Ypsilon, the Lancia monster – The Republic

Years pass – 30 if we put in even one that “people like you like (the Y10) – but the Ypsilon does not give up and continues to blend primates sales as if nothing had happened. Merit of that delicate balance between elegance and refinement – even in concrete periods like ours – the end always warms the hearts of customers.

One thing is certain: the Lancia we really know how to do because all the news (exterior and revised interior, Euro 6 engines brilliant and ecological, accuracy in detail) all go in the same direction, to increase the glamor. a difficult strategy but that is paying off doing overcome in sales (and image) to the Ypsilon much more modern competitors.

Three of the features included – Silver, Gold and Platinum, already the names do understand the “cut” … – and a wide choice of engines. That is two petrol: 1.2 69 bhp with manual transmission and 0.9 TwinAir Turbo 85 hP combined with the automatic gearbox.
