the Mediterranean Sea on the seats.

But the most important change is under the hood, which now houses a 1.0-liter three-cylinder with mild hybrid support. The whole is good for a power of 70 hp. The Lancia Ypsilon is available in Italy from 15,150 euros.
