Lancia Ypsilon, 35 years after its debut, enters the 'green' world by combining the advantages of mild hybrid technology with those values, style and elegance, which have always distinguished it and which in the first quarter of 2020 made it conquer the first place in the segment with a share of 16.2%.

With the launch of the new Hybrid EcoChic version, Lancia proposes - alongside the appreciated EcoChic with natural gas fuel - a model perfectly in line with the new urban mobility needs. A debut for the new Ypsilon - underlined Antonella Bruno, head of Lancia brand, during the virtual presentation conference - which perfectly responds to the new trends in individual post-Covid behaviors. '' Today we all feel a greater need for safety and well-being. We are looking for protected environments in which to find a new form of individual freedom and the car is certainly one of them. We live - said Bruno - also a moment of 'recovery' in which we perceive the desire for positive energy, combined with the search for beauty also in everyday objects. A third trend is what is called new awareness which translates into greater respect for oneself, for others and for the environment around us. ''

Ypsilon Hybrid EcoChic allows - with its BSG (Belt integrated Starter Generator) system which supports the operation of the 3-cylinder 70 HP Firefly 1.0 engine - a reduction of consumption and therefore of CO2 emissions that can reach up to 24%, with great advantages for the environment but also for driving comfort. In fact, the BSG allows silent and vibration-free restarts of the thermal engine during the strart & stop operating phases and allows the 'sailing' function which makes the car move forward when you take your foot off the accelerator. In addition, Ypsilon Hybrid EcoChic offers all the advantages of homologation as a hybrid vehicle - as well as being compliant with the Euro 6d Final regulation - and ensures, according to the various local regulations, facilitations such as freedom of access and movement in urban centers, reducing the cost of the parking in the center and tax breaks.

With the launch of Ypsilon Hybrid EcoChic, the special Maryne series debuts, offering manual air conditioning as standard, the height-adjustable driver's seat, split rear seat, Bluetooth radio with steering wheel controls, USB socket and DAB (Digital Radio) technology , cruise control and rain and twilight sensors. From an aesthetic point of view, it expresses its EcoChic attitude with its elegant 'dress code' in Blue Maryne and extremely refined aesthetic finishes. The new Hybrid badge on the tailgate, the EcoChic logo on the upright and the privacy glass stand out.

Also new are the finishes in Dark Gray burnished that characterize the lower grille and the logo holder mustache, in addition to the mirror caps, the door handles and the signature logo of the rear hatch. Nuova Ypsilon Hybrid is also equipped with the D-Fence by Mopar package which includes a filter that retains impurities coming from the outside (blocks particulates and practically 100% of allergens, and reduces the formation of mold and bacteria by 98%) ; a purifier for the passenger compartment that filters the micro-particles and a UV lamp which helps to sanitize all contact surfaces such as the steering wheel, gearbox and seats. The ecological vocation of Ypsilon Hybrid is confirmed, in addition to the use of the 'green' engine, by the adoption of fabrics for the seats made with Seaqual yarn. It is a material obtained from plastic collected from the Mediterranean with the help of fishermen and then transformed into a polyester yarn. During the weaving phase, Seaqual is mixed with other natural fibers, recycled or recovered.

Ypsilon Hybrid EcoChic can also be ordered with the Silver and Gold trim levels. In addition to the standard equipment, the Gold set-up offers leather steering wheel and gearshift gaiter, electric mirrors, rear parking sensors, chromed exhaust, 15-inch style rims, mirror covers in glossy black, integrated fog lights, Uconnect infotainment with 5-inch radio touchscreen with Bluetooth, DAB technology and integrated live services, steering wheel controls and USB. The interiors are in Jacquard fabric, embellished with gold or blue threads.

Perfectly in line with the times also the proposal that FCA Bank has made for the debut of the new Ypsilon, the first hybrid Lancia of this famous brand. Until June 30 the cost will be 4 euros per day, according to an innovative financing formula that provides zero advance, zero installments until 2021 with the first 18 monthly installments of 115 euros (precisely 4 per day) and then 72 installments of 185 euro (TAN 6.85% and APR 9.03%).
