Lancia Ypsilon

Lancia will ship in October the new Ypsilon range of the current. It differs because it has slight changes in the body, new names for the trim levels and a broader range of diesel and gasoline engines.

The engine range consists of two diesel and three petrol. Diesels are a 75-16V 1.3 Multijet and 90 bhp (with particulate filter as standard). Although Lancia calls this engine 1.3, its capacity is 1.2 l. The Ypsilon was launched in 2003 had a variant of this engine but with 69 hp.

These two Diesel engines can have a five-speed manual gearbox or an automatic clutch driven (which Lancia called DFN).

In there is a 1.2 l petrol 60 hp and two 1.4 liter 77 hp (with eight valves) and 95 hp (sixteen valves). In Spain, all engines of the Ypsilon are the same as the Grande Punto, but the 1.2 l petrol and 60 hp. The Ypsilon can not carry the 1.9 liter diesel 130 bhp available on the Grande Punto.

The 95 hp gasoline may have a manual gearbox or an automatic six-speed robotized. All other gasoline engines can only have five-speed manual gearbox.

In the new Ypsilon four names based on the level of equipment "Argento ',' Oro Bianco", "Oro Giallo" and "Platinum." The body has very slight changes in appearance, the grill is new and can be painted (version "Argento") or terminated in two types of chrome finishes (from version 'Oro Bianco).

The bumpers and fog lamps look different, and in the top of the bumper now has a small air inlet. The rear lights have the same form as in the Ypsilon in 2003, but now have a white plastic finish, instead of a red shades.

There are a variety of 15 colors for the body, of which 7 are new, and there are 9 new possibilities for body paint in two colors (one color for the roof, its pillars and tailgate, and another for the rest of the body).

Optionally, Ypsilon can lead a system (called 'Blue & Me', developed by Fiat Auto and Microsoft) that consists of recognizing voice commands, wireless 'Bluetooth' for the phone, CD player with MP3 format, and a USB connection between front seats that can connect different types of digital devices for playing audio files.

The Lancia Ypsilon is sold only body with three doors. It has a high driving position, almost like a van of its size. An interesting functional aspect is that the rear seat is adjustable lengthwise (10 cm) and seat-back.

The interior of the Ypsilon is distinguished because it can be coated in materials such as leather, Alcantara and various types of fabrics, which give a positive impression of quality and are not common in other cars of this size.
