AutoExec Summary
Months before its scheduled debut, the all-new 2024 Lancia Ypsilon was spotted filming in Milan, Italy, ahead of its launch later this year. Despite being on sale for 12 years, the current model was still the third best-selling car in Italy in 2023, with 44,929 units sold. The upcoming Ypsilon is crucial for the Italian brand, owned by Stellantis, as it will lead the revival of the historic 117-year-old automaker. The new model, influenced by iconic Lancia cars like the Aurelia, Delta, and Stratos, is expected to reinvent the brand as a premium design-focused EV manufacturer. It will likely share a platform with the Fiat 500e and feature a 42kWh lithium-ion battery with an 82kW/220Nm electric motor. The Ypsilon will be followed by a flagship sedan in 2026 and a spiritual successor to the Delta hatch, both equipped with the latest EV technology from Stellantis. Lancia may expand to right-hand drive markets like Japan, South Africa, and Australia if the brand’s revival is successful. Stay tuned for more teasers leading up to the Ypsilon’s launch.
