Appearing
at an international show for the first time, the New Ypsilon previews at the
Frankfurt showcase. Five examples of the "Fashion City Car" will be
exhibited, representing the various styles of the vehicle, renewed in its
details to reaffirm its status as "trendsetter". Brand new exteriors
and interiors, as well as stellar, ecological Euro 6 engine types.
On sale
from September across the main European markets, the New Ypsilon is the fifth
generation of a best-seller which has revolutionised the city-car concept by
taking it to a higher level of style and elegance and seduced those looking for
originality and character, technology and elegance, quality and innovation. Over 2.7 million have been sold across Europe since 1985.
Its
success has lied in its capacity to evolve over the last thirty years to become
the Lancia Fashion City Car. Its merit also lies in the large number of special
series that have continuously updated the Lancia city car over the years,
sealing a prestigious partnership or particular technological or stylistic
connotation.
For this
important world preview, five seductive examples of the New Ypsilon are
presented at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. The
stand-out is the Platinum version with its unique "Blu di Blu" livery
and its black leather and Dinamica® interior. It fits new 16" two-colour
alloy rims, with diamond and burnished effect, and comes equipped with a 95 hp
1.3 Multijet engine.
The new
model boasts a unique kaleidoscope of refined colours and materials, like
"Cipria Glam" paintwork with black leather and dove grey Dinamica®
interiors fitting a 69 hp 1.2 petrol engine. The same engine is fitted on the
Silver trim level, the young, entry-level version which opens the doors to the
Ypsilon world, in a subtle "Khaki grey" tone.
Completing
the show is the New Ypsilon Gold, with two versions that show off the new
15" alloy rims, with a streamline design clearly inspired by the
"Y" shape logo. These are a 95 hp 1.3 Multijet with a new "Ivory
chic" pastel body and an 80 hp 0.9 Twinair Turbo Methane/Petrol with a three-coat
"Gelato White" metallic paint body. Both have new velvet interiors -
sienna the first and black the second.
The New Ypsilon
models on the Lancia stand are further embellished by Mopar accessories, for
that final touch of elegance and personality.
All the cars
come with exclusive floor mats and for the Platinum version with its unique
“Blu di Blu” livery, there are special chrome caps for the rear view mirrors,
emphasising the car from the front. Lastly, the Ypsilon logo makes the chromed
tyre valves even more original, and the door heel guards are in glossy black.
The urban panorama
is the real terrain of choice for the New Ypsilon, and the Lancia stand evokes
this with its modern, elegant staging. The vehicles are framed on a stage
boasting a back-lit glass wall and a large LED screen, and arranged between
high pillars, for an ideal skyline. In particular, the refined materials which
characterise the New Ypsilon are perceptible, to the eye and to the touch, on
pillars covered in black fabric and sienna velvet, and on the curved white
eco-leather panel that encircles the stand.
The Frankfurt
International Motor Show is also an opportunity to admire up close the
exclusive merchandising collection dedicated to the New Ypsilon, which will be
on display in an area of the stand together with exclusive accessories created
in collaboration with Mopar, the reference brand for services, Customer Care,

sweatshirts and t-shirt, a bracelet with the Y logo, an iPad holder and a pen

graphic solutions of the new Lancia.

automotive sector. The company operates on the main European markets and in
Germany with FCA Bank Deutschland GmbH with a solemission: to support

World
preview of the New Ypsilon :
Perfect
combination of elegance and manoeuvrability on four wheels, a car in which form
and functionality go hand-in-hand, and an anti-conformist model which boldly
expresses its own personality: these are the features which have made Ypsilon a
proven success for four generations with 2.7 million sold across Europe.
Today
the baton passes to the New Lancia Ypsilon that, to continue to be one of the
cars preferred by women, undergoes a renewal becoming even more elegant and
functional as well as offering precise details, refined materials, and an
attention to design typical of Lancia, and apparent in all three of the versions
available at the time of launch: Silver, Gold and Platinum.
On sale
from September across the main European markets, the New Ypsilon can be
equipped with two petrol engines, a 69 hp 1.2 with manual gearbox or 85 hp 0.9
TwinAir Turbo combined with semi-automatic transmission. Alternatively, the 95
hp 1.3 Multijet diesel, eco-friendly and fuel-efficient (just 95 g/km of CO2),
express the best of today's engineering in the field of small turbo diesels.
Completing the range are the bi-fuel Ecochic versions for cost-effective
running and high range: the 69 hp 1.2 LPG/Petrol (110 g/km of CO2) and the 80 hp two-cylinder 0.9 TwinAir
Turbo Methane/Petrol which guarantees low emissions (86 g/km of CO2)
and remarkably brilliant performance. The engine types, all Euro 6, are high
performing but offer contained consumption and are environmentally friendly
thanks to the Ecochic Turbo Methane and LPG range.
External
design: a daily fashion show through the city streets:
The New Ypsilon retains its qualities of compactness and versatility. It has five doors and compact dimensions, 384 cm in length, 168 wide, 152 high, with 239 cm wheelbase. These features make it ideal for urban use.The car boasts a new design that gives it a fresh, modern appearance that nevertheless remains faithful to its character and uniqueness. The style of the exteriors, always a key reason for purchasing the model, has been reinterpreted by designers at the Lancia Style Centre to give the car a fresher, harmonious look by emphasising the horizontal lines. In this manner, it is even more captivating, balanced and full of character while remaining compact and practical to be ideal in city traffic.
Specifically, the new front grill has a honeycomb
structure and its upper profile adopts the colour of the chassis, while the
lower one is chrome-coated. The Lancia shield is now subtly supported by the
grill itself, that underlines its lower profile, giving it a prominent
position. Even the bumper presents the same pattern, underlined with a chrome
insert. The overall optical effect is one of greater width that accentuates its
personality on the road.
The insert in the lower part of the rear bumper now takes on the colour of the chassis: a simple modification for a great result in terms of style. With this trick, the rear end appears even more streamline and elegant.
The colour palette is also renewed, with two new tones in addition
to the three pastel shades, six metallic/metal-flake colours and three-coat
white. There is delicate "Chic Ivory" that, refined and fresh at the
same times, fully expresses the Ypsilon spirit, and the elegant "Blu di
Blu": a colour that reinterprets the historic livery of the brand with
character and elegance.
Elegance
and functionality in the new vehicle:
The interiors of the New Ypsilon have been carefully updated, to
meet usage needs while also respecting the latest trends in terms of colours
and materials, and are the result of careful research into the colours,
material selection and attention to detail. New fabrics have been used for the
upholstery, while the seats and dash are created with new technologies.
In the Silver version, upholstery is
in printed fabric with "dégradé" motif, available in the black and
grey combination matched with the new grey dash or in black and blue matched
with the new blue dash. The new texture of the dash, matched to the interior,
transmits a sense of importance and gives the overall interior a more marked
touch of glamour. A modern space that exploits the most innovative moulding
technologies, dedicated to young customers looking for an elegant, fashionable
car that is manoeuvrable and economically accessible but, at the same time,
boasts a strong personality.
The Gold version has fabric and
velvet interiors which are extremely soft and pleasant to the touch. The
irregular geometric chevron motif which adorns the seat backs and cushions is
created using a modern type of velvet, while the uniformity of the dash is
ensured by its silky surface that embellishes the entire passenger compartment.
Created for young, modern women who want to charm, two colour combinations are
available for the interiors, both with cream inserts: the first solution
features sienna and black combined with a sienna dashboard, while the second
has black interiors and black dashboard.
The Dinamica® fabric combined with leather is the key element of the
Platinum version. The geometric pattern embellished with contrasting stitching
conveys the impression of being in a cosily comfortable and elegant lounge;
matched with the black leather, along the sides of the seats and on the dash,
it gives a more refined overall look. Two variants of these interiors are
available: black leather and black Dinamica® or black leather and dove grey
Dinamica®. Whatever the choice, the colour combinations are perfect for
demanding women who understand the importance of details.
The instrument panels are also new, for more immediate reading, as
is the gear stick knob, now more precious and ergonomic. The internal comfort
has been improved, particularly thanks to the completely redesigned central
tunnel that, together with the new glove boxes, has internal capacity increased
to 3 litres, injecting the "Fashion City Car" with greater
versatility.
Another key innovation is UconnectTM, the new infotainment system, standard with all versions starting
from Gold, which allows the multimedia devices to be managed via a combination
of the 5" touchscreen, steering wheel controls and user-friendly graphics.
From the radio to the main multimedia support systems which can be connected
via USB port, Aux-in connector or Bluetooth audio streaming.
The new
infotainment system provides a wide range of functions, including Bluetooth
hands-free system, voice recognition, function for reading text messages
received on compatible telephones using “text to speech” technology. Finally,
DAB digital radio is available on demand.

downloaded to smartphones from Apple Store or Google Play Store. As soon as the
smartphone is connected to the car, numerous apps can be viewed and checked via
the touch screen of the UconnectTM
system. The apps have be redesigned and adapted for use while driving to keep
concentrated on the road. Availability of Uconnect™ LIVE will be gradually
extended across Europe.

to reducing CO2 emissions by

Uconnect™ LIVE

an interactive owner handbook to manage car maintenance as best as possible.
Furthermore, when a smartphone is connected via Bluetooth, the most important
warnings are transferred to the Uconnect™ LIVE personal account to make
servicing easy as never before. Finally, the “FIND MyCar” function allows to
record where the car is parked on a smartphone to locate it again easily using
satellite data.
Uconnect™ LIVE with TomTom LIVE services:
Finally, Uconnect™
5” Radio Nav LIVE with integrated TomTom 2.5D navigator and voice controls is
available on demand. Navigating even the most complicated crossroads and
junctions is easy with powerful features like the advanced lane indicator.
Additionally, the TomTom IQ Routes® function is the most simple way to
calculate the fastest route based on real clocked average speeds. Last but not
least, drivers can travel in complete safety by receiving "turn by
turn" instructions on the instrument panel when other functions are active
on the radio.
Uconnect™
5’’ Radio Nav LIVE includes TomTom Live services with voice commands and high
quality traffic information, making every journey more efficient thanks to the
Uconnect LIVE app.

New Ypsilon can now experience the TomTom connected navigation experience, the
world's greatest source of traffic information. UconnectTM supplies faster routes and the most precise estimates of arrival
time, and as well as real time information on traffic conditions, users also
benefit from information on fixed and mobile speed camera locations where
